The leaders among economically developed countries are Italy, among the countries with economies in transition - China, and among the emerging economies - India. Based on lexical analysis of key terms, the following concomitant diseases were identified: carcinoma, leukoplakia, hepatitis, and lupus.

The Creative Career of Mikhail V. Shkondin (Analysis of Publication Activity)

Over the past twenty years, Russian scientists have been able to use the resources of the scientific electronic library eLibrary. The scientific and educational experience of the author of the article suggests that not all researchers adequately use the resources of this library to assess their own publication activity, determine their place among the authors of the relevant topics and manage their own publication indicators. It is important in the competitive environment of the scientific world both for the authors themselves and for the scientific and educational organizations affiliated with them. The study analyzed the publication indicators of one of the well-known authors in the field of media research — Mikhail Vasilievich Shkondin in accordance with the possibilities provided by the NEB for such an analysis. The specific reason for the analysis was the anniversary of M.V. Shkondin. The article presents general indicators of the publication activity of M.V. Shkondin (the number of publications, the number of citations, the Hirsch index for eLibrary, for the RSCI and for the core of the RSCI), places in the ranking for the same indicators, a statistical analysis of the dynamics of the number of publications by M.V. Shkondin according to the RSCI and the core of the RSCI, distribution of publications by journals, distribution of citations of M.V. Shkondin's texts by years of citing and cited publications. In addition to quantitative, we also conducted a qualitative analysis of the topics of M.V. Shkondin's publications. The study found that M.V. Shkondin's publication activity indicators are clear evidence of the professor's significant contribution to the development of media and journalism research.

Online Broadcasting and Video Recording of Classes as An Effective Tool for Organizing E-Learning

Relevance. Online broadcasting and video recording of classes as a method of organizing e-learning and transferring knowledge using distance learning technologies today are of increasing interest to students and lecturers. However, most researchers distinguish the high labor intensity and the presence of additional skills on the part of the lecturer as a prerequisite for the implementation of a successful video lecture. At the same time, lecturers continue to conduct traditional classes in the “pre-pandemic” mode and the placement of additional material in the electronic information-educational environment (EIEE) for students on an individual schedule continues. Often, for remote participants in the educational process, an individual educational trajectory of learning is developed and the load on the lecturer increases, who is forced to use different methods and forms of education to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students. As an alternative for optimization, the authors propose the introduction of online broadcasting of classes as the most effective method and form of online learning.The purpose of the study is to develop a balanced model for the use of online broadcasting and video recording of classes in the organization of e-learning with the possibility of fixing the progress of the educational process and controlling knowledge.Materials and methods. Using a keyword search in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) system, the authors found that researchers do not use the concept of “Online broadcasting of classes”. However, the analysis of publication activity in the RSCI system for 2017-2021 showed a positive trend in the use of the terms “Online lesson”, “Synchronous learning”, which are the closest in meaning to the concept of “Online broadcast of classes”. The publication proposes criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the use of online broadcasting of classes in the organization of training at a university. As an example of the implementation of a solution for organizing online broadcasting, recording classes, the system “Information Resource Center” used in the Volga State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism was described and compared with the proposed performance criteria.Results. As a result of the analysis, it was found that this type of systems (online broadcast systems) do not provide for the possibility of fixing the assimilation of the material and do not allow to fully fix the progress of the educational process and control knowledge when organizing e-learning.Conclusions. The authors propose the integration of online broadcast systems with the e-learning system as a working model for the use of online broadcast and video recording of classes in the organization of e-learning, which will satisfy all the criteria established in the study. The model designed in the course of the study is universal and can be used applying any methodological techniques, including the use of the “flipped class” model, when material for preliminary acquaintance is placed in advance of the lesson, and it is analyzed during the lesson itself.

