It has been a quite long time since the Russia and Ukraine war has been going on and if we see the context of Geopolitics and International Relations we don't see a mediation between the two parties and ultimately the people of the two countries are facing the circumstances that arise by the governments.

Thanks.

What could be the possible solutions for a peaceful outcome of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine?

Puton has long stated he is in a war against the West, originally expressed in Cyber Warfare, which China conditionally supports: Modi of India, an apprentice tyrant, has long expressed prejudice against and defiance of the West, for the cessation of its hegemony, and at times, as recently, demonstrated his support of Putin.

African soldiers from countries often prejudiced against the West are now fighting in Ukraine, which they portray as an outlier of NATO following Putin's dire, mythical claims. Finally, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and North Korea.

Shouldn't we help Ukraine more?

The Central Court (sic) has paved Trump's path to the Presidency and the USA no doubt will, or ok, might, retread the path to lunacy, Orban will be temporarily head of Europe, Macron is under threat, so a number of new leaders will not necessarily be sympathetic to Ukraine and not really understand the consequences of backing off, apart from the likely death of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

I watched a rerun of Russia's first attacks on Ukraine and it was simply an attack on the civilian population, destroying tower blocks and civic buildings. If the US and Europe had given the weapons it needed, Ukraine, I suspect would have settled the matter early on.

.

If the new weaponry coming into Ukraine proves a tipping point, in line with the degradation of Russian society, how and when will Russia break up? Is the Eastern region the most vulnerable or those Turkic ethnic groups near Turkey?

During the Russia -Ukraine war and Israel - Gaza crises, recent tension between Israel & Iran is seem to continuation of another front of tension.

My question is on the Invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Are there available materials to discuss challenges to the doctrine of Sovereignty?

Realpolitics was Kissinger's area of expertise although it is easy to find fault with his approach, certainly as both delusion and simplification, but Kissinger developed American policies of the 1970s and 80s and many of the mistakes and illegitimate actions of the US can be placed at his door.

But he was Putin's mentor too, so was he responsible for both Vietnam, or its extension, Pol Pot, and Ukraine?

Russian Federation & the Ukraine

The greater emergence of authoritarianism in politics and society?

Authoritarian religions will gain greater political power?

The influence of the US will substantially decline?

America is substantially weakened?

A dark or darker age will descend overseeing the end of liberal values?

What in your opinion is going to be how the war is going to end? Would the Russians withdraw her troops and allow Ukraine to remain a Defacto member of NATO and the EU ?

This RG open question is linked to the previous about the dramatic evolution (partly unexplainable) of COVID19 in Northern Italy during wave 1.

The previous RG open question is reported below🔴 and resulted in a completely alternative model for the evolution🟨 of SARS-CoV/2 from pre-pandemic phase to pandemic phase.

In this specific RG question, the intention is to create an open discussion on the possible emergence of a violent outbreak of avian flu or similar in central Europe.

This concern arises from a qualitative model that links three events which in the past have always characterized the violent explosion of a bird flu or similar.

The model involves three steps.. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/367046404

This RG open question will serve to accumulate data both for and against this dire possibility.

Thanks to all the participants.

Russia's full-scale military aggression against Ukraine has been going on for almost 2 years. Some call this aggressive attack (in which hundreds of thousands of people have already died on both sides) obscure words "conflict", "special military operation", "denazification" and so on. I decided to start this discussion to see if the opinions and attitudes towards this aggression have changed on the part of representatives of world science (not only Russians and Ukrainians but also citizens of other countries) 2 years after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in Ukraine. Please provide your thoughts, impressions, and facts about what is happening in Ukraine now.

How do the refugee protection laws and policies of various countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and neighboring nations, address the specific challenges and rights of refugees affected by the conflicts in Ukraine and the Israel-Palestine region? What are the implications of these policies on the broader discourse of refugee rights and international humanitarian law?

How accurate is the political persuasion horseshoe argument in terms of individual rights? My answer: Both generally the far-right and generally the far-left show less concern for individual rights than modern liberals do(hence both their support or ignoring of Russia invading Ukraine. Also their combined disapproval of NATO). In order to have individual rights in practice, an economic basis must be awarded to each individual in terms prescribed by reciprocity and fairness. Thus, given Wagner's Law of growing economic externalities due to industrialization(part of the creation of the modern world due to human networking), modern liberalism is the most effective political system in maintaining individual rights.

