There is a common point of view in Egyptology that Memphis was a state capital since the earliest times and that its protecting gods were Ptah and his spouse Sekhmet. Arguing this concept, the author tries to find the reason why a pyramid city of Pepi I — Mennefer — became a core of the future capital. The main conclusion is following: Constructing his pyramid complex, Pepi I probably included into it a cult center of Habes where Bastet and Imhotep, a high priest of Ra, were worshiped. Imhotep, a companion of the king Djoser, was known as a priest and charmer who tamed the fiery forces of Sirius associated with Bastet, after which the great drought was over. To commemorate this, New Year celebration and the first sun calendar were established. Imhotep’s tomb became an important cult place, where ceremonies important for surviving of the Egyptian state were conducted. In the second half of the Old Kingdom period the Nile started to flood much less, which led to the decline of agriculture. Thus, the role of the cult center of Habes and Imhotep grew greatly. By including Habes, Pepi protected the dominion of his pyramid city from negative influence of Bastet and decreased flooding. The fact that Mennefer was a successor of the aforementioned cult center determined its capital functions in future.

In the current article we study patterns and conditions, under which the role of marine shipping industry within the system of balanced sustainable development of mega economics can be increased. We concentrate attention on the synchronism of emerging problems of differentiation certain economical subsystems and issues of keeping the priorities of development and sustainable positioning. Marine shipping industry holds a special position within international economic relations. Being under the general market relations laws, it predetermines the parameters of supply segment in a limited way. That is why unbalanced cargo traffic and fleet freight capacity cause integral and external losses. Despite system dependence on the international trade pattern, commercial shipping is essential for innovative development of big maritime states' industrial sector.

The situation and importance of private farms in Hungary have significantly changed and are still changing due to the political and economic regime change of 1989-90 and subsequent events. The aim of this study is to provide – unlike the practice of the last two decades – an impartial review of the social and economic role of Hungarian private farms. To demonstrate the changes occurring in private farms, we rely on the data of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO-KSH)such as the General Structure Surveys, the Farm Structure Surveys, and tables from the online stADAT database. From the point of view of methodology, time series analyses (2000–2010) were performed in the framework of this secondary research. Our hypothesis that private farms in Hungary deserve much more attention than previously, from the perspective of the output of Hungarian agriculture, food consumption and, last but not least, employment (the environmental factor was not examined this time) has been clearly confirmed. The role and significance of this group have also been exceedingly important since EU accession, particularly in the fields of horticulture and animal husbandry, and the strengthening of these positions is indisputably a national economic interest.

AbstractSlovak Slavistics has adopted the interdisciplinary research approach based on examining the processes involved in language, literature, history, culture, ethnics and religion. From a scholarly and investigative point of view, Slovak Slavistics is primarily concerned with researching Slovak and Slavic relations, and Slovak and non-Slavic relations. Although Slavistics at home and abroad has been affected by the recession, it maintains its role of accelerating systematic and comprehensive investigation. The priority of Slovak Slavistics, both in a domestic and international context, is to safeguard scholarly outputs and make them available in the competitive international arena. Ensuring continuity in Slavistic research is also important and is not merely a question of prestige, but is also a fundamental means of continually improving the quality of the academic discipline. Internationally recognised Slavistic research is conducted in collaboration with the Ján Stanislav Institute of Slavistics at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The institute sees modern Slavistics in Slovakia as having currency and exigency. Slovak Slavistic research is indispensable, provides continuity and constitutes an inseparable component of wider Central European and international Slavistic research.