The Effectiveness of Research and Development in the Field of Transport and Space Systems in Russia: Analysis of Publication Activity

The aim of the study. Federal target program “Research and development in priority areas of development of the scientific and technological complex of Russia for 2014-2021” defines transport and space systems as a priority area of strategic importance for the country’s economy. The aim of the work is to study the state of research and development in the field of study and development of transport and space systems based on performance analysis, as well as to compare the effectiveness of scientific activities of educational organizations of higher education and scientific organizations in this area.Materials and methods. The information base of the study was statistical data and analytical information reflecting the state of research and development in the field of study and development of transport and space systems. The methodological base of the study is statistical methods of information analysis: analysis of variance, testing of statistical hypotheses, non-parametric criteria for comparing samples, analysis of time series, structural analysis.Results and discussion. The article reflects the results of the Institute for the Study of Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences monitoring the scientific potential of organizations conducting research and development in the priority area of scientific and technological development “Connectedness of the territory of the Russian Federation through the creation of intelligent transport and telecommunication systems, as well as the occupation and retention of leadership positions in the creation of international transport and logistics systems, the development and use of outer space and air space, the World Ocean, the Arctic and Antarctic”. This publication, in particular, analyzes the effectiveness of research and development in the priority area “Transport and space systems”.As a result of the analysis, conclusions were drawn about the main directions and trends of research and development in the field of studying and developing transport and space systems in Russia for the period 2015-2019. With the help of methods of dispersion analysis, nonparametric criteria, etc., a comparison was made of the effectiveness of scientific activity of educational organizations of higher education and scientific organizations.The analysis showed that international publishing analytical systems occupy a greater weight in the volume of publications compared to the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI).Researchers of educational organizations of higher education have 5 times more publications than employees of scientific organizations, which can be explained by overestimated requirements for positions of faculty and the formation of “garbage” articles. In terms of citation, 2017 was the most successful year for Russian researchers in the field of transport and space systems. At the same time, the citation of researchers from educational organizations was 3-3.5 times higher in international publications and twice as high in RSCI publications. Scientific organizations in the field of scientific, design, technological works show much greater effectiveness and efficiency compared to educational institutions of higher education. For the period 2015-2019 a trend towards a decrease in the results of intellectual activity was revealed for all organizations under consideration.The analysis also showed the low performance of small innovative enterprises in this priority area for the period 2015-2019. In Russia, they have not received proper development. Dispersion analysis, testing of statistical hypotheses using nonparametric methods made it possible to compare the results of the activities of scientific organizations and organizations of higher education.Conclusions. Thus, one of the ways to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of science in Russia can be attributed to the revival of the system of research institutes, the activities of which would be aimed at meeting the specific scientific needs of the state.

From Classical Machine Learning to Deep Neural Networks: A Simplified Scientometric Review

There are promising prospects on the way to widespread use of AI, as well as problems that need to be overcome to adapt AI&ML technologies in industries. The paper systematizes the AI sections and calculates the dynamics of changes in the number of scientific articles in machine learning sections according to Google Scholar. The method of data acquisition and calculation of dynamic indicators of changes in publication activity is described: growth rate (D1) and acceleration of growth (D2) of scientific publications. Analysis of publication activity, in particular, showed a high interest in modern transformer models, the development of datasets for some industries, and a sharp increase in interest in methods of explainable machine learning. Relatively small research domains are receiving increasing attention, as evidenced by the negative correlation between the number of articles and D1 and D2 scores. The results show that, despite the limitations of the method, it is possible to (1) identify fast-growing areas of research regardless of the number of articles, and (2) predict publication activity in the short term with satisfactory accuracy for practice (the average prediction error for the year ahead is 6%, with a standard deviation of 7%). This paper presents results for more than 400 search queries related to classified research areas and the application of machine learning models to industries. The proposed method evaluates the dynamics of growth and the decline of scientific domains associated with certain key terms. It does not require access to large bibliometric archives and allows to relatively quickly obtain quantitative estimates of dynamic indicators.