What is politics?

Politics is balancing the interests of social groups and layers.

The groups are the distribution of the population by territories, states, ethnics, types of activity, genders.

The layers is the distribution of the population according to the levels of consumption.

The limitation of Marxism was that only inter-layer contradictions were recognized.

The limitations of fascism lay in the fact that calling for a class peace, group conflicts, namely, territorial, state and ethnic contradictions, were put forward in the first place.

In the early stages of the historical process, there were constant wars between the first tribal associations for land, slaves and robberies, i.e. overcoming intergroup contradictions.

This led to the absorption of most of the tribes by the most powerful of them. Thus, the empires of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Mohammed, and others were formed.

Thus, the reason for the emergence of empires is to protect their territory and further expansion. This reason continues to this day. To extinguish, in the empire, internal territorial and ethnic contradictions, internal territorial self-government is allowed - dominions.

There are currently two empires and a third is being born.

The first of these is the United States, which includes such dominions as Canada, Great Britain, the European Union and the rest of Europe, Japan, Australia and other small states around the world, as well as colonies such as Ukraine, directly controlled from Washington.

The second is the Russian Federation, which is on the defensive.

Even her former dominions seek to defect to the side of a wealthier enemy.

The third emerging world empire is China.

The logic of the development of these empires remains the same - protection and expansion.

Let's see who will take?

The bringing of North Koreans into a conflict the Russian army has been unable to win breaks all civilised conventions and ensure genocide in Ukraine. NATO would still be reluctant to get involved but the UN can call a Special Military Operation and at the same time arrange for the veto to be removed from Russia, a terrorist state.

Can we sit around and see Ukraine destroyed. If we do the processes we now see in the Near East will find their way into Europe, and elsewhere.

While preparing for my contribution to the Nanotexnology 2023 conference, I have noticed that submissions from researchers affiliated with state universities of the Russian Federation have been accepted for the international conference. This fact implies the sharing of the latest scientific knowledge despite the ongoing war started in 2022. I strongly disagree with this approach, and I personally distance myself from active scientific communication with researchers officially connected to state institutions of Russia. With its criminal activities in Ukraine, Russia is violating fundamental principles of the international community, and also destroying nature with a potentially global impact. Scientific communication that ignores this fact supports the technological progress of the state that destroys human values in general. Out of respect for the many Ukrainian scientists who have fallen victim to this war, I firmly reject the active transfer of scientific knowledge to scientists affiliated to Russian state institutions as a matter of principle.

This is meant to elicit some reflections on Putin's practices, directed mainly towards a domestic audience. My claim is that it not only directs his actual programme, the protection of Putin and his group, an aim fundamental to his regime, but also establishes the longevity of his planned invasion of Ukraine. By tracing changes in Putin's claims, the genesis of his invasion can be established. The false narratives can also be traced to changes in the group around Putin. Putin's first PM was, or appears not to have been, the type to accept such false narratives. The criminal nature of many of his later cabal, such as Prigozhin, have tended to degrade its political nature.

1) What Russia does is immediately situated on the actions of others. The Donbas was originally a Russian invasion and the shelling of civilian areas done by Russia (witness Chechnya, Georgia, Syria).

2) The criminal nature of Putin's cabal was fixed onto their victims, Chechnya, and Ukraine.

3) Russia has never attacked any other state.

4) The rewriting of history from ancient times to Stalin's reign.

While there are many more, if readers choose to deny than reasons must be given.

One of these leaders is from South Africa, which recently sent weapons to Russia. Are their intentions clear?

The Department of Analysis of marine ecosystems and anthropogenic impacts of the Ukrainian Scientific Center of Ecology of the Sea, where I work, is going to apply for EURIZON Fellowship and we need a partnership from European Union. Here are the details of the program https://indico.desy.de/event/38700/.  The deadline is on 8/05. The name of the project is " The investigation of small saline groundwater dependent ecosystems biodiversity the arid zone (Odesa region, Ukraine) and evaluation it pre-war conditions. ". We have an archive with samples of zoobenthos and zooplankton, collected at ~190 sampling points on different substrates within ~ 30 limnocrenes, rheocrenes and helocrenes with salinity over 5 ‰ different seasons during the free time 2017-2021. We are planning to use this archive for the EURIZON fellowship, but because of war, our institution has no opportunity to take new samples in the Black Sea and limans.

