Fundamental Research

The main idea of this paper originated from the analysis of the fundamental research of the French economist Th. Piketty «Capital in the Twenty-First Century» (2013). Based on the study of historical data he argued that in the long-term global production growth has always been relatively slow and it will slow down even more in the future, at least with regard to its demographic component. The purpose of the presented research is to investigate empirically to what extent the dynamics of world production at the beginning of the 21st century corresponds to a slow growth regime (both in its demographic and economic component) and to find out whether there is production growth inequality between the regions of the world. The theoretical part of the research methodology is based on a unified growth theory. It explains why production growth has led to a significant increase in inequality between regions of the world over the past two centuries and contributed to further division of the global economic space into «worlds-economies» with different patterns of production growth. In the empirical part of the study, the authors use the methods of panel data analysis. During the period from 1992 to 2019, there was a slowdown of global production growth only in its demographic component, while the world average increase in the economic component of production growth (and, consequently, the total production growth) is constantly accelerating. However, its structure and pace vary significantly between regions of the world. The modern world can be conditionally divided into «worlds-economies» which have different, sometimes diametrically opposite, patterns of production growth.At the beginning of the 21st century, most regions of the modern world are still far from a slow growth regime in terms of production, especially with regard to its economic component, which cannot last long without a substantial dematerialization of the produced GDP.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.

There is no doubt that English is the most important communication tool in the modern world. Everyone uses it. From children to scientists and politicians. It is a language of business, education and communication between different nations of the world. This high usage and diversity of people using it undoubtedly led to its simplification and other changes in all aspects, including grammatical structures. Language is like a living organism. It does not remain unchanged; on the contrary, it shifts and develops over time. Modern English is very different from the language Brits used centuries ago. It is not even the same language it was ten years ago. In order to be a successful communicator you need to know and adjust to these changes. This article is dedicated to research about grammatical structures of Modern English of 21st century.

Pejzaż myśli. Warszawa Chopina i początek polskiej nowoczesności [A landscape of thoughts: Chopin’s Warsaw and the beginning of Polish modernity] by Michał Kuziak is a book combining the values of a scholarly work and a work whose main task is to popularise knowledge both about Frédéric Chopin himself and about the world that surrounded him and that shaped him. The dissertation is not only the context for the composer’s life; it is also part of a broader stream of research on the beginnings of Polish modernity. The book is therefore about Warsaw understood not only as the place where young Frédéric grew up, but also as the area where the foundations of Polish modernity were laid. Chopin functioned in a kind of intellectual melting pot within which there was a conflict between tradition and modernity, between progress and conservatism. The author precisely delineates the chronological framework within which he moves. These are the years 1810–1830, that is, the first 20 years of the composer’s life. However, the book does not only focus on the person of Chopin, so it is not “Chopin-centric.” The work consists of three parts, each of them marked with a significant title: 1. “City and people”; 2. “Institutions and people”; 3. “Thoughts and people.” This arrangement is a good example of the author’s main idea: to show Chopin among people, and also people within the city, municipal institutions and the thoughts that developed there. For the author of the book, Warsaw was a crucible and a cosmos of thoughts: on the one hand, there is a constant offensive of scientifi c and technical thought related to the Enlightenment tradition, and on the other, the birth of the world of spirit and religion. Polish modernity is an eclectic mixture in which there are still remnants of the noble world, but the foundations of the bourgeois world are also being laid. Kuziak, drawing an image of Warsaw at that time, emphasises the importance of key cultural institutions, such as literary salons and cafés. For Chopin, cafés, where he met with representatives of the contemporary world of literature and poetry, were of particular importance. Warsaw’s intellectual climate, inspired by the French Enlightenment, was giving way more and more to the influences of German culture associated with Romanticism. Kuziak writes that the modernity of the Romantic type was shaped by German culture. He regards the considerations of Kazimierz Brodziński and Maurycy Mochnacki as the two largest projects of modern Polish identity. Importantly, both of these authors were closely associated with the Polish musical culture which the young Chopin absorbed. The author of the book makes a reservation that it is difficult to conclusively confi rm what influence the institutional and intellectual shape of Warsaw at that time had on Chopin. He states with certainty that Chopin’s trips outside the city, and thus getting to know Masovian folklore, had a decisive impact on his imagination. The book does not, however, determine how the then Warsaw shaped the composer’s later life. The author brilliantly reconstructed the background on which Chopin’s shadow moved, but he chose not to answer the most important question: did the city, people, institutions and intellectual climate ultimately form the composer’s modern world view? This question remains open.

The article analyzes the customs of overcoming “desecration” (self-isolation from the modern world), actualizing among the Siberian Old Believers of different religious trends (accepting and not accepting the priesthood) during the spread of the new viral infection COVID-19. These interviews show that the Novosibirsk Old Believers have a firm conviction about the sinfulness of the “world” and its inhabitants as the root cause of the spread of the dangerous epidemic, but there is a difference in views between supporters of different directions, as well as on the acceptability of vaccination. Social upheavals throughout the history of mankind were accompanied by many concomitant factors, one of which was an appeal to the patterns included in the ethnocultural memory of peoples. At the beginning of the 21st century, the ideas and customs of the Old Believers were updated, which helped them to survive earlier during periods of epidemics (for example, the plague of 1771). As in the 18th - 19th centuries this is the observance of the tradition of eating exclusively from “their own dishes”, minimizing communication with the worldly (atheists, infidels, etc...

