Economic Philosophy

In this article, the authors argue that trans-systemic knowledge system analysis of Indigenous-to-Indigenous economics enables generative thinking toward Indigenous futures of economic freedom. The authors apply a trans-systemic lens to critically analyze persistent development philosophy that acts as a barrier to the advancement of Indigenous economic development thinking. By exploring ways in which colonial discourse entraps Indigenous nations within circular logic in service of a normative centre the need for new economic logic is apparent. Shifting to trans-systemic knowledge systems analysis to include diverse insights from Māori and other Indigenous economic philosophy, the authors show that it is not profit and financial growth that matters in and of itself. Rather, according to Indigenous definitions of wealth, economic freedom and development are constituted by value creation that aligns with Indigenous worldviews and principles. Indigenous economic knowledge centred on relationship, reciprocity and interconnectedness fosters Indigenous economic freedom.

The project “National Groundwater Flow System Analysis” in The Netherlands was initiated in 1991 and will last until 1995. Financed by three Dutch Ministries, the project aims at the mapping of the regional groundwater flow systems to support policy makers at national levels and water/nature resources management. Much emphasis is put on biotic aspects such as the relation between groundwater and patterns in vegetation. The results are used in a detailed flow system analysis of the eco-hydrological valuable drainage basin of the brooks Beerze and Reusel in the southern parts of the country. In this study vegetation patterns and hydrological situations were analyzed in present and in historical settings to unravel the changes in the last decades leading to severe deterioration of habitats and wetlands. Historical data on flora from the beginning of this century on the basis of km-grid cells show a strong relation with the historical exfiltration areas where deep alkaline groundwaters rich in calcium-carbonate emerged. Agriculture and man-made changes to the natural drainage systems have led to diminishing nature values. Combining a sound understanding of the groundwater flow systems and the changes in the last decades produced a number of practical and viable measures to restore historical wetland settings and to preserve existing ones.

Legal Consequences

Introduction. The article based on the methods of systems analysis and comparative law studies the legal consequences of the impossibility for the proprietor to return the thing requested by the owner as a result of the loss of the latter. The concept of “excess” in the civil law of Germany is discussed. The issue of competition of claims in the recovery by the owner of property from someone else’s illegal possession is resolved. The legal status of a bona fide and unfair proprietor in the event of “excess” in Russia and Germany is considered.Materials and Methods. The main methods of this study are the system analysis of legislation, the analysis of scientific literature, and the comparative legal method of research.Results of the Study. The main conclusion is the absence of a systemic and fair regulation of the position of a bona fide proprietor in Russia who is not able to return the thing to the owner in kind. The consequence of this is a violation of the balance of interests of the owner and the proprietor of the thing. The practical result of the study is a series of proposals for amending the institutions of vindication and unjust enrichment in the Civil Code of the Russian FederationDiscussion and Conclusion. Regulation of property relations requires the obligatory observance of the balance of rights not only of the participants of relations, but also of society and the state. Imbalance can lead to unjustified infringement of the rights of participants in legal relations.

System analysis procedures as applied to driving simulators must accomplish several bask tasks: (1) they must identify the system components and interactions that are to be simulated; (2) they must specify the degree of simulation of each component in the system. In this case, the extent to which the automobile and the environment are to be reproduced by the simulator must be adequately established; (3) the input and output to the simulator, plus the process of introducing variability and measuring the response to it, must be subjected to careful analysis; (4) finally, the simulation process requires that a major portion of any driver-related systems analysis be devoted to an examination of each component in the system, its input, functioning, and response characteristics. The basic components of the driving situation were analyzed from a systems point of view. In order to summarize some existing simulation attempts, the particular focus of each study with respect to the component or method of handling a component, was utilized. The driving simulation literature was reviewed to provide an integrated conceptual framework of the accomplishments of research in this field The basic component relations were explored and the primary functions of simulation were then analyzed. These primary functions were: (1) the introduction of experimental variation into the system; (2) the representation of the components of the system; (3) the measurement of component response; and (4) the measurement of system performance.

Increase Energy Efficiency

The results of the research on the application of a systematic approach to solving energy efficiency problems in Ukraine are presented. The reasons for restraining the level of energy efficiency are highlighted, among which are the hollowing: ineffective policy of incentives to reduce energy consumption; lack of investments and conditions for their attraction; inefficient tariff and price policy in the energy sector of the economy, non-compliance with regulations, programs of various levels and measures. The need to increase the level of energy efficiency in Ukraine is substantiated and a system analysis is proposed to solve this problem. The methodology of systems analysis is implemented using a systems approach, in particular, to the interpretation of the process of energy efficiency development as an open, nonlinear, complex system. As an element of systems analysis, the study uses a multilevel approach, which provides an opportunity to consider the object of study at different hierarchical levels: the international community, state, industry, region and individual. It is noted that in order to successfully develop the progress of energy efficiency in Ukraine, it is necessary to take into account global trends and recent large-scale changes in this area. Examples of progress realization at the state level are given, in particular, implementation of a large number of legal acts, a number of stimulating measures for energy saving, etc. The importance of the sectoral level to increase energy efficiency in Ukraine is indicated. The importance of energy efficiency potential at the regional level is emphasized, which can give a significant boost to its entire economy and significantly improve the lives of the population. The importance of optimizing the process of energy efficiency at the level of various institutions is presented; as one of the options for solving this problem, it is proposed to popularize its benefits both among the population and the individual. The multilevel approach to energy efficiency in Ukraine proposed in the study presupposes an integrated combination of efforts at different levels and a synergistic effect of solving the problem.