I have to several colleges from Finland and Germany, but now they can take part. So I hope for the help of RG community.

After Ukraine announced the beginning of the spring counter-offensive, and Moscow announced an attack on the Kremlin targeting the assassination of President Putin, is this an indication that we are on the verge of a greater escalation in the Russian-Ukrainian war?

The question of transliteration (transcription) from Ukrainian Cyrillic to Latin in scientific texts is something that each Ukrainian researcher faced in his life. However, I could not find a perfect solution, so I am asking for your opinion.

Previously, for the transliterations of Ukrainian texts, I used transliteration rules from 27.01.2010 (http://ukrlit.org/transliteratsiia), which are known in Ukraine but not always understandable for foreigners. E.g. my previous surname was also transliterated using this standard (Дарія Ширяєва -> Dariia Shyriaieva, and to be honest, I do not know any foreigner who can read my name correctly using this official transliteration, especially the four vowels in the line "iaie"...)

So, it was not an ideal option, but I was used to it, and it is an accepted transliteration. That's why I defended this transliteration in my discussions with others.

However, I see that many people follow the ISO 9 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9) as an international standard, which also seems not ideal to me (at least the last version). Also, recently I found the mention of a new transliteration standard (quite a strange one!): "DSTU 9112:2021. Cyrillic-Latin transliteration and Latin-Cyrillic retransliteration of Ukrainian texts. Writing rules" (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%A1%D0%A2%D0%A3_9112:2021).

Could you please explain how you transliterate Ukrainian texts, which standard you use and why?

Thank you very much!

Can you please tell me where can I read the requirements for a PhD thesis in the USA, Germany, France? (in the field of psychology)

In Ukraine, there are some requirements for the number of pages. Or, for example, when I was writing my Ph.D. dissertation, I needed confirmation from private or government organizations that reviewed the results of my dissertation.

I would like to know what are the differences between Ukraine and the USA, Germany, France.

A few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the updated version of the Russian strategy, which coincides with the intensification of the war with Ukraine and hostility with the West, especially the United States of America, and the strengthening of relations with China. What, in your opinion, are the implications of this new strategy regionally and globally?

What are the key challenges and opportunities for fostering sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation in Ukraine, and how can they be effectively addressed to promote sustainable economic growth?

Arms exports to Ukraine have been controversial, supporters argue that Ukraine has the right to defend itself against Russian aggression. However, opponents argue that the arms exports could escalate the conflict and lead to further bloodshed. What is the role of western arms exporting countries in Russia-Ukraine war?

Social networks, as we all know, make it easy for us to be connected with a multitude of people or groups from different parts of the world.

But how necessary is the domain of ICT for job search?

Hi everyone!

I'm going to use the process tracing method to explain the mechanisms of defense provision in Ukraine from 1991 to 2013. The independent variables are Winning coalition size and State capacity.

Could do you recoomend the literature which help to understand how to develop expected evidence satisfying the conditions of Steven van Ever's system of tests?

I am starting the research "Peculiarities of territorial community management in wartime conditions"

The aim of the research

Conduct a thorough study of the principles of community functioning in wartime conditions. To develop methodological recommendations for the management of the territorial community in wartime conditions, to substantiate the strengthening of the vertical of power and the transition to a centralized system of community management in wartime conditions. Threats and possibilities of the increased influence and power of the chairman on community activities. Development of interaction of the vertical of community power with state authorities, military administrations, deputies, public organizations and the populations.

We're working on the description of turtle shell fragments from the late Miocene of Ukraine. There are some unusual traces (shallow parallel grooves) on the dorsal surface of one of the specimen. We tentatively interpreted these traces as rodent tooth marks. Could someone suggest any publications where such traces on either fossil of extant turtle shell are described/figured or at least mentioned. Thank you very much in advance!