Society’s Readiness for Modern Challenges of the Insurance Market: Bibliometric Analysis

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the insurance market issue. The research’s primary purpose is to identify critical vectors and trends inherent in the modern insurance market. Systematization of literary sources and approaches for solving the problem of development and formation of the current insurance market indicates that it is necessary to use the best countries’ experience, adapting it to the domestic market. This concerns the issues of targeted financing of investment projects, the creation of funds to support policyholders’ protection, tax benefits for long-term insurance instruments, the possibility of opening a foreign insurance market for insurance institutions. The relevance of the decision of this scientific problem caused by the lack of standard definition of the concept of insurance by the academic community drives limited ability to assess the impact of insurance on social and economic aspects of society. Investigation of the topic of theoretical principles of insurance in the paper is carried out in the following logical sequence: analysis of the relationship between different types of insurance, analysis of publication activity in terms of years, countries, subject industries; research of keywords that occur when considering the topic of insurance. The research methods’ methodological tools were analytical tools of the Scopus database and VOSviewer software years of research 1832 – 2021. According to the international Scopus database results, the object of study is the chosen countries, regions, and universities. The paper presents empirical bibliographic analysis results, which showed that today the vast majority of research is conducted by experts from the United States and the European Union. Still, many Asian countries (China, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand), which demonstrate rapid economic development, are beginning to take a leading position among insurance research gradually. The research empirically confirms and theoretically proves that the insurance market is an integral and important part of the financial sector as a whole. The results of the research can be useful for further scientific work.

European Publications of the 19th Century as a Source of Oriental Motifs in Decorative Arts and an Attribution Tool

The nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries in the history of European decorative art are marked by a new rise in interest in the art of the Far East. In contrast to the previous century, at the new stage, this interest is characterised by more interesting and deeper interpretations of exotic artistic traditions. The reasons for the emergence of a new wave of Chinese style and, later, Japanism were several factors, among which the authors single out the institute of world exhibitions and the formation of museum and private collections. This article considers several cases demonstrating the important role of publication activity in the dissemination of oriental motifs and plots in the decorative art of Western Europe, Russia, and the Urals. Referring to works of European jewelers, Russian stonecutters, and Ural iron foundry workers, the authors reveal the main opportunities provided by the study and analysis of publications of an artistic, reference, and academic nature from between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article examines European print publications as direct and possible sources of oriental plots, which, in addition, make it possible to clarify the attribution of individual works and form an understanding of the mechanisms of integration of exotic motifs into traditional types of decorative art in the Urals. The analysis of publication activity, as well as of specific works of European and Russian masters, not only made it possible to demonstrate the role of publications of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in disseminating information about exotic artistic traditions. The examples considered convincingly prove the need to comprehend the decorative and applied art of Russia in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as part of the European art market, and once again confirm the involvement of the Ural art industry in the current stylistic agenda.

Проблематика налоговой политики в условиях короновирусных угроз, содержащаяся в публикациях российских исследователей (Problems of Tax Policy in the Context of Coronavirus Threats Considered in the Publications of Russian Researchers)

The study of publications by domestic and foreign authors on taxation and tax administration in the context of COVID-19 and the way out of the coronavirus crisis is relevant in order to identify significant tax instruments to counter epidemiological threats and improve the economic security of the state.The article provides an overview and systematization of publications by domestic authors on tax policy in the context of COVID-19. An analysis of publication activity on the topic of taxation and tax administration in the context of the coronavirus crisis showed that there are not so many such publications. There are not enough publications of a comprehensive nature. In most of the publications, when considering trends in a particular tax, its specificity is noted in the context of a coronavirus situation.Publications on the development of digitalization of tax administration and taxation of digital transactions in modern conditions, taking into account the challenges of the medical and economic crisis, are extremely in demand. It is also necessary to carry out more often a permanent systematic analysis of the experience of foreign countries in addressing issues of combating tax methods and methods with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Competent expansion of the horizons of scientific research of tax policy in the context of the coronavirus crisis will contribute to a successful exit from it and strengthen economic security.
