Advancing Sustainable Groundwater Management With a Hydro‐Economic System Model: Investigations in the Harney Basin, Oregon by W. K. Jaeger, J. Antle, S. B. Gingerich, D. Bigelow

“…The HEM shows that: (a) although current groundwater pumping rates will gradually raise costs and reduce well yields, irrigators gain the highest aggregate economic return by continuing current pumping; (b) lowland areas of the basin are hydrologically connected, which limits the efficacy of remedies focused on regulations only in some portions of the basin; (c) community expectations regarding the efficacy of several proposed solutions are overly optimistic; and (d) the study's scenarios identify interventions that would stabilize the groundwater system and prevent additional adverse impacts on residential and livestock wells and groundwater‐dependent ecosystems. …”

Theoretical substantiation of system for organising preventive treatment of asphalt concrete road pavements by V. V. Petrusevich

“…The article presents an overview of the state of the problem of preventing destruction of asphalt concrete pavements abroad and in the Republic of Belarus, an analysis of the measures taken to implement the developed hydrophobic preventive Protekt-01composition at transport infrastructure facilities, and also, based on the data obtained from production testing a ‘System for organizing preventive treatment’ has been proposed, which will be aimed at preventing the beginning and future destruction of the asphalt concrete pavement of highways and will be based on monitoring the technical condition of the control object, planning, organizing, implementing and managing preventive and repair measures using navigation equipment and software that makes it possible to optimize the balance of costs and road surface defects.Originality. Thus, based on the theoretical substantiation and the results of practical implementation of the developed composition, the following are proposed:- method for ensuring the operation of a control system for liquid road-building materials which enables to eliminate overconsumption of the distributed substance;- ‘System for organizing preventive treatment’, which enables to increase the service life of asphalt concrete pavement by 1.2–1.5 times.…”

Organizational and Economic Aspects of the State Support of the Enterprises and Organizations of National Defense Industry by Y. V. Mishin

“…The proposals were developed on the basis of the analysis of the specific features of the organization of production and military products manufactured by the defense industry, as well as existing legal documents in the field of state support for investment activities.Conclusions and Relevance: аt the present stage of development of the Russian economy, the state must not only provide support to enterprises and organizations of the defense industrial complex in the form of concessional loans, subsidize interest rates on them, but also finance research and development costs from the federal budget. It should create interest among potential buyers in their acquisition of civilian products not only by economic, but also by administrative methods. …”

To What Extent Does Kant's Doctrine of the Highest Good Embody a Realist Orientation Towards Ethics? by Sasha Mudd

“…Through his doctrine of the Highest Good, I argue, Kant shows himself to be concerned with what is required for finite, embodied rational agents to sustain confidence in morality, despite what it costs them in practical alienation. According to this analysis, the transition to moral religion Kant articulates through the Highest Good leaves him at odds with his earlier, constitutivist commitments, and reveals a persistent tension in his ethics between what may be achieved from within the moral standpoint, as this is defined in constitutivist terms, and important practical goods this leaves out. …”

Smart Contracts and International Trade: European Legal Strategies for Managing Challenges by Th. D. Lamappulage Donn

“…Smart contracts have numerous advantages, such as increased efficiency, reduced costs, and wide availability. However, they may lead to legal challenges when harmonizing traditional legal principles with the digital environment, in particular concerning the authentication of subjects, enforceability under specific circumstances of a case, and jurisdictional issues.Scientific novelty: the current literature on the transformation of international trade regulation in the context of digitalization processes and the spread of smart contracts is complemented by the results of a comparative analysis of the legal positions existing in the European legal space and developed on the basis of problems, lessons and achievements in the smart contracts implementation in international trade.Practical significance: understanding the legal implications of smart contracts is important for businesses involved in international trade. …”