Hi all,

Looking for any reliable statistics on how sports participation looked like in Ukraine prior to the war. I can't seem to find any reasonable numbers on this, at least not in English. Appreciate any help I can get.

Best,

Tony

Greetings to all colleagues! I am a doctoral student from Ukraine. I am writing a scientific dissertation on social intelligence in HR (recruitment, adaptation of employees in the team, strengthening economic security of business).

I am looking for like-minded people all over the world to research this topic together. I would be grateful for your advice, recommendations, ideas!

United Nations reports seem to indicate that we are not going to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for three reasons: - climate change, - War in Ukraine - Covid

What do you think?

The SDG7 seeks to ensure access to clean, affordable and sustainable energy for all. The fuelwood crisis in the 70s/80s was triggered by the Arab-Israeli War (the 1973/4 oil crisis) when astronomical increases in prices of petroleum products especially LPG led to a dramatic increase in the demand for cheaper cooking fuels such as firewood and charcoal. The COVID 19 pandemic coupled with the Russia Ukraine war has sparked another global energy crisis similar to what happened in the 70s. Is another fuelwood crisis looming? If yes what can be done to prevent it?

How can we define, from a built environment perspective, mainly in architectural and urbanistic terms, the spaces of war? I use spaces because I am looking not only at the core of the destruction, at the fight theater, but also at the transformation of space/built environment at the largest scale possible. Like, for example, the anti-atomic shelters that are present, and still compulsory for many buildings across the planet, or the impulse to build or adapt the houses in order to become autonomous in terms of energy. We recently witnessed a vivid debate and somehow inconclusive debate, accompanied by a plethora of dramatic scenarios about the transformation of space - from the domestic space to cities and territories -, during the first wave of the Covid pandemic, but there is not much theoretical debate now, though since Russia attacked Ukraine millions fled, cities were destroyed, Europe prepares for a cold winter without gas, etc. I wonder what is to learn from these events and if we have the same capacity to build scenarios and observe the transformation of our habitat (I live in Romania) under the pressure of war, and of course to understand the interplay of fragility and resilience in the case of localities in Ukraine.

On March 17, 2022, the Presidium of the NAS of Ukraine considered and approved the appeal of the NAS of Ukraine to the leadership of the International Association of Academies of Sciences to clearly state its position and condemn the unprovoked military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

In its response, the IAEA effectively distanced itself from any condemnation of the actions of the Russian aggressor. The Association did not react to the bombing of peaceful cities and the destruction of civilian, including scientific, infrastructure, did not show any support for the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, our citizens and our state. This position of the IAU is radically different from that of a large number of international scientific organizations, associations, research centers, foreign academies of science, individual scientists and just people of good will who have condemned Russia's military aggression against a peaceful country and expressed their support for the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. to the Ukrainian people.

In view of this, the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine decided to withdraw the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine from the International Association of Academies of Sciences.

The COVID 19 pandemic coupled with the Russia Ukraine war has disrupted global supply chains and negatively affected global economic growth with Agriculture and industry sectors being the worst affected. The fundamental question arising is,

Should the SDGs be revised to reflect current realities?

For almost five months I have been looking through the prominent web-sites devoted to the theory of complexity, agent-based modelling, system-dynamics, etc. The theory of complexity has announced itself as a new way of thinking, new science that could meet the challenges of our time. At the same time there is no attention (at all) to the events in Ukraine. Is it really far from the interests of the theory of complexity? First of all, I mean the processes of self-organization, emergence, the crises, the scenarios of development, synergetic effects and so on.

For the research project we are looking for additional information about the highest settlements in the Carpathians of four countries (Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia)!

Please can anyone help me with a good research topic

Poland has suggested Russia's exclusion from the G20 group, while China opposes it. Should the group's democratic members boycott the planned events as long as Russia continues its war of aggression in Ukraine?

