Since 1975 the Club of cavers based at Novosibirsk State University has performed an extra-ordinary method of caver training. Serious rock-climbing preparation and technical mountaineering with a background of intensive physical coaching have resulted in the discovery of large cave systems on the Altai and Sayan ranges. Overcoming high walls up inside the caves using free climbing and the use of aid techniques from alpinism was mandatory. Mountaineering skills allowed us to investigate plateaus on high altitudes on Zeravshanskiy (Mount Patroush) and Gissarskiy (Mount Hodja-Ahcha-Baroun) ranges, as well as pseudo karst in the vicinity of Khan-Tengri, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua peaks, combined with geological surveying and prospecting. For all times the philosophical aspects of fair play in sports was an inherent part in our activity. The digital presentation of underground mapping and structures monitoring on surface made possible to discover a tectonic-geomorphologic speleogenesis of conglomerate caves of the Narva’s suite (Siberia, Manskiy trough). The most outstanding caves of the massif are Big Oreshnaya and Badjeiskaya, and unique as their length is about 50 km and 10 km respectively, while in general, there is no significant development of caves in such rocks in the world. Our geomorphologic observations show the presence of large linear faults, which played an obvious role in karstogenesis, and the presence of signs of near-surface cave levels, which have not been discovered yet.   Desde 1975, el Club de espeleólogos con sede en la Universidad Estatal de Novosibirsk ha llevado a cabo un método extraordinario de formación de espeleólogos. Una seria preparación de escalada en roca y montañismo técnico con un fondo de entrenamiento físico intensivo han dado como resultado el descubrimiento de grandes sistemas de cuevas en las cordilleras de Altai y Sayan. La superación de altas paredes en el interior de las cuevas mediante la escalada libre y el uso de técnicas de ayuda del alpinismo era obligatoria. Los conocimientos de alpinismo nos permitieron investigar las mesetas de gran altura en las cordilleras Zeravshanskiy (Monte Patroush) y Gissarskiy (Monte Hodja-Ahcha-Baroun), así como el pseudokarst en las cercanías de los picos Khan-Tengri, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, combinados con la topografía y la prospección geológica. En todo momento los aspectos filosóficos del juego limpio en el deporte fueron parte inherente a nuestra actividad. La presentación digital de la cartografía subterránea y el seguimiento de las estructuras en la superficie permitieron descubrir una espeleogénesis tectónica-geomorfológica de las cuevas de conglomerado del conjunto de Narva (Siberia, la depresión Manskiy). Las cuevas más destacadas del macizo son Big Oreshnaya y Badjeiskaya, y únicas ya que su longitud es de unos 50 km y 10 km respectivamente, mientras que, en general, no hay un desarrollo significativo de cuevas en tales rocas en el mundo. Nuestras observaciones geomorfológicas muestran la presencia de grandes fallas lineales, que desempeñaron un papel evidente en la karstogénesis, y la presencia de indicios de niveles de cuevas cercanos a la superficie, que aún no han sido descubiertos.

UDC 336.74   Vasylenko Artur, post-graduate student. Mariupol State University. Cryptocurrency Phenomenon in the International Monetary System. The main prerequisites of cryptocurrency emergence in the international monetary system in terms of regionalization of the world economy are defined in the article. Determination of «cryptocurrency» category was analysed from the point of two main approaches to its treatment: on the one hand cryptocurrency is admitted to be the currency equally to the sovereign currency, and on the other hand it is considered as an unrecognized virtual asset. The main consequences which arise in case of widespread use of crypto currency for the country and for the parties that agreed to use cryptocurrency were analysed and systematized. On the basis of the research, given the current trends in the world economy, the author put forward and substantiated the hypothesis to classify the phenomenon of cryptocurrency as the effects of a famous philosophical «Negation of negation law» formulated by G. Hegel at the beginning of the XIX century.   Keywords: cryptocurrency, material money, electronic money, digital currency, regional currency integration, blockchain, mining, capitalization, «Negation of negation law».

This section contends with a central irony: Americans are among the most competitive people in the world, and yet we are among the least likely to play competitive sports in adulthood. This exercise gap is usually treated as a public health problem; the goal of this section is to treat it as a social and cultural concern. The conclusion therefore investigates the social and political implications of an American tendency to outsource physical play to experts: higher levels of fear, increased preoccupation with success at all costs, decreased creativity, and increasing rigidity of perspective and position. Specifically, the conclusion maintains that a neglect of fair play has dire consequences for democracy, a suggestion born out by the recent swing toward right-wing populism in politics.

The article discusses the use of live plants as the botanical exposition component supplement of the “Natural areas” (hall № 17 “Natural zonality and its components” and № 20 “Desert, subtropical, tropical countries, high-altitude zone”) and “Physico-georaphic regions” (hall № 24 “Continents and parts of the world”) departments in order to visualize information presented in the Earth Science Museum. Demonstration of plants originating from different regions of the world representing different life forms and being structural components of various plant communities allows to visually characterizing thematic aspects of an exposition. That in turn reveal such principles of systematic nature organization as ecobiomorphic and phytocenotic.

Abstract This study aims to determine (1) the profile of the graduate, (2) the absorption of graduate in the world of work, (3) the use of knowledge gained by the graduate in the work, (4) the assessment of stakeholders on the ability of graduate. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Data collection uses research instruments. The population in this study was Graduate from the major of Information, Library, and Archives of Padang State University (PS IPK UNP). The sample in this study amounted to 105 graduates who returned the instrument. The results showed, First, the profile of Graduate PS IPK UNP was dominated by female graduates. Most of the graduates are graduates who graduated in 2018. Judging from the length of the study period, the average graduate has a length of the study period of 3 years. Second, the absorption of graduates in the workforce is quite high, with most graduates stating that they are currently working with the time needed to get the job <3 months. Third, the use of knowledge obtained by a graduate at the PS IPK UNP in employment is very high. The science that has a very high level of wear is fieldwork learning, technology mastery skills, and the ability to cooperate in teams. Fourth, the assessment of graduate users (stakeholders) on the ability to graduate in the work world has also been good. The ability of the graduate to be considered good by graduate users (stakeholders) is integrity, expertise based on the fields of science, mastery of information technology, and teamwork.Keywords: Information retrieval, graduate, tracer study

During the last centuries, numerous books and papers were published on Armenian art in different collections of the world. Still there is an ocean of work to do in this field to fill in the gaps of the history of Armenian art. The members of the Chair of Armenian Art History and Theory at Yerevan State University were the first to carry out a systematic work in Romania in 2011-2017 and Iran in 2015-2019 exploring the Armenian miniatures, icons, wall paintings, silverwork, textiles etc. The results of this work were presented as papers during the conferences and published as articles.

The researches of shock-wave processes in the constructional materials are actual, but carrying out of natural experiments is extremely inconvenient and expensive, and sometimes it is even impossible to replicate. Therefore basically all researches of these problems are reduced to various cases of simulation of processes for high-speed loading of materials in the laboratory circumstances. In the paper we consider following directions of mathematical simulation of processes for high-speed loading of materials that were made on department of physical mechanics of St. Petersburg State University: the simulation of shock-loaded media by using of dynamics of dislocations; the simulation of high-speed loading of media with the account of the relaxation phenomena in a near-surface region; the simulation of propagation of the short elastoplastic impulse in medium under the condition of influence of a weak magnetic field; the generation of mathematical models of deformation and destruction of thin metal rings by a magnetic-pulse method; the simulation of crack propagation during the short-term pulse loading.