Transport Logistics

Depending on geographical location, the development of Georgian economy was directly related to the efficient use of transit function. For Georgia, as a transit function, the importance of transportation infrastructure is important in the formation of its geo-economic positioning strategy. The acquisition, realization and development of Georgia›s transport potential began in the 90s of the 20th century. Nevertheless, complex research and analysis on the possibilities of development of transit function of the country in Georgian economic literature is not practically investigated yet. Morover, there are not identified determinants on the development of the sector, and their impact on the economic development of the country is not defined either. The study aims to analyze capabilities of Georgia›s transit potential and to determine its influence on economic development of the country in the process of integration of modern world economy. The following objectives are derived: • Identification of significant stimulant determination of development of transport / logistics field and its effectiveness; • Establishment of transit / logistics potential for economic development of the country. The objective of the research is the transport and logistics sector in the Member States of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Caucasus and Central Asian countries as an important instrument of economic development of the country. The research is subject to comparative analysis of the targeted and consequential indicators of transport and logistics sector in the member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, in the Caucasus and Central Asia. The theoretical foundation of the research is the works of various Georgian and foreign researchers about the study. The survey was based on the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation, Eurostat, National Statistics Office of Georgia, Georgian and Foreign Professionals, Georgian and Foreign Marine Ports, Railway and Motor Operators, as well as the laws of Georgia. The work is based on analysis and synthesis, quantitative, qualitative, groupings, and medium-size, graphic expression, indexing, comparison, regression and correlation methods. The scientific innovation of the research is the attempt to conduct a complex examination of transit capabilities in Georgia, as a result of which: • Using the Panel Data Analysis Method is reasonable as the development of the transport / logistics sector is a very positive role in the socio-economic development of the country, the main determinant of which is the infrastructural investment. • Panel examinations and econometric calculations for member and partner countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with transit function and sea exit confirmed that investments in the transport/logistics infrastructure of these countries are the most efficient. The paper can be used to overcome the challenges of successful transit systems in Georgia and its successful integration into the world economy. Consequently, the findings and recommendations of the research topic are appropriate for the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure, the Parliament of Georgia and other sectoral authorities, non-governmental organizations, scientific organizations and other stakeholders. In the process of teaching geo-economics, «international economy», «world economy» and their neighboring disciplines.

Paradigm of sustainable development is not a stationary state but a global resolution of problem in a peacefully manner across the planetary boundaries. It is a normative (ethical) concept, an analytical concept, the science about complex systems, and at the same time a saving formula of the global survival of the world and the most complex human challenge in the 21st century. As an ideal this is a utopian concept, there are no reliable scientific arguments in support of its realisation and predictable time proximity. As an idea, it is a call to mobilizs the whole of mankind. The basic thesis and problem, whether and to what extent sustainable development is achievable or if it remains a fiction and a real danger of excessive technological mind and ecological degradation of the world of life.

The second decade of the 21st century is characterized throughout the world by keen interest of general public in school informatics courses. It is due both to natural interest of children in everything digital in context of modern world, position of parents who believe that informatics has huge importance for the future career of their children, and to pressure of professional associations, businesses, universities concerned about status and content of school informatics courses.The research discusses the historical aspects of formation and development of the national school informatics course, modern approaches to the formulation of its purposes and the selection of content. The purpose of the research is to identify and compare the main trends in the development of school informatics in Russia and in the world, to determine on this basis the possibilities of developing the methodical system of teaching informatics.The results of the research led to the conclusion that Russia has been and still remain one of the world leaders in the field of general education in informatics: in our schools since 1985 to the present day there has been compulsory study of informatics, and the fundamental component occupies an important place in the content of the informatics course. Three key trends in the development of school informatics abroad have been identified: strengthening of fundamentality, compulsory, continuity. It is revealed that abroad priority attention is paid to the use of potential of informatics for the development and formation of computational (computer) thinking of younger schoolchildren. Introduction of compulsory informatics education in the early stages of general education is defined as a strategic direction for the development of Russian school informatics course.

Dear reader, The 21st year of the 21st century will go down in history as the boundary that divided the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and post-pandemic world. It is the efforts of medical academic institutions and the dedicated medical professionals all around the world that have demonstrated a high readiness to overcome the modern challenges of the pandemic that has engulfed all the humanity. The world has received a new vector in the development of science to understand the strategy to combat the "plague" of the 21st century. First, it is the creation of specific prevention of COVID-19 at a record pace: on January 10, 2020, the information on the sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 virus (also known as 2019-nCoV) was received, and on December 11, 2020, vaccination against COVID-19 started among healthcare professionals in the United States. Currently, more than 2 billion people worldwide have been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 [1]. No deaths have been reported in the UK for 25 days (as of June 3, 2021), nevertheless changes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome and the emergence of new virus strains continue, and reports from high-incidence regions such as India are still alarming. The pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which as of today has infected more than 171 million and killed more than 3.5 million people globally, has been a major test for newer vaccines that differ from the previous ones. The organization and conduct of clinical research are becoming more important than ever. The article by Andriy Cherkas is dedicated to this topic [2]. Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson-Johnson vaccines developed and tested in clinical trials were made possible following the results of fundamental research by Katalin Karikó and Drew Weisman, which began almost 30 years ago [2] and ushered in the fifth era of vaccination [3, 4].
