Public participation in Governance of E-waste recycling: A tripartite evolutionary game analysis

The surge in informal E-waste recycling has led to significant resource wastage and environmental hazards. The current government-centered governance system faces substantial obstacles to effective implementation due to information gaps and operational challenges. This study adopts the concept of social governance by incorporating public participation into the traditional government-led e-waste recycling system. Utilizing the bounded rationality of evolutionary game theory, this research constructs a tripartite game model involving the government, recyclers, and the public. It analyzes the behavioral strategy choices of each participant and the mechanisms of mutual influence under different scenarios. The main findings are: (1) Solely relying on public power is insufficient for effectively governing informal recyclers. (2) Reasonable and moderate incentives can promote public participation, serving as an effective supplementary tool for government regulation. (3) Increasing public exposure to the informal dismantling behaviors of recyclers is crucial for enhancing governance effectiveness. Specific measures can include establishing complaint departments for related incidents and creating media channels. These findings underscore the importance of integrating public participation into e-waste governance to address the limitations of a purely government-centered approach.

Evolution of COVID-19 Impact on Russian Stock Market: Panic Effect

Over the past few years, many research papers have referred to stock market volatility in relation to investor attention and sentiment and our article adds to the current literature on financial market reactions to the economic consequences of COVID-19. An event such as an outbreak of an infectious disease causes a negative change in investor sentiment, which strongly influences their investment decisions and, consequently, stock market prices. The subject of the study is the mutual influence of stock market characteristics and market sentiment, during a COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The purpose of the study is to provide empirical support for the hypothesis of indirect impact of uncertainty and panic under the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics of the stock market in Russia. The World Health Organization and experts forecast that the world will face more than one crisis related to the spread of infectious diseases in the future, so understanding the mechanisms of mutual influence of sentiment and financial markets remains relevant. In this study, we take a novel approach to deriving an indicator for panic that has not been used before. We perform econometric modeling using a Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) and a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), which allows us to describe in the model not only the long-term equilibrium but also the dynamics towards it. As a result, we got consistent and efficient estimates of the long-term and short-term effects of panic and mortality rates on the volatility of the RTS stock index and found that the market reaction to COVID-19 changed as the pandemic spread: the effects of uncertainty and panic, while having a significant impact at the beginning of the crisis, faded away. The conclusions obtained in the analysis of the Russian stock market dynamics coincide with those obtained by other authors in their analysis of markets in other countries over a similar period.

Postural balance in the comprehensive rehabilitation of adolescents with cleft lip and palate and maxillofacial anomalies: A literature review

BACKGROUND: Patients with cleft lip and palate experience significant jaw relationship disorders and pathological bite formation, leading to changes in the motor activity of chewing muscles and postural balance disturbances. Most studies on postural control are conducted on patients with skeletal dentofacial anomalies and deformities without cleft lip and palate. The state of postural balance in children with cleft lip and palate requiring long-term complex medical rehabilitation, including bone-reconstructive operations on the jaw bones, remains poorly understood.
 AIM: To analyze publications dedicated to the evaluation of postural balance in adolescents with cleft lip and palate combined with jaw relationship disorders and pathological bite formation.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article includes an analysis and review of several studies that investigated the state of postural balance in adolescents with cleft lip and palate, particularly at the final stages of growth and formation of the musculoskeletal system. Scientific articles published in various medical journals, monographs, dissertations, and materials from scientific symposiums related to this topic were used in the literature review. PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and RSCI were searched without language restrictions. The search depth was 23 years, and 64 studies were selected.
 RESULTS: The article analyzes literature data related to theories of the mechanism of mutual influence between postural balance and the dentofacial apparatus (disorders and pathological bite formation). The state of postural balance is influenced by various factors, including the craniosacral system and anomalies of the cervical spine. Patients with cleft lip and palate, hemifacial microsomia, and other craniofacial dysostoses with growth disorders of jaw bones experience an imbalance in the entire “descending” chain, causing postural disturbances, increased plantar pressure, increased foot rigidity, and changes in photogrammetry indicators, which should be considered when developing an individual rehabilitation program for these patients. The treatment of these patients without considering postural balance disorders can lead to temporomandibular joint pathologies, unstable results of the conservative orthodontic treatment of bite pathologies, and bone-reconstructive operations on jaws.
 CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the ways of adaptation of the musculoskeletal system in the presence of occlusal relationship disorders and emphasizes the need to evaluate this influence comprehensively for the treatment of these patients. The limitations of the presented studies should be emphasized: insufficient sample size, lack of control groups and prospective studies, limited types of examination, and lack of studies dedicated to more severe anomalies of craniofacial development.

