THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY: MAIN DIRECTIONS, PROBLEMS AND SOME LESSONS OF WESTERN SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE

Despite the heroic resistance of Ukrainians, in particular the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during the current Russian-Ukrainian war, without effective assistance, especially military, from the Western democratic world, Ukraine would hardly have withstood the Russian aggressor's more than two-year-long large-scale armed invasion and would have been able to preserve national statehood and the Ukrainian nation from genocide and destruction in the event of a protracted war of attrition. For such a war, Ukraine will need at least $150 billion a year, which can only be provided by its Western partners. And the World Bank estimates that over the next 10 years, about $500 billion will be needed to rebuild Ukraine's war-torn infrastructure, which is more than Ukraine's GDP, so without investment and financial assistance from our partners, we will not be able to find these resources in the country either. The purpose of the article is to systematise the huge amount of information available in accessible/open sources about the central, fateful event of modern international relations - Russia's war against Ukraine and the international community's attitude to it, in particular, to highlight the main directions, problems and some preliminary lessons of Western support for Ukraine in its resistance to Russian aggression, which can already be outlined in the third year of the large-scale war. Russia's unprovoked and brutal large-scale armed attack on Ukraine in February 2022 left no choice but to recognise this aggression as an attack on European and Euro-Atlantic democratic values and the fundamental principles on which the United Nations is built. This was a manifestation of the next stage of Russia's global hybrid war against the West. Unprecedented international support for Ukraine and powerful pressure on the aggressor country - Russia - is manifested in active political, financial, military, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine from EU and NATO member states and other countries. In total, more than 50 countries provide such assistance to Ukraine during the war. However, our Western partners do not yet have a common strategic plan for the Russian-Ukrainian war and its victorious conclusion, and in the third year of the war, they are increasingly talking about different options for peace talks with the aggressor, so Ukraine must develop its own grand strategy, which should be based on the fact that war and peace coexist and that Russia poses a long-term threat to it and the entire democratic world.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE TEST METHODOLOGY OF AIRCRAFT VIDEO RECORDING EQUIPMENT UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF A SPECIAL PERIOD

The introduction of weapons and military equipment at the stage of Russia's armed aggression requires the rational use of human resources, standard means of measurement, registration and indication as part of measurement systems and further processing of the results obtained in automated systems for collecting and processing information for its use during tests of serial (modernized) samples of OVT. The rapid development of technical means of measurement, transformation and exchange of data within and between systems require the improvement of test methods for video recording of aircraft, which take into account the peculiarities of the development of electronic equipment of aviation equipment and are based on a unified approach to the problem of optimal use of resources. Modern means of video registration have quite justifiably been widely used in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The research was conducted using the methods of the theory of system analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalization. The purpose of the article is to develop a typical methodology for testing aircraft video recording equipment in the conditions of a special period. To achieve the goal, the following was done: to analyze the existing methods of testing domestic and foreign aircraft video registration means; to consider an improved model of functioning and the technology of conducting tests of means of video registration of aircraft with a reduction in volume; to develop a typical methodology for conducting tests of aircraft video registration devices in the conditions of a special period. The results of the analysis should be taken into account when justifying ways to reduce the amount of tests in the conditions of a special

Инновационная среда России на современном этапе развития экономики

Modern leadership of economies is ensured by the trend of innovative development. Innovation-oriented economic growth is the number one issue for developed countries. The new stage of Russia's technological development, achievement of technological sovereignty requires new actions. An important condition for the implementation of in-novation activity is the innovation environment. Effective development of innovation environment favors innovative development. This article analyzes the external conditions and internal environment defined as the innovation environment. The article analyzes the current state of Russia's innovation environment on the basis of international inno-vation indices and ratings affecting various aspects of countries, participants, statistical surveys of innovation process-es in the Russian economy. The peculiarities of Russia's innovative development in the scientific and production, insti-tutional environment, the totality of resources, the characteristics of internal capabilities have been revealed. It is estab-lished that the positions of intellectual, material and infrastructural factors, the degree of impact of the results of inno-vation activity on the economy and society are low. Indicators demonstrate insufficient efficiency of resource utiliza-tion, the results of scientific and technological innovation activity. The efficiency of innovation activity of economies depends on the state scientific, technological and innovation policy that provides incentive priority development of various industries, institutional conditions that ensure technological leadership, research and development work for enterprises that create innovative products. Thus, it is necessary to increase the level of innovation activity of economic entities, to increase the amount of funding for research and development, the implementation of measures contributing to the innovative development of the Russian Federation.

ARCTIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP: LEGAL ASPECTS

The article considers the issues of legal regulation of economic activities in the Arctic zone of Russia. The main areas of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Arctic for the development of entrepreneurial activity were studied. An analysis of a special subject of entrepreneurial activity in the Arctic zone of Russia, which receives the status of a resident, is given. Arctic economic activity has been identified at the current stage in Russia as an independent institution of entrepreneurial law, which in the future research will give a big impetus to development in terms of the adoption of regulatory legal acts. Based on the analysis of legal acts, the state, as a guarantor of the development of economic relations, is obliged to subsidize with cash the main types of small and medium-sized entrepreneurial activities in the Arctic zone of Russia, and on the other hand, large commercial companies must reimburse the costs for manufacturers of local products. It was proposed to develop electronic trade on the territory of Russia, accordingly, there is a need to connect all Arctic entities to high-speed Internet. It was concluded that for the legal regulation of complex relations, the Arctic Code of Russia should be adopted.

Funding of geological exploration during transformation of the Russian economic system

Background. The mineral resource base is a strategic component of Russia’s economic security, being a critically important tool for strengthening the country’s position in the international arena. At the same time, economic shocks and geopolitical tensions negatively affect the investment attractiveness of geological exploration projects, which are highly important for the continuous reproduction of the country’s mineral resource base.Aim. Consideration of funding possibilities for geological exploration activities in Russia.Objectives. 1) To analyze the structure and state of geological exploration funding in Russia over the past five years; 2) to study the prospects and possibilities of attracting investments for different geological exploration stages in Russia; 3) to offer new methods and tools for optimizing the funding of geological exploration activities under the conditions of transformation of the Russian economic system.Materials and methods. The research materials included domestic and foreign scientific publications; reports and publications of the Federation Council Committee on Agriculture and Food Policy and Environmental Management of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation, the Federal Subsoil Resources Management Agency; the results of the “Geology, Revival of a Legend” initiative; McKinsey and OECD Global Forum on International Investment analytical materials. The materials were analyzed using a set of general and specialized scientific methods. Among them are statistical modeling and forecasting to assess the state and prospects of geological exploration funding in Russia; comparative analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction to study international experience in attracting alternative investments for geological research.Results. Proposals concerning the possibility of attracting additional funding at various stages of geological exploration through the creation of direct investment trust funds are formulated. Attention is also paid to such methods as streaming and acquisition of a fixed interest rate from production in exchange for an advance payment, which can be applied at later stages of exploration.Conclusion. New approaches and best international practices should be used to attract funding for various stages of geological exploration activities in Russia. This will make it possible to attract non-governmental resources, diversify methods of financial support, as well as to increase the investment attractiveness of geological exploration projects.

The national consensus formation at the first stage of Russia’s Special military operation against Ukraine (February–August 2022)

The article begins with a definition of some contesting views about the reality of Russian support for the “Special military operation” (SMO), hypotheses, and research approach. Then we present the substantive arguments about the attitude of Russian residents to the SMO and the reliability of public opinion polls results. After this we provide suggestive analyzes of three key understandings of the “West” in Russian public opinion. The article ends with arguing that a national consensus in Russia on the necessity and legitimacy of the SMO has really been achieved. The polarization of opinions is increasing but it is not reflected in the public sphere because of the fears that this could cause negative uncontrolled consequences for the economic situation, social and political stability in the country. As for Anti-Western sentiments, they depended and continue to depend on two groups of factors: foreign policy ones, which provoked the strengthening of these sentiments, and internal ones, which contributed to their weakening.