Where are independent higher education research centres specialising in TRUE Orthodox Christianity, not to be confused with Orthodox Christianity ? True Orthodox Christianity rejects the modernism with its roots in the Russian and earlier Revolutions, including the paracanonical (canonically impermissible) calendar reforms promulgated by incomplete Robber Synods starting with the Patriarchate of Constantinople in the 1920s and the genocide of True (aka Authentic, Genuine or Catacomb) Orthodox Christianity by modernist Orthodox Christianity, resulting ultimately in the response of the True Orthodox Christian 1983 Anathema against Ecumenism by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) aka Russian Orthodox Church in Exile (ROCIE), embraced by all True, Authentic, Genuine and Catacomb Orthodox Christians. The True Orthodox genocide is numerically by far the greatest Christian martyrdom ever, with tens of millions in the former Russian Empire alone (a large majority of the 110 million "The Economist" estimates were murdered by the Soviet regime alone), was triggered by the refusal of the World Council of Churches, meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to allow a Greek True Orthodox bishop to speak about this matter, though the New York Times published his proposed address. In response the anathema was promulgated, in English, the WCC official language, at the ROCOR Synodical meeting at their monastery in Mansonville, Québec, also in Canada. Despite making up between 1 and 10% of the Orthodox Christian populations, in the broad sense of the term, throughout the world, I have been, even as an interested True Orthodox Christian, been unable to find any state recognised study centres devoted to the study of True Orthodox Christianity, as opposed to Orthodox Christianity. Some institutions, such as Cambridge University's Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies claim to have all locally active Orthodox Synods represented on their governing bodies, but didn't respond to my request for the publicly available details of the True Orthodox Christian Synods represented there. In any event, that Institute is not an Institute of TRUE Orthodox Christian studies.

It would be useful for scientists from Ukraine to share their experience of participating in the noble competition of the Austrian Academy of Sciences JESH Ukraine, aimed to supporting them at this difficult time. Such a discussion will allow us to understand how the system of competitions at the Academy works and, thanks to this, to increase the effectiveness of our research.

So, my personal experience:

My application "Next generation structural materials for extreme applications ‒ materials with maximum fracture resistance and weight efficiency" with letters of support worthy of a monument in the center of Vienna was accepted for consideration, but its result turned out to be negative with the wording - "due to the high number of applications". Very elegant humour. Bravo. It's like telling an athlete that he didn't get a medal because there were too many participants in the competition :-)

It is well known that evaluation criteria in science are much more complicated than in sports.

After that, having studied in detail the conditions of the competition, I did not find the criteria for evaluating applications. It turns out that this contest is just a "game without rules".

I turned to the Academy with a request to inform at least where the names of the winning applications will be published, even without explaining the parameters by which they were chosen. They answered me: "names of applications approved by JESH Ukraine will not be published for privacy reasons".

Without knowing the criteria for evaluating applications and the names of the winning applications, it is impossible to understand the scientific or other priorities of the Academy in supporting certain applications and assess the feasibility of participating in its "competitions". It turns out that today we know more about the structure of Black Holes than about the principles of the JESH Ukraine contest except that information/light cannot leave them.

Self-publishing of application titles that were supported or not supported, will allow us to understand the priorities and possible criteria of the Academy ourselves and not waste time and effort on preparing applications that are obviously not passable, as well as exempt the Academy from considering applications in scientific areas that Academy does not develop or support.

Millions are now suffered due to war in Ukraine ,so do we need for more peace between Russia and Ukrainian ,why not to negotiate rather to destroy cities and kill innocent peoples? What we should do to solve tragedy ?

Dear colleagues, friends! Having launched a full-scale war against our country, Russia hoped for its rapid occupation, the destruction of our sovereignty, national and human dignity. However, we are able to defend ourselves on all possible fronts. Ukrainians are demonstrating real heroism, unknown before consolidation of people, army and government, desire to defend the chosen path of freedom and Euro-Atlantic integration. In different ways, the world helps us to endure and win. Do not stay away from the global battle of good and evil, democracy and tyranny, mind and madness. We are ready to provide the results of the monitoring of our actions, which is constantly conducted by our experts (attached to this letter). KNEU is open for any kind of cooperation to stop the war and rebuild the economy of Ukraine.

This question relates to assessing of scientific interest in researching changes in Ukrainian public administration framework during the ongoing martial status.

In particular, I'm looking for co-authors who are interested in the topic. Potentially, the research may be devoted to analyse of the following issues:

- public administration legal framework during martial status in Ukraine;

- changes in the legal status of public authorities at national and local level;

- changes in status of local communities during martial status in Ukraine;

- the role and functions of civil society organizations and volunteers during the establishment of martial status.

