Debating the Noon Universe: A. and B. Strugatsky vs M. and S. Dyachenko
No full textПоступила в редакцию: 05.06.2023. Принята к печати: 24.10.2023.Submitted: 05.06.2023. Accepted: 24.10.2023.В статье проводится сопоставительный анализ концепций мира будущего, представленных в повести А. и Б. Стругацких «Полдень, XXII век» (и частично в иных произведениях цикла о Мире Полудня) и романе М. и С. Дяченко «Пандем». Показана общность базовых принципов (бесконечность познания, творческий труд, самореализация личности), лежащих в основе предлагаемых писателями социальных моделей, проанализированы наиболее важные для авторов характеристики «счастливого завтра» (организация общества, системы управления и воспитания подрастающего поколения, космическая экспансия). Одним из главных объектов рассмотрения становится сходство художественных структур повести и романа, представляющих собой «повествование в рассказах» с мозаичной композицией хронологического типа, фиксирующей основные стадии развития изображаемого социума. Показана специфика фантастической посылки (отсутствие ее подробного обоснования в тексте произведений), характерная для социальной фантастики, признанными мастерами которой являются оба творческих дуэта. Выявлены функции сквозных персонажей, скрепляющих отдельные эпизоды, имеющие самостоятельные сюжеты, в единое масштабное полотно, раскрывающее не только общие процессы и глобальные события в мире будущего, но и подробности частной жизни и перипетии личных судеб наших потомков. Подробно проанализированы финалы повести (и шире, цикла о Мире Полудня) и романа, при внешней противоположности (оптимистическое утверждение утопического мира у Стругацких, нарастающий общественный дисбаланс и отказ от проводимого Пандемом социального эксперимента у Дяченко) демонстрирующие, по мнению автора статьи, общность авторских взглядов на судьбы человечества. Содержащиеся в статье наблюдения и выводы призваны показать сходство и различие трактовки многоаспектных утопических и антиутопических социальных моделей в русскоязычной фантастике второй половины ХХ в. и начала XXI в.This article provides a comparative analysis of the concepts of the world of the future as presented in the story Noon: 22nd Century (and partially in other parts of the Noon Universe cycle) by A. and B. Strugatsky and the novel Pandem by M. and S. Dyachenko. It discusses the common basic principles (infinity of knowledge, creative work, personal self-realisation) underlying the social models proposed by the writers, analyses salient characteristics of the writers’ “happy tomorrow” (society organisation, management system, upbringing of the younger generation, and space expansion). The article pays close attention to the similarity of the artistic structures of the story and the novel, representing an “in-the-story-narrative” with the mosaic composition of chronological type, which shows the main stages of the development of the society depicted. The author enlarges on the fantastic premise (the works under analysis do not give its detailed substantiation), typical of social science fiction, and both duos are recognised masters of it. The author singles out functions of the cross-cutting characters that bind together individual episodes with independent plots into a single large-scale canvas, revealing not only general processes and global events in the world of the future, but also details of private life and the ups and downs of personal destinies of our descendants. Additionally, the author analyses the finale of the story (and more widely, of the cycle about the Noon Universe) and the novel. While externally opposed (an optimistic assertion of the utopian world by the Strugatsky brothers and the growing social imbalance and rejection of the social experiment conducted by Pandem in Dyachenkos’ work), both works demonstrate common aspects of the writers’ views on the fate of humanity. Observations and conclusions reflect similarities and differences in the interpretation of multifaceted utopian and dystopian social models in Russian-language science fiction of the second half of the twentieth century and the early twenty-first century
The illocutionary goal of the utterances with politically correct words
No full textIn the article, the author describes her experience of the analysis of the utterances with politically
correct words in terms of the theory of speech acts. The results of the analysis permit the author to make the conclusion
that the illocutionary goal of the assertive utterances with politically correct words does not coincide with communicative
intention of the speaker since the propositions of such utterances do not represent the real state of affairs of the world
A Low Power 10-bit SAR ADC in a 45nm CMOS process
No full textIn this work a low power SAR ADC with 8.9 ENOB for wireless communication systems is presented. A capacitive charge redistribution DAC with a unit capacitor of 0.5fF is used. The implemented charge-sharing technique, allows the use of 2^(N-1) + 1 unit capacitors, instead of the conventional 2^N , thus decreasing the DAC area and the DAC switching power by a factor of 2. An asynchronous digital controller eliminates the need of an external high frequency clock. The test chip has been manufactured in a CMOS 45nm process. The measured power consumption is only 45µW at the sampling rate of 16MS/s. The total area of the ADC is only 0.01mm2 . The achieved FoM of 5.9fJ/conv is comparable with state-of-the art.ELlectronic Instrumentation LaboratoryElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Formation of Competencies for Managers of Sustainable Development in Ukraine
No full textThe relevance of training management specialists in sustainable development and the formation of "tomorrow’s" competencies in them is determined by the need to be included in the world’s global space. After all, there is no alternative to the Millennium Goals (Sustainable Development Goals) today. The need to develop policies embodied in best practices, particularly at the local level, determines the necessity of creating new educational programs and components focusing on sustainable development management, which should be based on a balance of economic, social, and environmental dimensions, as well as the measurement of management efficiency. Therefore, it is imperative to consider all stakeholders’ interests in achieving progress in the country’s sustainable development. This chapter examines and substantiates the methodology and algorithm for forming a set of competencies of a modern manager of sustainable development based on the balance of interests and considering the challenges/risks that managers of this new type face. Additionally, it was determined that the understanding of people of different generations regarding the concept of sustainable development is a crucial aspect in the formation of educational programs. Attitudes towards sustainable development differ between generations due to their distinct life experiences, socio-cultural influences, and perceptions of global issues. The methods of comparative analysis were employed in the literature review and the evaluation of existing educational programs on sustainable development management worldwide and the competencies they provide
A Substantial Work on the Theory and Practice of Soviet Finance
No full textThe State Finances Publishing House has published a most comprehensive book throwing light on pressing theoretical and practical problems in Soviet finances. The main purpose of the book reviewed here is to describe the role of finances in the process of formation and distribution of national revenue. As the author remarks, the finances in socialism "Penetrate all pores of socialist production and produce an active influence upon it" (p. 18). This alone predetermines the importance of the role played by the finances in all areas and processes of socialist economy, and especially in the formation and movement of national revenue. In this connection the book examines also the system of Soviet credit and of price forming in the USSR.