Interest rates and inflation at the present stage in Russia

The subject of the study is the processes of interaction between interest rates and inflation in the domestic economy, contributing to changes in the quality of life of the population, business activity and the volume of investments of organizations. the purpose of the work is to establish a mechanism for increasing the efficiency of the interest rate and stabilizing inflation in the conditions of turbulence of the Russian economy. the study summarizes the processes of the relationship between the key rate of the Bank of Russia, bank interest rates and inflation; the reasons for the price increase have been identified, the current trends in the consumer price index, the dynamics of prices in the markets of goods and services, changes in the cost of housing have been identified, and the conditions for increasing the effectiveness of the interest rate in Russia have been established. Through a systematic and comprehensive analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of inflation targeting as a tool for stabilizing monetary relations under conditions of uncertainty in Russia are identified; the dependence of the growth of the consumer price index (inflation rate) on average annual interest rates is revealed. the conclusions are made that the strengthening of the role of the mega-regulator for regulating the interest rate and the inflation rate makes it possible to determine clear guidelines and quickly adapt to new macroeconomic conditions. the proposals to increase the efficiency of the interest rate and stabilize inflation within the framework of the implementation of a soft monetary policy are substantiated.

The State of the Russian Bank Insurance Market

Banсassurance has recently appeared on the market but is developing rapidly. The subject of the study is the process of combining banks and insurance companies, which contributes to the emergence of new products, increased risk protection, improved customer service quality, and increased profitability of their business. The purpose of the research is to study the state of bancassurance at the present stage in Russia and to set goals to overcome the difficulties of developing a joint business of banks and insurance companies. The author uses the following methods: comparative, statistical, and factor analysis, identification of trends, graphical comparisons, etc. Theoretical analysis of research on this issue allowed the author to clarify the concept of “bancassurance” and group the motives of interaction and the advantages of cooperation between banks and insurance companies. The result of the practical analysis was the identification of current trends in bancassurance in the country: a decrease in the number of participants; the predominance of large institutions in the bancassurance market, concentrating a large share of assets; imposing additional services on customers, which as a result increases their debt burden. The systematic and integrated approaches of the research allowed the author to identify important problems that require a primary solution (the imposition of bancassurance products and their inflated price, high costs for the sale of products, and the presence of contradictions between the bank and the insurance company). The author concludes that systematic and complete informing to the population about the importance of bancassurance products, providing customers with their independent choice, as well as the introduction of joint business standards of banks and insurance companies using modern digital technologies will bring the Russian bancassurance market to a higher level of development. The prospect of further study of the subject is presented by the author in a more detailed study of minimizing factors that negatively affect the merger of banking and insurance businesses.

The Fakes of Sexual Narrative in the Information Warfare

The proposed article is based on the report presented at the conference “The Days of Science at NaUKMA” on January 26, 2022, just one month before the Russian invasion. Back then it seemed impossible. The active phase of the previous military confrontation ended in 2015 and it transformed into a positional and hybrid warfare. Since then, some representatives of Ukrainian scientific community, under the guise of “science without politics,” continued to cooperate with Russia, from publishing their research in Russian journals to holding joint conferences and more. The author of the article, despite the rejection, did not see this as an intention but rather a misunderstanding of the objective reality. Therefore, the purpose of the report was to prove that hybrid warfare is a covert but real war in the context of post-truth.Post-truth as a mode of meanings functioning is a shift of boundaries between the real and the imaginary; it does not equal lie but rather is negligence, indifference to the truth, which entails uncertainty of positions and substitutions of concepts. Fake, on the other hand, is a specific form of misinformation which has accompanied hybrid warfare. However, on February 24, 2022, the war took the form of an open escalation, the planning of which was denied by Russia in accordance with the genre of hybrid warfare with its cortege of fakes.The choice of the topic focused on the sexual narrative is relevant, in particular due to the public joke of Russian President Putin towards Ukrainian President Zelensky at a press conference in Moscow on February 8, 2022, directly related to rape, which became widely known in the media. As it turned out later, it was not a joke but a certain affirmation, an intention of thinking, which turned into mass rapes of Ukrainian women and children by Russian soldiers in the new stage of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