If you are interested in the above topic or may propose your ideas please provide your opinion.

Dear distinguished colleague,

Recently we have started comparative global research that we have started recently on 'Students' perception on the Russia-Ukraine war 2022' (link to the website: http://www.covidsoclab.org/russia-ukraine-war-2022/), covering various economic and social effects of this war. The global comparative analysis helps us formulate the most useful recommendations for policymakers.

If you are interested in participating (as a contact person and a potential co-author of a joint paper, do let me know to give you further guidelines – see also research guidelines on the webpage: http://www.covidsoclab.org/russia-ukraine-war-2022/research-guidelines/). Your main task at this stage would be to motivate students from your institution (or wider in the country) to complete the online questionnaire by 30 April 2022 at the latest (here is only a preview link: https://1ka.arnes.si/a/60ee60a0&preview=on). When we have the results, we will analyse and compare them (between countries included in our study - then is a plan to prepare academic article(s) relating to different (e.g., economic and social aspects) of the Russia-Ukraine war 2022 together with the analysed results of our questionnaire survey). You will also receive data from your country/institution in order to deploy it in further research. The detailed dissemination plan will be finalised later according to the interests of international partners.

If your time is limited and do not allow you to fully join at this moment, we would kindly ask you if you could motivate and share a link with your students to fill out the questionnaire (please, do see a message and a link for students below) and we will be happy to provide you with the data/result/report for your institution.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me in case of any further queries.

As of April 11, 2022, more than 37 million square meters of housing have been destroyed in Ukraine. More than 1.6 million residents are in urgent need of a housing solution.

What do you think is more appropriate:

1. construction of temporary cheap housing to urgently resolve the issue, followed by the formation of a modern comfortable living environment in the cleared areas;

or

2. immediately build modern comfortable residential buildings but for a longer period of time

Today there is no an alternative to the concept of sustainable development. Co-evolutionary paradigm is a theoretical and methodological basis for sustainable development of the “biosphere – society” system that is possible through creating the biosphere reserves, ecological network, reserve management, and use of renewable resources (solar, wind, wave, geothermal). Establishing an ecological network actually improves the condition biogeocenosis of Ukraine due to: stabilization of the hydrological regime (protection of surface and groundwater), stop of erosion, improvement of soil, conservation of renewable resources, maintenance of the balance in the natural processes, support of the natural migration of species and biota, reduction in pollution of the environment. However, we can expect positive changes in social and economic plan: historic preservation and development of environmentally friendly forms of farming (apiculture, fish farming, organic animal husbandry, and horticulture), optimization of the use of different areas and their spatial location in the environmental context, creation of comfortable for health living conditions.

What is advisable to do ? It is important for society to have time to realize that the reduction of the natural landscape and biological diversity to buffer threshold value eliminates the stability of the environment that can be restored only through the creation of sewage treatment plants, low-waste production or organic farming.

Аccording to the analysis of literary sources the Fibonacci numbers and the regularity called «golden average»/«golden section» were analyzed. Сybernetic principle of ecosystems genetic memory as biotic diversity was characterized. The combination of the gene pool of biodiversity within the biosphere should be interpreted advisable as a regulatory mechanism for maintaining homeostasis of this mega ecosystem. The first time the possibility of transition to sustainable (balanced) development of «biosphere – society» system based on the principles of the «golden section» was researched, which provides for mandatory the ratio between cultural and natural landscapes at 62% and 38% respectively. It means that biosphere reserves of biological and landscape diversity (resuscitation area of the biosphere) should be created on 38% of the territory of the planet), and other 62% should be occupied by artificial agro and urboecosystems with balanced nature usage.

It is advisable to stick to the concept of natural «golden section», which mandates the relationship between cultural and natural landscapes of the planet at 62 % and 38 % respectively. Humanity must go to the autotrophy. Today it is growing the adapted to adverse environmental conditions plants and receiving high-calorie, high- protein foods. The most important fact is that a human is destined to go down the food chain including the consumption of soy protein rather than to lose 90 % of the energy of food to feed the animals.

