The First European Maps of Muscovy (1525) by O. F. Kudryavtsev

“…Nevertheless, there are some important and obvious differences in location of geographical objects and their names, which are difficult to account for in case the one map is a reproduction of the other.The fact that the first two European maps of Muscovy appeared in autumn 1525 coinciding with publication of three books about this country written by Paolo Giovio, Albertus Campensis and Johann Fabri is indicative of a great and intense attention which Europe payed to Muscovy in its oriental boundaries around this time. …”

Absorption Efficiency Assessment and Uncertainty Measurement of the Sodium Arsenite Method for Ambient NO2 Determination by Rishu Agarwal, Shankar G. Aggarwal

“…An average of 71 ± 3% and 71 ± 6% absorption efficiencies, respectively were observed against reported efficiency of 82% in the published standard (IS 5182 (Part 6): 2006, BIS, 2006a) in 1-impinger system at sampling flow rate of 1 L min−1 and absorbing solution temperature of 10–15°C during gas absorption in impinger. The difference is accounted for by the variation in flow rate used in present study (1 L min−1) and that in standard method (0.2 L min−1). …”

Modeling and Predicting Stochastic Merging Behaviors at Freeway On-Ramp Bottlenecks by Jian Sun, Kang Zuo, Shun Jiang, Zuduo Zheng

“…In this study, however, analyses not only focus on the accepted gaps, but also take the rejected gaps into account, and the impact on merging behavior with multi-rejected (more than once rejecting behavior) gaps was investigated; it shows that the multi-rejected gaps have a great influence on the estimation of critical gap and merging prediction. …”

NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS SYSTEM IN RUSSIA – AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE by A. A. Muravyeva, O. N. Oleynikova, N. M. Aksenova, E. M. Dorozhkin

“…The performed analysis of documents and of research data has revealed that the process of generating and enhancing knowledge about the national qualifications system semantically and methodologically is in broad terms contingent on the needs and objectives of social and economic development, and in narrower terms – on the development of occupational standards that underpin the standards of vocational and higher education, as well as on the enhanced institutionalisation of employers’ involvement in the training of personnel and in the search of effective mechanisms and instruments of independent assessment of qualifications.It also offers an insight into current key paradigmatic gaps in the NQF-related epistemology in Russia that account for the specificity of the observed state of play and for the key conceptual epistemological contradiction that has been identified by the authors as the opposition of and conflict between occupational and education qualifications. …”