К вопросу о современном состоянии медико-демографической ситуации в России

At the present stage in Russia, the main strategic initiatives aimed at improving medical and demographic processes are set out in a number of regulatory documents presented in the form of national projects, concepts, strategies and other federal projects, while special attention is required to study and monitor these indicators of public health of the population. Purpose of the study is analysis of the medical and demographic situation in Russia and in individual subjects in recent years, making proposals to improve the processes of fertility and mortality, migration growth. Materials and methods. Scientific publications, official statistical data and analytical materials of Rosstat, data from the statistical collection of the SFO were used as research materials. Statistical data processing was carried out using SPSS, Excel‑2007 packages. The main research methods were: the study and generalization of experience, information-analytical, statistical, bibliographic. Results. The analysis of the dynamics of indicators of the demographic situation in the Russian Federation determined a low degree of compliance with the priorities of the state policy; there was a negative dynamics and a discrepancy between the actual value of the planned target indicators, therefore, in order to eliminate the existing problems, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of individual territories when setting and formulating strategic directions and initiatives on this problem. Findings. The results of the study indicate the need for constant monitoring of the main demographic indicators, considering certain directions and the course of the state policy pursued in this direction.

Hidden in plain sight: migration routes of the elusive Anadyr bar‐tailed godwit revealed by satellite tracking

Satellite and GPS tracking technology continues to reveal new migration patterns of birds which enables comparative studies of migration strategies and distributional information useful in conservation. Bar‐tailed godwits in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Limosa lapponica baueri and L. l. menzbieri are known for their long non‐stop flights, however these populations are in steep decline. A third subspecies in this flyway, L. l. anadyrensis, breeds in the Anadyr River basin, Chukotka, Russia, and is morphologically distinct from menzbieri and baueri based on comparison of museum specimens collected from breeding areas. However, the non‐breeding distribution, migration route and population size of anadyrensis are entirely unknown. Among 24 female bar‐tailed godwits tracked in 2015–2018 from northwest Australia, the main non‐breeding area for menzbieri, two birds migrated further east than the rest to breed in the Anadyr River basin, i.e. they belonged to the anadyrensis subspecies. During pre‐breeding migration, all birds staged in the Yellow Sea and then flew to the breeding grounds in the eastern Russian Arctic. After breeding, these two birds migrated southwestward to stage in Russia on the Kamchatka Peninsula and on Sakhalin Island en route to the Yellow Sea. This contrasts with the other 22 tracked godwits that followed the previously described route of menzbieri, i.e. they all migrated northwards to stage in the New Siberian Islands before turning south towards the Yellow Sea, and onwards to northwest Australia. Since the Kamchatka Peninsula was not used by any of the tracked menzbieri birds, the 4500 godwits counted in the Khairusova–Belogolovaya estuary in western Kamchatka may well be anadyrensis. Comparing migration patterns across the three bar‐tailed godwits subspecies, the migration strategy of anadyrensis lies between that of menzbieri and baueri. Future investigations combining migration tracks with genomic data could reveal how differences in migration routines are evolved and maintained.

Актуальные проблемы кадровой политики и кадрового аудита на государственной гражданской службе

At the present stage in Russia, in the course of socio-economic and political transformations, there is a tendency for strategic, comprehensive and comprehensive development of the personnel policy of the civil service. In the conditions of external economic instability, the determining factors of the success of the implementation by the state of the priority directions of the state policy of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society and democratic institutions are flexibility, adaptability, and the stability of the personnel of public authorities. In this light, the personnel policy appears as a mechanism for the formation of the composition of highly qualified state civil servants. The effectiveness of the functioning of the state administrative apparatus in particular and the state as a whole depends on the latter. This is why a large number of studies have been devoted to this problem, the authors of which are trying to consider the theoretical and methodological basis of personnel policy as deeply as possible. A special role in the effectiveness of the functioning of personnel policy is played by personnel audit in the civil service. It is a comprehensive system for assessing the personnel potential of a state body, as well as a system for working with personnel. Despite the fairly well-developed regulatory and theoretical bases, there are certain flaws in the personnel policy in general, and in the personnel audit in particular. The article analyzes scientific data, considers the main problems of personnel policy and personnel audit, and also provides recommendations for their elimination.