Theoretical Review and Analysis of Economic Growth and Residents􀆳 Health

Economic growth is an important foundation for the improvement of people's health, and the improvement of people's health is a prerequisite for social and economic growth, which are interconnected and influence each other. This paper analyzes the mechanism of mutual influence between economic growth and people's health on the basis of literature combing. The study shows that the relationship between residents’s health and economic growth presents different results depending on the selection of indicators, the study area and the characteristics of the study group. For regions or countries with a low level of economic development, economic growth has a positive effect on residents'health, but there is a marginal diminishing effect, while for regions or developing countries with a high level of economic development, economic growth has a negative effect on residents'health. There are multiple mechanisms of interaction between residents' health and economic growth. Health affects socio-economics through life expectancy, mortality rate and productivity; economic development also affects residents' health through unemployment rate, health inputs, environmental pollution and nutritional intake. A variety of economic and health-related issues are derived from the process of social development, including population aging, increasing pension burdens, industrial pollution and chronic diseases, which have an impact on the relationship between the economy and health.

Ablation and mechanical behaviour of C/C composites under an oxyacetylene flame and tensile loading environment

Carbon/carbon (C/C) composites impress with their excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. In this paper, in order to simulate the complex service conditions of aerocraft thermal protection systems, an experimental platform for simultaneous ablation and tension was designed. The mechanical and ablation properties of the C/C composites were tested under an oxyacetylene flame at heat flux of 2185 kW/m2. Meanwhile, the mechanism of mutual influence of ablation and tensile loading was revealed by microstructural characterisation. By comparing the tension-only and ablation-only conditions, the results show that the strength of the C/C composites under ablation conditions decreased by 52.0%, which was associated with the crack propagation and porosity increase caused by flame. The tensile loading increased the linear and mass ablation rates by 21.8% and 82.9%, respectively, which was due to the interfacial damage caused by tensile stresses provides more channels for flame to enter the material interior, thus accelerating oxidative ablation.

Research on the influence mechanism of fluid control valve on the production of segmented horizontal wells and the balanced gas production control model: A case analysis of Sichuan basin natural gas

The existing research on the multiple fluid control valves to control the balanced exploitation of natural gas in horizontal wells lacks theoretical model support. On this basis, this paper established a flow rate and pressure model of the segmented horizontal well based on the fluid control valve. The model considers the throttling performance, installation position and opening adjustment step size of the fluid control valve for the first time. Next, systematically analyzed the mechanism of mutual influence of the opening and the position on the flow rate and pressure based on multiple fluid control valves. In addition, a novel method of using the dichotomy model to adjust the production of different production segments was proposed to analyze the horizontal wells of 15 production segments in Sichuan. It was found that when the opening adjustment step size is less than 5%, the natural gas production shows irregular changes, which makes it hard to effectively control the production of each segment. When the step size is 5%, the maximum production variation is 2.7%, which will have a more significant and meaningful effect on the exploitation of natural gas. Through seven iterations, the maximum production errors of high and low production segments are 1.3 % and 1.1 % respectively, both less than 2.7%. The research results verified the correctness of the theoretical model of segmented horizontal wells based on multiple fluid control valves. This research provided a theoretical basis for the opening control of multiple fluid control valves based on different production segments of horizontal wells.

Analysis of the psychosocial component continuum of psychological adaptation-disadaptation in patients with a dermatological profile with different levels of vital threat

