Wine Monopoly Assessed by the Contemporaries of S.Y. Vitte
No full textIntroduction. The introduction of monopoly is associated with the minister of finance S.Y. Vitte, who initiated an active reforming activity during the economic modernization of the country. The current article analyzes social and economic consequences of introducing the wine monopoly assessed by the contemporaries of S.Y. Vitte. This was one of the most complicated and controversial reforms in term of acceptance by the society, which raised opposite assessments, including ones with regard to Vitte himself. Notwithstanding the above, it became a part of the “Vitte’s Program” aimed at the creation of the national industry during the country’s economic modernization. In this context the monopoly solved an important problem, in particular, it helped to search and attract funds inside the country in order to solve the set targets, which caused controversial reaction in the society. A number of prominent state and social officials as well as famous economic scientists spoke about its implementation. Methods and materials. The author analyzed different points of view expressed by such officials as: M.M. Kovalevskiy, I.H. Ozerov, P.P. Migulin, N.A. Velyaminov, N.I. Fridman, M.N. Kulomzin, A.F. Koni, P.L. Bark, V.N. Kokovtsov, P.H. Shvanebach, L.D. Hodskiy and others, who gave their estimation of social and economic consequences of introduction of the wine monopoly, as well as the role of Vitte in its development, implementation and social and economic consequences, in their publications, articles, reminiscences and memoirs. Basic methods of research used in the article are historical and genetic and comparative historical. They allow assessing general and specific issues in the approaches and assessments of the completed reform. Analysis. Although the necessity of the monopoly introduction was discussed in the Government long before Vitte, his predecessors at the position of the minister of finance have not decided to make this step, as they understood the reaction, which will be caused in the society due to its introduction. Indeed, after the monopoly has been introduced, a number of prominent state and social activists expressed their opinion about the necessity of its introduction, the role of Vitte in its development and implementation as well as about the social and economic consequences of this reform. Among the liberal circles the estimations were mostly of a critical nature. Having admitted that the excise system was not able to eliminate alcoholism and that the organization of alcoholic industry needed serious reforms, liberal mass media of that period did not anchor any hopes on the improvement of the industry with the official trade. However, the analysis of the reform made among its developers as well as certain scientific and social actors was more balanced and objective. Results. Therefore, the reform of drinks (wine monopoly), which was introduced by Vitte in 1894 and existed almost till the beginning of the First World War was controversially assessed by its contemporaries and, as it was shown during the conducted research, often the reason for this was the attitude to Vitte himself. The critics of Vitte, as a rule, did not take into account that by introducing the monopoly he defended mostly the interests of the state and after his resignation he was no longer personally responsible for its final results. In this regard, the last minister of finance of the Russian Empire, P.L. Bark, who replaced the monopoly during the First World War with the nonalcohol law, in his memoirs highly appraised the role of Vitte in the development and implementation of the reform and considered it quite reasonable in the relevant historical conditions. Most of the contemporaries agreed that the introduction of the monopoly helped to significantly increase the cash flow to the budget, at that, the monopoly failed to solve the second important goal, which is the decrease of alcoholism level among peasants – major part of the empire’s population. The advantage of the reform, which almost nobody challenges, is the significant increase of the quality of consumed product

No full textEnvironmental factors influencing target selection for residential burglary: experimental study using virtual reality
No full textData on the decision-making process of residential burglars at the micro-level are scarce. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, none of the related studies have investigated multiple relationships between the design features of a target, a burglar’s assessment of effort and risk involved in the crime, and the final decision on target selection. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that a burglar’s judgment of how difficult (ease of intrusion) and how risky (risk of detection) it would be to break into a certain target may mediate the relationship between the target’s design features and target selection. The experiment using virtual reality was conducted to obtain more credible data by maximizing the immersion of participants, and the collected data were analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that the assessment of ease of intrusion and risk of detection for a burglary target served as mediators between the design features of the target and the decision on target selection. This study also found that the ease of intrusion and risk of detection were not evaluated independently but instead had influential relationships. These results suggest that when developing design strategies for burglary prevention, it is important to check the overall level of ease and risk of the possible intrusion routes of a target and their correlation by considering various environmental factors around the intrusion routes.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and Strateg
L'image de la femme et du couple dans trois œuvres de S.Y. Agnon : Agounot (Abandonnées/Suspendues), Sipour Pashout (Une simple histoire) Et Shira. Approche psychanalytique et influence freudienne.
No full textThrough psychoanalytical approach, the thesis examines the image of the woman and the couple in three works of S.Y. Agnon, recipient of the 1966 Nobel Prize for Literature, in which the couple and an object of desire occupy a central place : Agunot, a short story written in 1908 when the author is only 21 years old, Sipur Pashut a two hundred page novel written in 1935 and Shira a long novel that Agnon is unable to finish. Although some chapters appear in the press in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the novel itself was published posthumously by the author’s daughter according to her fathers will in 1971. After analyzing each story separately, the thesis evaluates by comparison the Freudian influence in the structure of each story, the behavior of the characters, the dynamic within the couple, their dreams as well as the void caused by the absence of the beloved person. This thesis also analyzes Agnon’s ambivalence towards psychoanalysis.La thèse se propose d’étudier, à l’aide d’une approche psychanalytique, trois œuvres de S.Y. Agnon, prix Nobel de littérature en 1966, dans lesquels le thème du trio amoureux, un couple et l’objet de désir ou d’amour extérieur à ce couple, occupe une place centrale : Agounot (Abandonnées), une histoire courte écrite en 1908 alors que l’auteur n’a que 21 ans, Sipour Pashout (Une simple histoire), un récit entre novella et roman publié en 1935 et Shira, un long roman que l’auteur ne semble pas pouvoir terminer, dont certains passages paraissent dans la presse vers la fin des années 1940 mais qui sera publié en 1971 à titre posthume par la fille d’Agnon, en charge de l’œuvre, et ce, à la demande de son père. Chaque histoire est traitée séparément puis, par comparaison, la recherche tente d’évaluer l’influence freudienne à travers l’évolution des personnages, leurs comportements, la dynamique du couple, leurs rêves, leurs réactions face au manque provoqué par l’absence de l’être aimé. Ce travail aborde également la relation ambivalente d’Agnon à la psychanalyse