New Stage in Russia’s Nuclear Energy Strategy

This article discusses a technological platform of nuclear energy for implementing the proposed Atomic Project 2.0 which is focused on the country’s objectives in sustainable development, including the development of advanced innovative technologies and materials, and producing examples of new equipment. The basis of modern nuclear power in Russia and the world is water-cooled pressurized reactors with capacity 1000 MW or more, and there are no objective prerequisites for changing this paradigm in the foreseeable future. In this connection, VVER technology remains the most important tool for achieving the strategic goals of our country in the field of nuclear energy. The existing strategic plans relegate extensive adoption of fast reactors and NFC closure based on them to the 2030s, which can be viewed as the customary maximalism in the face of the current moderate notions concerning growing demand for nuclear generation. The prospects for the introduction of small and medium-sized nuclear power plants, taking into account the forecasted demand for electricity and the territorial distribution of generation in Russia, as well as the opportunities for foreign business, promise a new quality of nuclear energy production and a fundamentally different niche in the energy basket. Perhaps the strongest indication of the current stage of progress in nuclear energy is a resurgence of expansion into new areas of energy consumption. It must be assumed that a version of the nuclear energy strategy worthy of presentation in Atomic Project 2.0 will incorporate development of directions of heat supply, hydrogen production, and seawater desalination by means of nuclear technologies for the home and international markets, as well as promising areas such as molten-salt nuclear technologies or hybrid systems.

РОЖДЕНИЕ НОВОЙ ЭПОХИ: ВЫЗОВЫ ДЛЯ РОССИИ И МИРА

Analyzing long-term trends and global transformations of technological and economic development, the author concludes that a significant renewal of economic relations and institutions is necessary, and proposes a strategy for moving towards a new state of society. Among the tasks associated with advancing to a new stage of Russia’s economic development are the formation of knowledge-­intensive production, the transformation of property relations, the solidarity of social strata. Among the means for solving these problems, the author highlights strategic planning and active industrial policy, the transformation of property relations aimed at the formation of new institutions of appropriation, disposal and use, the development of public health, education, culture, the formation of a system of relations that reduce inequality in access to development resources.

Фіскальна ефективність системи непрямого оподаткування в Україні

The increased riskiness of the fiscal space in Ukraine is a consequence of the generation of military-political and socio-economic challenges at the new stage of Russia's eight-year war against Ukraine. In wartime, there is the expediency of increased attention to determining the fiscal efficiency of the country's tax system in general and the indirect taxation system in particular. The article aims to assess the fiscal efficiency of indirect taxes in the years preceding the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of independent Ukraine. It will allow us to identify established trends, analyze the issues and develop directions for improving the indirect taxation system during the post-war recovery period. The research methodology is based on the use of generally accepted methods, in particular analytical, complex, statistical, economic-mathematical, dialectical approach, systematic and comparative analysis. Legislative and regulatory acts regulating tax activities in Ukraine, scientific publications and official statistical data served as an information base. The results: Taxes regulated by the Tax Code of Ukraine were classified according to the economic content of the object of taxation. The role of the indirect taxation system in the formation of budgetary resources of Ukraine and the EU member states was determined. Fiscal efficiency indicators of value-added tax, excise tax and customs duties were calculated. The need for more use of the fiscal potential of the indirect taxation system in Ukraine was substantiated. The key aspects of reducing the fiscal efficiency of consumption taxes have been identified. Directions for increasing the fiscal efficiency of the indirect taxation system in Ukraine were proposed.

On the issue of organizational problems of state fire supervision in connection with the entering into force of the federal law on state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation

Introduction. Due to the updating of the legislative framework, the possibility of introducing the so-called "seamless" interdepartmental processes in the field of fire control and supervision is considered. The paper shows how insufficiently well-regulated actions of departments can become a factor that reduces the efficiency of work in this area and hinders its development. The importance of Federal Law No. 248-FZ of July 31, 2020 "On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation" was noted. At the same time, significant difficulties of its practical application are recognized. With references to the sources, it is shown that, addressing this problem, scientists demonstrate either a global, enlarged approach, or, conversely, study particular cases within the borders of one region, in relation to a specific group of objects of fire control and supervision. The relevance of the presented work lies in the fact that the authors offer an adequate solution to universal organizational problems.
 Problem Statement. The starting point in solving the tasks of this scientific work is the study of the text of Federal Law No. 248-FZ of July 31, 2020 "On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation". From the point of view of law enforcement practice, the authors had to evaluate innovations in the activities of the state fire supervision bodies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, identify weaknesses if possible, make arguments in favor of organizational and, in particular, communication processes, identify ways to solve the problems.
 Theoretical Part. The new document is considered as an element of the evolutionary process of state policy in the field of monitoring the compliance with mandatory requirements, including in the field of fire safety. The main imbalances that can potentially reduce the efficiency of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Emergency Situations have been identified. Thus, the Regulation on Fire Safety provides for the collection, clarification and annual updating of accounting information about the objects of supervision. At the same time, only the names of procedures are given in the document. There is no scheme of actions that links the object of supervision with such features of the subject (official) as: knowledge, experience, workload, Internet skills, computer or digital technology, technical and organizational availability of information resources. According to the statistics, the urgent need for appropriate adequate solutions is dictated by objective reasons. Constructive and relatively easy-to-implement measures to overcome the identified imbalances are indicated.
 Conclusions. The results of scientific work presented in this article demonstrate the direction of further improvement of the professional activities of specialists in fire control and supervision, as well as the department as a whole. The results of the research suggest that at the present stage in Russia (and, in particular, in the Rostov region) the information base is sufficient to improve departmental processes. Two factors should be recognized as the main weaknesses of the system. This is clearly insufficient digitalization of departments and the lack of high-quality communications between departments of various levels and profiles.

Russian Foreign Policy: Three Historical Stages and Two Future Scenarios

Abstract There have been several stages in Russia’s foreign policy since 1991. From a naive and idealistic pro-Western course, to ‘getting up from its knees’, to asserting itself as an independent great power. Around 2018, this trajectory reached a plateau, with the potential for decline. Since then, Russia and the world began to face fresh challenges and an almost qualitatively different environment. Even before the start of the epidemic in 2020, it was clear that Russia required a new foreign policy, built on what had been achieved in previous decades, but geared towards the future. This would include a strong ideology, focus on internal growth and development, and the development a streamlined and more cost-effective approach to foreign policy to adjust to a more turbulent and chaotic external environment. Despite growing international chaos and unpredictability, two scenarios for Russian foreign policy are surfacing. An optimistic one in which Russia successfully adapts to these changing circumstances, and a less optimistic one where it continues its current course of internal development, failing to live up to its full potential, but nevertheless still retaining the ability to play an independent and significant role in world affairs.

Прокурорский надзор в сфере незаконной миграции: теория и практика

Purpose: the purpose of this article is to identify the key features of prosecutorial supervision in the field of illegal migration, which are attributed to this activity in theory, and also manifested in practice. Methods: presented by both general scientific and special methods. General scientific methods, in particular, include: analysis, synthesis, inductive-deductive method, etc. Among the special research methods, one can single out: the method of analyzing normative legal acts, the method of analyzing law enforcement practice, the method of system analysis, etc. Findings: based on the results of the analysis, the most conceptual tasks were formulated to improve the efficiency of prosecutorial supervision in the field of migration legal relations at the present stage in Russia. Conclusions: the presence of significant problems with the observance of the rule of law in the field of migration presupposes the adoption of additional measures, which should be aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the prosecutor’s supervision over the observance of the migration legislation of the Russian Federation. In particular, such measures can be: increasing the level of information, analytical and methodological support of activities carried out within the framework of this type of prosecutor’s supervision; as well as the expansion and deepening of cooperation between the prosecutor’s office and public associations that counter illegal migration.

DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNET BANKING AT THE MODERN STAGE IN RUSSIA

The article assesses the level of development of Internet banking at the present stage in Russia. The rating of banks' efficiency is analyzed and the legal framework governing the functioning of Internet banking is outlined. It has been suggested that under the influence of the pandemic, the development of Internet banking services has significantly accelerated, which is confirmed by the pandemic and quarantine measures of 2020. Also, the main problems of Internet banking were identified and prospects for its further development in Russia were identified.