Purpose: to investigate the state of psychosocial functioning as a component of the continuum of psychological adaptation - maladaptation in patients with a dermatological profile with diseases of various levels of vital threat, to develop, in the future, personalized psychocorrection programs for this category of patients. Contingent and research methods. On the basis of informed consent, in compliance with the principles of biomedical ethics and deontology, we examined 120 dermatological patients who were treated in three branches of the clinic “Dr. Zapolska Clinic” during 2020-2021, namely: 60 patients with non-vital dermatological diseases (seborrheic keratosis L82, condylomas A63.0, angiomas D18.0, pigmentation disorders L80), and 60 patients with dermatological diseases posing a vital threat (melanoma C43, basal cell carcinoma C44, skin carcinoma D04). The results. Both by integral indicators and by separate characteristics of socio-psychological adaptation/maladaptation, we found a general trend of the primary importance of the lack of adaptive resources and the secondary – nosospecificity features of dermatological pathology, in the formation of states of psychological maladaptation, which is manifested both in the clinical and psychological plane, and in the field of psychosocial functioning. These data are also consistent with the results of the study of the quality of life (QoL) of the examinees: the general trend of association between the level of QoL and the presence of signs of psychological maladjustment (PMA) was confirmed both for the integral criteria for the assessment of QoL and for 8 out of 10 evaluation parameters of QoL (levels of physical well-being and work capacity turned out to be nosospecificity, in contrast to all other parameters). The study confirmed our assumptions regarding the absence of a direct relationship between nosospecificity and vitality of a dermatological disease and the state of psychosocial functioning of an individual, especially in the context of adaptability and its resource base. The obtained results regarding the fact that dermatological patients without clinical signs of psychological maladjustment, regardless of the nosological affiliation of the main disease, have a sufficient resource of adaptability and use it in the field of social-psychological interaction, are predictable for us, but such that required scientific justification and proof. The issues of primary/secondary states of the resource base and adaptability at the clinical-psychological and psychosocial levels require further study. We assume that we are talking about the mechanisms of mutual influence of biological predisposition and psychological and psychosocial factors, the mosaic combination of which determines the resource capabilities of the individual regarding the constructive acceptance of the fact of the presence of a dermatological disease and the development of an adequate strategy for its mastery, regardless of the degree of vitality of the disease. Conclusion. The identified regularities should be considered when developing treatment-rehabilitation and psycho-prophylactic measures in patients with dermatological pathology with different levels of vital threat.

Macrophage population state and proliferative activity of spleen cells under liver regeneration conditions

Relevance. Currently, the participation of immune system cells in the regulation of reparative processes is attracting more and more attention of researchers. There is an anatomical connection between the liver and spleen by means of portal vein. Thus, cytokines and other biologically active substances can enter the liver from the spleen through the portal vein, as well as cells can migrate to the liver. However, the specific mechanisms of mutual influence of the mentioned organs, including in reparative processes, remain poorly studied. The aim of our work was to study the state of spleen monocyte-macrophage population after liver resection, as well as the proliferative activity of spleen cells during liver regeneration . Materials and Methods . The model of liver regeneration after 70 % resection in mouse was reproduced in this work. The animals were taken out of the experiment after 1, 3 and 7 days. The marker of cell proliferation Ki67 was immunohistochemically detected, the state of spleen monocyte-macrophage population was evaluated by markers CD68, CD115, CD206, F4/80 by methods of immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. Results and Discussion . The liver regeneration had a pronounced effect on the cytoarchitectonics of the spleen. In 1 day after liver resection in the spleen there was observed a decrease in the share of Ki67+cells, according to the flow cytometry data there was a decrease in the number of CD115+cells, in 3 and 7 days there was a decrease in the number of F4/80+ macrophages. Conclusion . Liver resection causes changes in the state of cell populations of the spleen as well. First of all, to the decrease in the activity of proliferative processes in it, as well as to the changes in the state of the monocyte-macrophage system. A decrease in the content of CD115+ and F4/80+ cells in the spleen was found, which indirectly indicates the migration of monocytes/macrophages after liver resection, which can also influence the course of reparative processes in the liver.

How the Material Characteristics of Optical Fibers and Soil Influence the Measurement Results of Distributed Acoustic Sensing.

Fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology is widely used in security surveillance and geophysical survey applications. The response of the DAS system to external vibrations varies with different types of fiber optic cable connections. The mechanism of mutual influence between the cable's characteristics and DAS measurement results remains unclear. This study proposed a dynamic model of the interaction between the optical cable and the soil, analyzed the impact of the dynamic parameters of the optical cable and soil on the sensitivity of the DAS system, and validated the theoretical analysis through experiments. The findings suggest that augmenting the cable's bending stiffness 5.5-fold and increasing its unit mass 4.2-fold result in a discernible reduction of the system's response to roughly 0.15 times of its initial magnitude. Cables with lower unit mass and bending stiffness are more sensitive to vibration signals. This research provides a foundation for optimizing vibration-enhanced fiber optic cables and broadening the potential usage scenarios for DAS systems.

