This article aims to find cultural equivalents for the Lithuanian mythological creature laumė in the English and Russian languages. Therefore, a comparative analysis of similar mythological creatures in Lithuanian, Russian and English languages and cultures was carried out. The results of the analysis have shown which names of these creatures might be considered cultural equivalents. Such information is useful not only when choosing a domestication strategy, but for a foreignization strategy as well because these equivalents can be used both in the translation text itself and in additional extratextual comments. The conclusions given at the end of this article may be of practical importance for translators or authors writing about Lithuanian mythology and folklore for English or Russian speaking readers.

In the course of continuation of scientific research in the development of Kazakhstani technology for the production of trimanganese tetraoxide pigment, there have been proposed new methods of analysis which make it possible to investigate new nanostructural materials sourced from local deposits. The results obtained are of practical importance and serve as the foundation for developing new technologically advanced domestic production of a competitive product that is in demand both on the national and international markets. The available methods are not able to highlight the particularity and diversity of Kazakhstani manganese ores due to the uneven distribution of manganese minerals and host (waste) rock, the quantitative ratio of rock-forming components and their variation instability. Methods of energy-dispersive analysis of manganese ores from Kazakhstani Zhaksylyk and Bogach deposits have been put forward, electronic micrographs, spectrograms of samples, diagrams of normalized distribution of elements on the surface of samples have been obtained and a comparative analysis with raw analogue samples of some foreign manufacturers has been performed.

Organizational Collaboration

Social movement scholars suggest that coalitions comprise a significant and growing portion of all protest mobilizations. Such organizational collaboration is of great practical importance to the labor movement in particular, as unions struggle to succeed on their own in a difficult economic and political environment. Yet surprisingly little is known about the factors underlying the development and success of coalitions. In this article we advance literature on labor and social movement coalitions, bringing a comparative historical approach to bear on the problem and examining two influential and far-reaching labor campaigns that occurred in the U. S. South. Our argument and findings demonstrate the importance of the relative fit among coalition members, the vulnerabilities of collective action targets, and their interplay for coalition outcomes. We conclude by discussing the implications of the findings for labor and social movement challenges more generally.

We propose a fairly general framework which allows one to perform Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) computations for a contract with bilateral counterparty risk in the presence of (a) systemic risk and (b) wrong-way or right-way risks. Our methodology focuses on the role of alternative settlement clauses, but it also aims to cover various features of margin agreements. We present a comparative analysis of numerical results that supports our initial conjecture that alternative specifications of settlement values have a nonnegligible impact on CVA computations for contracts with bilateral counterparty risk. Our conclusions emphasize the practical importance of more sophisticated models that are capable of fully reflecting the actual features of financial contracts, as well as the influence of the market environment.

In The Beginning

The subject of this research is the support measures provided by the government Russian Federation for self-employed citizens who fall under a special tax regime “tax on professional income” in the conditions of the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The experiment of implementation of a special tax regime and the adoption of measures to support self-employed population in the time of pandemic plays an important role for the Russian economy. Legalization of activity of the growing number of self-employed citizens is the indicator of awareness and the manifestation of legal culture of the Russian population, and support provided by the government testifies to their participation in well-being of the population. Successful accomplishment of the set task is reflected in the statistics – as of December 31,.2020, the number of self-employed population amounted to 1,603,638 persons, while in the beginning of the pandemic it was 563,722 persons across the Russian Federation. The authors determine the two types of state support measures: general measures for businesses and the self-employed; as well as special measures intended solely for the self-employed. The application of systematic, formal-legal, comparative-legal, and structural-functional methods, allows examining the state support measures for the self-employed within the framework of implementation of the economic function by the government. Analysis is conducted on the actual statistical data and recent amendments to the legislation. The scientific novelty and practical importance of this work lies in comprehensive examination of the key measures of provided by the government of the Russian Federation for self-employed citizens in the time of COVID-19 pandemic, as well as in comparative analysis with the measures provided in foreign countries. Special attention is given to the comparative analysis of state support measures in Russia and Germany.

The results of solving the classification problem of credit organizations from the point of view of possible involvement in the money laundering processes are presented. A comparative analysis of the results obtained using various modern classification algorithms is carried out. When analyzing credit institutions, Rosfinmonitoring analysts have to operate with large amounts of information. The actual need for the number of objects to be analyzed is in many times greater than the capabilities of analysts. This problematic situation requires prioritization of inspections. The heterogeneous nature of information resources and their significant volume exclude the possibility of their manual processing. It is necessary to move from successive expert examinations of individual objects to parallel mass automated checks, taking into account modern methodological and instrumental possibilities in the context of digital transformation of public administration. A comparative analysis of the results of processing data on the activities of credit organizations by classification methods – logistic regression, decision trees (algorithms of Two-Class Boosted Decision Forest, AdaBoost), the method of support vectors (algorithm of Two-Class Support Vector Machine), neural network methods (algorithm of Two-Class Neural Network), Bayesian networks (the algorithm of Two-Class Bayes Pointmachine) carried out. Of the classification algorithms considered, the most accurate results were shown by the algorithm of Two-Class Boosted Decision Forest (AdaBoost). The results obtained are of great practical importance and may allow Rosfinmonitoring analysts, as well as experts of the Bank of Russia, to identify deviant credit institutions potentially involved in money laundering processes.

