Faculty Salary Structure for Publicly Funded Higher Education Institutions of the Russian Federation by Y. V. Dolzhenkova, A. L. Safonov, A. A. Chub

“…As a result, it was determined that: 1) unreasonably low official salaries established by professional qualification groups do not provide the reproduction function of wages in full; 2) the differentiation of official salaries for the lecturers of the same qualification level and the position held, due to the size of the financing of budgetary institutions and the remuneration policy of the university, leads to a violation of the principle of “an equal pay for an equal work”; 3) the presence of a large number of incentive payments in the salary structure leads to the “opacity” of wages. …”

Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior of Winding Hoisting Rope under Head Sheave Axial Wobbles by Guoying Wang, Xingming Xiao, Chi Ma, Gang Cheng, Xiao Di

“…In this paper, the coupled lateral-longitudinal governing equations of the winding hoisting system under the axial wobble excitations of the head sheave are established by the Hamilton principle. The governing equations are nonlinear infinite-dimensional partial differential equations, which are discretized into the finite-dimensional ordinary differential equations through the Galerkin method. …”

General characteristics of departmental lawmaking activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine by V. V. Korniienko

“…The study found that the concept of “law formation” is broader and more key compared to the concepts of “lawmaking”, “departmental lawmaking” and “departmental lawmaking” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, and it should be based on natural law approach to legal understanding, namely three fundamental provisions: 1) commonalities and differences between law and legislation, i.e. legislation can exist outside its most common form (law) in the form of a measure of freedom and equality, which is reflected in the principles of law, subjective rights, legal relations, customs, and more; 2) the concepts of civil society and the rule of law, according to which priority is given to civil society itself, i.e. the community of independent, equal and free persons who are citizens of a particular state; 3) the principle of separation of powers. …”

“Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together”?: the Crisis of the World Sports Movement in the Context of the Pandemic and the Problem of Racism by E. V. Khakhalkina, A. V. Munko

“…European Football Championship and Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021, FIFA 2022 qualifiers show some politically motivated refereeing, as well as bursts of racism on the part of individual participants. The principle of “political correctness” widespread in the West makes it difficult to discuss and deal with historical and colonial traumas, as well as with the crisis in the values of “fair play” in professional sports, caused by its commercialization and politicization.The article concludes that the observed facts stem, among other things, from the revival of the Black Lives Matter movement in the spring of 2020, which spread beyond the borders of the United States, the formation and expansion of the “cancel culture”, as well as the growing influence of social networks and media on world public opinion. …”