Welding process optimization for blast furnace shell by numerical simulation and experimental study

At cold temperatures, the stress after welding a blast furnace shell is not completely released because of the fast cooling speed, which results in cracks. To solve this problem, an integrated method combining gray relational analysis, back propagation (BP) neural network, and genetic algorithm-BP (GA-BP) was proposed in this study. Its aim was to analyze the dominant mechanism of residual stress in multi-layer and multi-pass welding process under the heating of ceramic sheet and achieve super-objective collaborative optimization of residual stress. GRA indicated that through the correlation analysis of welding parameters, residual stress, maximum temperature of characteristic point, and deformation, welding speed was determined to be an all-important factor affecting welding quality. A BP prediction model of residual stress was established. The predicted value was in good agreement with the experimental value, and the maximum error was 8.75%. The influence of each factor on the quality of welding seam is not a single, but a complex mechanism of mutual influence. GA-BP determined the combination of low level welding speed 28 mm/min, medium level welding current 210A and medium and low level welding voltage 21V as the optimal solution of low residual stress. The maximum prediction error of residual stress was 13.76%. The experimental results show that the maximum prediction error of residual stress is 4.4%, and the optimized weld has better macro and micro structure, which proves the feasibility of the multi-objective optimization method. Most importantly, the proposed method can effectively identify the optimal welding parameters, which can provide a reliable theoretical basis for engineering practice.

World War II in John Ford’s films

John Fords films show how the cultural context of the Pacific War and the image of the war in combat films of 19411945 change. By the time the USA entered the World War II, Hollywood and Washington had a long if not estranged relationship. They were both well versed in the use of propaganda and had readily employed it on the citizens of the United States. J. Fords films are a good example of this cooperation. This paper is about a reflection of the image of the Pacific war, and about the key moments of glorification of the World War II history in the USA cinema and media. The paper analyzes the connection between the images of the war in the film December 7 with the images of the war in newspapers, cartoons, politicians speeches this will help to study the problem of visualizing the war in a wide socio-cultural context rather than in isolation. The nature and mechanisms of mutual influence of these images of the war have been determined: for example, how the materials of periodicals influenced the film; how the speeches of American politicians were refracted and reflected in Fords film; how the visual images of cartoons influenced the directors work.

Creating social value by empowering people: a social innovation perspective

AbstractInitiatives across the private, public, and third sectors have increasingly pursued social value beyond mere profit. However, how social value can be created still requires a more detailed investigation. This paper provides conceptual and empirical arguments on how initiatives of social innovation, which intentionally seek to empower people, contribute to generate social value. We investigate three European social innovation cases—which are collective entrepreneurial initiatives. Using mixed methods applied to primary nested data, we first find evidence for empowering effects and then identify a typical process through which empowerment occurs. Our results suggest that social innovations catalyze empowerment through a horizontal and co‐creational organizational design, providing space for individuals to propose their goals and establishing mechanisms of mutual influence that transform individual autonomy into coactive power. This process kicks off social value creation, yet its reach within society depends on how much empowerment diffuses beyond the participants in the initiative.

Анализ кардиоваскулярных и кардиометаболических рисков при ассоциации бронхиальной астмы и ожирения

Bronchial asthma and obesity are showing a steady increase in incidence worldwide, incurring significant economic losses for society. There is no doubt about the pathogenetic role of obesity in the development of cardiovascular events. The purpose is to analyze the current data that demonstrate the impact of asthma and obesity association on the increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The critical role of obesity is noted as a risk factor for the development and progression of both bronchial asthma and cardiovascular diseases. The review emphasizes importance of determining cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risks according to generally accepted scales specified in clinical guidelines. As part of the review, the combination of bronchial asthma and cardiovascular diseases was analyzed, and their etiopathogenetic interdependence was noted. The role of metabolic processes in adipose tissue is shown, which can increase both inflammation in bronchial asthma and lead to the progression of cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the mechanisms of mutual influence will allow for personalized treatment, as well as the prevention of cardiovascular accidents in patients with bronchial asthma and obesity.

Justice and lawmaking: Social-philosophical aspect

The article presents an overview of the event organized by the Higher School of Economics (NRU HSE) on December 1, 2021 - a round table “Justice and Lawmaking” as a part of the subproject “Ethics and Law: Mechanisms of Mutual Influence” of the “Applied Ethics” project with the participation of representatives of Russian universities. The article presents the main ideas of the participants of different specialties - lawyers, political scientists, philosophers and international affairs. They considered various aspects and a wide range of issues: diagnostics of social justice in Russia, the need for a deontology of justice and its risks, justice as an ‘institutional trap’ on the example of Soviet and Russian public law institutions, ideas of distributism as a theory of social welfare, historical-philosophical analysis of ideas and political arguments on the essence and effectiveness of elitism and parliamentarism, philosophical analysis of the concept ‘social justice’ in the philosophy of language, formal semantics, formal pragmatics, etc. The participants discussed the results of a number of applied research related to the issues of the round table, for example, the project on the automated methods for assessing ethics, which is carried out in the Higher School of Economics. As a result, the participants of the round table stated that social justice should be the social-political ideal for the further development of contemporary Russia.