The analysis of management information systems for trade enterprises in Ukraine is considered. The process of a trade enterprise management determines the need to use information systems and technologies. However, the level of information support for Ukrainian trade enterprises remains very low because only 6 % of them actively used systems for customer relationship management. Therefore, the analysis and reasonable selecting of management information systems for trade enterprises is relevant and has practical importance. Analysis of the problem showed that researchers used two ways. The first one is to develop the own information systems. The second one is to use existing systems. The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of management information systems for trade enterprises and their selection based on rating evaluation. Based on the method of analogy, a methodology for rating evaluation of information systems has been proposed. To check the consistency of expert opinion on the rating of information systems, an expert method was used. Kendall coefficient of concordance has been calculated. A comparative analysis of four information systems such as Bitrix24, Bpm'online, AmoCRM, Megaplan was carried out. Based on the survey, they were selected by fifteen signs. It is determined that the information systems such as bpm online and Bitrix24 have the highest ratings. There have been considered their functionality. Similar results were obtained for six information systems including Megaplan, bpm'online sales, Bitrix24, Amo CRM, 1C and Mango. The consistency degree of expert opinions on the rating of four information systems such as bpm'online sales, Bitrix24, AmoCRM and Megaplan is determined by the expert method. The value of Kendall concordance coefficient of 0.86 indicates a strong consistency of expert opinion, which confirms the preliminary calculations. So, information systems are arranged in the following order: bpm online ranks first, Bitrix24 ranks second, AmoCRM ranks third and Megaplan comes fourth. Thus, according to the results of the rating, the solution of the company Terrasoft «Bpm'online» is the most suitable for satisfying our needs.

The research presents the comparative analysis of the most common electrical mode control systems for electric arc furnaces (EAF) and ladle furnaces (LF) produced by the leading foreign companies, i.e. Siemens VAI (Primetals Technologies), Danieli, Amec Spie , AMI, Ferrotron. The comparative analysis criteria are the functionality requirements for the electric mode control systems, which ensure optimal operation of the furnace units at minimum production costs. Such analysis allows solving various tasks related to the electric steel-making production planning, as well as to basic technological equipment supplier selection. The results of the comparative analysis are of significant practical importance, since in a number of cases, the studies into the furnace units’ operation optimization show no technical possibility to achieve the required energy and time levels due to the limitations posed by the architecture of the electrical mode and the electrode motion control system.

The research subject is the questioning of juvenile participants of criminal proceedings; the research object is the peculiarities of this investigative procedure. The research is of a theoretical nature; the authors analyze and study the particular aspects of the questioning of minors. The research is based on the formal-legal, comparative-legal and the systems methods. The authors study in details such aspects of the issue as juvenile crime statistics for 2008 - 2020 and the factors promoting its growth. Special attention is given to the preparation for the questioning and the very procedure of questioning of a juvenile person. The article contains preliminary and final conclusions. The authors consider the participants to the procedure of questioning of minors whose presense at the procedure is required, and the temporal limits for such an interrogation established by law. The urgency of studying the specificity of the status of a children's counsel is determined by the need for its statutorization, and contains in itself the novelty of the research. The formalization of the modernization of the conditions of the questionning of minors, and the issues of acceptability of its repetitive conduction are of a practical importance for law-enforcement activities. For the purpose of a comparative analysis, the authors consider the procedural peculiarities of the questioning of minors contained in the criminal procedure laws of China and Japan.

Basic Purpose

The two legal institutes, the precarium, i.e. precarious loan and loan for use are often identified in everyday speech even in the legal context, and revocability is emphasized as the only feature of their differentiation. Taking into account the opinion of legal theorists according to which the legal effect of the precarium can be achieved by applying the rules on borrowing, some of the modern codifications of civil law failed to define the precarious loan as an independent legal institute. Nevertheless, the Croatian legislator, guided by the historical application of the Austrian General Civil Code in the Croatian territory, standardized the institute of the precarious loan by a separate legal provision and thus defined it by the subtype of the contract of loan for use. The very rare use of this institute in legal practice as well as the lack of interest for this institute in modern civil law theory make the nature of this institute still insufficiently clear. A comparative analysis of legal theory, but also of foreign legislation that served as a basis for drafting the legal framework of borrowing in Croatian law will try to determine the features of the precarious loan and point to cases where the application of this institute is particularly opportune. Despite the similarity of the two mentioned legal institutes of loan for use and the precarious loan that will be pointed out in the content, the basic purpose of this research is to emphasize the importance of each institute taking into account the features that distinguish them and confirm that both institutes have their own purpose, practical importance and application in Croatian law.