Author is considering the role of state in the contemporary economy from the point of view of Marxist methodology that clarifies presentation of the points of disagreements which take place among scholars, and, also uses the potential of foreseeing in Marxism. In the paper the thesis is stated that contemporary state is focused on the realization of three main types of interests: the state apparatus (bureaucracy), the ruling class (capital) and society as a whole. The contradictions between these groups of interests are investigated and the different already realized variants of compromise between them are considered, as well as other possible variants of such a compromise. The positions of different schools and currents of economic thought are analyzed from the point of their orientation predominantly to this or that interests, protection and realization of which are included in the functions of the state. The main points of disputes on these questions are marked. On the basis of the highlighting the main interests being defended by state the idea of three forms of state is formulated: state-bureaucrat, statecapital and state-society. Author treats the development of economic functions of a state in the conditions of late capitalism as transformation of state itself into the functioning capitalist. From the point of view of historical development of the state functions, the probable shifts in these functions are treated as response to the challenges connected with the evolution of modern economy. For instance, the usage of newly formed post-market (or transitory to post-market) relations in the economic functions of state is investigated. These transitory post-market relations are increasing the potential possibilities to implement the state function of social interests’ representative. As one of the probable variants of possible evolution of contemporary state and the reasons for the shift into the liberal-conservative direction are analyzed, as well as the workable alternative for this shift.

It will examine the popular response to the growth of the foreign presence through expansion of foreign trade and the way Iranians handled their situation in a system that was dominated by Europeans. As trade grew in the late nineteenth century, so did the number and workload of karguzars.

The experience of the last decade in the formation of the existing structure of the national economy of Russia shows that in changing conditions, the relevance of reassessing the role of the fuel and energy complex (hereinafter – the FEC) in the foreign economic relations is growing in Russia. In addition, the FEC is of great importance for the Russian Federation not only from the point of view of foreign economic activity, but also from the point of view of the country's internal energy needs and the energy security of Russia as a whole, which necessitates a qualitative transformation, intensive development and diversification of this sphere. A key factor in the financial support of Russian energy companies is international leasing. The article presents the results of the study of legal, customs and tax aspects of regulating an international financial lease agreement (leasing), the current trends in leasing development.

Introduction: The concept of poverty is multifaceted. It develops along with the idea of growing importance of the individual in economic relations. Considering approaches to poverty in the context of various vectors of understanding, we can identify three main scientific directions of thought development: economic-sociological, psychological and political vectors. The paper considers the main features of the above-mentioned approaches with their contradictions and with special focus on the role of victimization within the vectors.Materials and methods: The methodology of the work is based on the general theoretical views of Russian and foreign authors pertaining to the concept of "poverty" and its significance in economic and political science. Psychological view is also studied.The results of the study: The presented vectors (economic-sociological, psychological, and political) are found to have some contradictions between them, either explicit or implicit. However comparing the approaches from the victimization point of view it is possible to say that the vectors in question complement each other, offering to the analysis new facets of victimization of the poor population which in turn go into the basis of poverty definitions. Therefore, it brings forward the question of the relationship between the identified types of victimization through the interdisciplinary approach’s perspective and/or in terms of their assessment.The studied vectors were also differentiated by the criterion of victimization. Thus, within the framework of the analysis of the political vector, the following understanding of poverty was introduced: poverty is a victimization state of a person, which determines their inability to use their civil rights. It can be assumed that the contradictions found will be solved by developing a general structure of interaction of the considered vectors that explains the mechanisms of mutual influence of the considered vectors, covers all aspects of "poverty" and reflects the ways of interaction of different victimization types with respect to different vectors and/or in general.Discussion and conclusion: The study of poverty in economic-sociological, political or psychological perspective requires not only scientific differentiation, but also a terminological differentiation with respect to legal definitions, in particular, pertaining to the poor, very poor (almspersons) and indigent population.

It has been almost universally adopted that dissolution of solids proceeds with development of uniform, continuous frontiers of reaction.However this point of view is doubtful / 1 /. E.g. we have proved the active role of the block (grain) boundaries in the main phases of cement, these boundaries being the areas of hydrate phases' nucleation / 2 /. It has brought to the supposition that the dissolution frontier of cement particles in water is discrete. It seems also probable that the dissolution proceeds through the channels, which serve both for the liquid phase movement and for the drainage of the incongruant solution products. These channels can be appeared along the block boundaries.In order to demonsrate it, we have offered the method of phase-contrast impregnation of the hardened cement paste with the solution of methyl metacrylahe and benzoyl peroxide. The viscosity of this solution is equal to that of water.