Idea of justice as a social trap for Russia

This article is a result of its authors’ participation in the round table “Justice and Lawmaking” of the subproject “Ethics and Law: Mechanisms of Mutual Influence” of the HSE project “Applied Ethics” in the State Duma on December 1, 2021. The article considers social issues associated with the justice institutions, which are conditionally named institutional traps (an economic term). The authors focus on how these ‘traps’ work in contemporary Russia and how it is possible to get out of them. The article presents the contemporary discourse on social justice, which is characterized by a variety of concepts and a wide thematic field, and provides a definition of the institutional trap modified for the article’s tasks - a combination of social institutions, which being implemented leads to the results radically different or even opposite to the expected when designing such institutions. The authors argue that a trap is a result of the institution or a combination of institutions created to ensure justice of a certain kind or in accordance with a certain idea, when such an institution or combination leads to both justice (or other comparable public good) and clear injustice. This is a trap for society, because its expectations are deceived, and for the state, because it gets new social problems to be solved. The authors believe that what makes institutions an institutional trap is not only the fact that they do not cope with their tasks, but also do not meet social expectations determined by the system of previous values or inherited from it. The authors conclude that institutional solutions (creation of new institutions, modernization of existing ones) do not guarantee the desired result; we need a single educational program for promoting justice and mercy (taking into account cultural differences), which would explain their fundamental importance for society and its every member.

Differentiation of East and West traditional cultures: determinants & parallels

The object of the research is the differentiation of traditional Orient and Western cultures. The aim is to explicate the determinants of its fundamental differences. The article is devoted to solving such a problem as identifying the parallelism of Eastern/Western differences in such different areas as moral consciousness, the type of philosophizing, religious, language systems (grammatical constructions, in particular), etc. The result obtained is the holistic model of differentiation of traditional cultures, which allows a deeper understanding of their specificity, mechanisms of mutual influence, as well as modeling the ways of their modern interaction, taking into account the autochthonous features of both.

ТРИУМФ И ТРАГЕДИЯ: СОБЫТИЯ ПЕРВОЙ МИРОВОЙ ВОЙНЫ В ИДЕОЛОГИИ УЧАСТНИКОВ ОЛЬСТЕРСКОГО КОНФЛИКТА (1969-1998 гг.)

The paper covers the specifics of the interpretation of the World War I events by radical unionist and republican groups during the Troubles in 1969-1998. The main sources are urban physical memorials in Northern Ireland. The author identifies the origins of the motives for the glorification of the figures of the World War I participants, in particular, the Battle of the Somme, and the Easter Rising. The mechanism of mutual influence of historical memory, narratives associated with collective trauma or collective triumph, and mythology constructed by radical groups to broadcast their own ideology is described. The author concludes that events of the past which have a special symbolic meaning for the identity of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, are interpreted within the framework of radical Unionist and Republican ideology, and act as tools for legitimizing violence, mobilizing the population and preserving social polarization.

The Phenomenological Method in the Ethics and Legal Philosophy of the XX Century

This paper analyzes the essence of the phenomenological method as it is used in certain theories in ethics and legal philosophy. The purpose of the paper is to provide a full study of phenomenology to determine its place in modern philosophical thought. The paper used methods of the history of philosophy, especially method of rational reconstruction, and based on interpretation of the classical phenomenological texts (E. Husserl, E. Levinas, A. Reinach). The main result of the paper is the justification that the unity of logic, ontology and ethics became the ground of application of the phenomenological method in the field of legal and ethical knowledge. Therefore the ideas of E. Levinas’s ethical phenomenology were the basis for understanding ethics as the “first philosophy” in a phenomenological context. The main conclusion of this paper is that the ethical dimension of responsibility for the actions of the subject and their consequences expands the horizons of phenomenological reduction and allows us to reveal the essence of legal reality in a new way. The paper was carried out within the framework of the HSE research project “Ethics and Law: correlation and mechanisms of mutual influence”.
