The article was prepared for the 95th anniversary of the birth of Valentin Grigorievich Maslov, Doctor of Science (Engineering), Professor, founder of the school for optimal design of aircraft engine parameters, head of the engine CAD system department (Department 6) of the applied research laboratory (ONIL-2) of Kuibyshev Aviation Institute named after academician S.P. Korolyov. The stages of creating the theoretical foundation for optimal design of aircraft are discussed. The role of Professor V.G. Maslov in the formalization of knowledge in aircraft design in a context of uncertainty and the importance of multi-criteria assessment of design solutions are described. The work of Department 6 ONIL-2 (KuAI-SSAU), led by Valentin Grigorievich, provided Samara scientific school with a leading position in the field of optimal design of engines for aircraft of varying function. These works contributed to the formation of a modern understanding of the intellectualization of systems and the successful start of work in the field of their creation. The development of Professor V.G. Maslovs ideas in the works of his students is shown.

The Creation

The article describes the scientific-school approach as a method of historical and scientificresearch. The value of the scientific-school approach in relation to the study of domesticscience is revealed. Based on the consideration of new «dimensions» (or aspects) ofscience, a researcher can get a panoramic picture of its development in a scientifically-substantive,scientific-organizational, scientific-educational, personal-psychological and sociocultural«dimensions». A brief historical review is given, fixing some important milestones onthe path to the formation of the first Soviet scientific schools in physics. These schools played a fundamental role in the organization and development of physical science in our countryafter the October Revolution. The reasons for the loss of the role of scientific schools in the organizationof modern scientific research abroad are discussed. It is shown that the evolutionof Russian radiophysics is closely related to the activities of a number of scientific schools.Various «roles» of scientific schools that they played in the emergence of native radiophysics,the creation of its theoretical foundation, the formation of new areas of radiophysical research,the development of information transfer technologies, military technologies with a significantradiophysical component, the formation of modern educational and scientific radiophysicalcenters are examined. These «roles» may be useful in organizing research in our country.

Subject. The article discusses how management transforms as artificial intelligence gets more important in governance, production and social life. Objectives. We identify and substantiate trends in management transformation as artificial intelligence evolves and gets more important in governance, production and social life. The article also provides our suggestions for management and training of managers dealing with artificial intelligence. Methods. The study employs methods of logic research, analysis and synthesis through the systems and creative approach, methodology of technological waves. Results. We analyzed the scope of management as is and found that threats and global challenges escalate due to the advent of artificial intelligence. We provide the rationale for recognizing the strategic culture as the self-organizing system of business process integration. We suggest and substantiate the concept of soft power with reference to strategic culture, which should be raised, inter alia, through the scientific school of conflict studies. We give our recommendations on how management and training of managers should be improved in dealing with artificial intelligence as it evolves. The novelty hereof is that we trace trends in management transformation as the role of artificial intelligence evolves and growth in governance, production and social life. Conclusions and Relevance. Generic solutions are not very effective for the Russian management practice during the transition to the sixth and seventh waves of innovation. Any programming product represents artificial intelligence, which simulates a personality very well, though unable to substitute a manager in motivating, governing and interacting with people.

Abstract This paper gives an overview of a collaborative design system (CDS) for electromechanical products. To reduce design costs and to manufacture high-quality products, it is well known that concurrent engineering (CE) is a very efficient approach. Three-dimensional (3D) CAD system and engineering database system are essential components of CE. The CDS is an environment to realize CE. By creating 3D models in a computer and performing some simulations such as mechanical, electronic, software simulation and integrated simulations, it is possible to estimate functions, assemblability, manufacturability and so on, before making prototype models. In this paper, we outline the CDS and mainly discuss the total information management system (TIMS) which makes an important role of the CDS. This paper describes the implementation experience of some functions of the TIMS.

Abstract Contract farming is based on agreements settled prior to the farmer deciding about agricultural production, and influence their judgment regarding inputs and production systems. Therefore, they provide means of production coordination and safety for both farmer and agro-industry/distributor. However, contract farming has its gaps since it is written in abscence of complete information, due to the behavioral assumption of bounded rationality of economic agents. A specific law might generate legal certainty for economic agents, insofar as the Judiciary fulfills the contractual gaps. From the other side, private agents may also fulfill the contractual gaps. As an effort to understand the role of institutions in contract farming, this study aims to analyze the Bill 6,459/2013, which intends to rule contract farming and takes private instituctions into account, through the agency of the Monitoring, Development and Reconciliation of Integration Committee (Cadec). This is an applied research with qualitative approach. The research concludes that the approval of bill might lead to effective typical law for contract farming, provided that the creation of Cadec is encouraged.

Abstract: The new Russian military doctrine from 2010, the growing international assertiveness of Russia, and eventually the annexation of the Crimea Peninsula in 2014 have forced the West to rethink deterrence strategies vis a vis Russia. Consequently, the old Cold War concept of deterrence was dusted off and the debate picked up from where it had ended in 1990. This article summarizes the end of the Cold War thinking on deterring aggression against NATO-Europe. It explains why the present Western theoretical foundation of deterrence, which still focuses on strong conventional forces backed up by nuclear weapons, no longer suffices, and argues that the new Russian concept of strategic deterrence requires a complete overhaul of the Western approach. It is not only the security of the Baltic member states of NATO or of transatlantic cables that matter, Europe has to cope with desinformation and destabilization campaigns and has to rethink its energy security strategy. Only together can NATO and EU master these challenges.

AbstractBacteria invest in a slow-growing subpopulation, called persisters, to ensure survival in the face of uncertainty. This hedging strategy is remarkably similar to financial hedging, where diversifying an investment portfolio protects against economic uncertainty. We provide a new theoretical foundation for understanding cellular hedging by unifying the study of biological population dynamics and the mathematics of financial risk management through optimal control theory. Motivated by the widely accepted role of volatility in the emergence of persistence, we consider several novel models of environmental volatility described by continuous-time stochastic processes. This allows us to study an emergent cellular hedging strategy that maximizes the expected per-capita growth rate of the population. Analytical and simulation results probe the optimal persister strategy, revealing results that are consistent with experimental observations and suggest at new opportunities for experimental investigation and design. Overall, we provide a new way of conceptualising and modelling cellular decision-making in volatile environments by explicitly unifying theory from mathematical biology and finance.