It is expedient for humanity (only intelligent sapiens) to listen to the wisdom of nature ("Nature knows best") and move to a balanced use of nature on the basis of coevolutionary symbiotic coexistence of the "society-biosphere" system, where the biosphere is the master and man is the symbiotic consumer. We consider the coevolutionary paradigm as a theoretical and methodological substantiation of the possibility of sustainable development

Do you think that large-scale exploitation of shale gas would be a solution to alleviate the energy crisis which seems to be taking hold? What support measures should be put in place to mitigate its impact on health, on water resources and on the environment in general? What are the research efforts and technological developments that would be necessary to undertake to anticipate and prepare the ground for large-scale exploitation of shale gas throughout the world? what would be the legislative and regulatory provisions to be put in place as a priority to control the associated risks?

Hello, for an article I am looking for maps of the Crimean peninsula (ideally textbooks or atlases) from Russia and Ukraine to compare. Does anyone have appropriate materials or know of suitable contacts (textbook publishers or universities)? Best regards.

Any arguments for or against hypothetical membership of Ukraine in the European Union would be appreciated. These comments may be used to generate future research and discussion within the graduate EU studies at my University.

The study is conducted on the example of applicants (students) from Ukraine. The survey involves finding out the reasons and motives for the formation of the idea of a higher educational institution, including the prospects that can be obtained during the study and after graduation. This topic does not cease to be relevant, as the reform in the educational sphere of Ukraine involves a total reduction of higher educational institutions. In turn, geographically close countries, actively use recruiting and increase the number of attracted foreign students, including students from Ukraine. The topic is more in-depth, including assimilation, addressing the issue of economic stability, and others.

Looking at the distribution of detected and recorded deaths in countries around the world, we can conclude that more globalized countries are more affected by the new virus (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/). First and foremost, the virus has hit the countries most economically related to China. These are the G7 countries and their closest partners (and Iran). Developed countries obviously have the most outsourced production in China. Accordingly, they have many business trips to China. Good wages of developed countries give citizens great freedom to travel the world (in particular, to exotic China).

And first of all, these free people brought the virus to their friends, relatives and colleagues.

In developed countries, the authorities cannot restrict the freedom of citizens, as in China, for example. This is probably why the virus has spread rapidly to Europe and the United States at the beginning.

Second- and third-tier countries have received a small amount of time because they are much less affiliated with China. They currently have an order or two orders of magnitude fewer deaths. Yet. Whether the second and third tier countries will be able to keep deaths low is another question. Will see. In these countries (like Ukraine, Mexico), the health system is weak. Will strict quarantine rules and greater control by the authorities be a social deterrent to the virus. Will see. If a third-tier country erupts into the virus, as in developed countries, there will probably be a collapse and defenseless paramedics will run away. Will it be, we will see soon.

Hello dear scientists,

I suggest to answer here those people who can be a reviewer for a book/monograph in accounting, taxation, auditing or statistics fields in English or German.

It will help us to create a community for each other in the future 😉

Best regards.

Dear researchers!

After reviewing your achievements in the "Coordination complexes for biology" project, I realized that our group at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is engaged in similar studies.

In my profile there is an article Stability of fullerene complexes with oxazoles as biologically active compounds, we are now preparing to publish the development of pharmacophore complexes with proteins using the example of the formation of a pi-stack with phenylalanine, tryptophan; the formation of hydrogen bonds of pharmacophores for histidine and lysine.

Maybe you will be interested in mutual cooperation?

Thanks.

This liana grows in the greenhouse of O.V. Fomin Botanical Garden of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine). The plant has been introduced from Botanical Garden in Batumi (Georgia), where it was also undetermined.

Many thanks in advance.

Dear colleagues!

I am interested in the process of transferring vibrations up to 250 mm from a stationary electro-mechanical vibrator to a rotating toroidal metal shell.

I'm looking for data on carbon footprint/global warming potential of various grain in Russia and the Ukraine.

Mainly data on maize, wheat, barley, rye and also oil crops: sunflower and rapeseed would be much appreciated.

Dear Colleagues,

Economic policy in the European Union's Eastern and Southern neighborhood is embedded in the frameworks offered by EU's enlargement and neighborhood policies. Under these frameworks, regional development and policy play a significant role, as is evident in the current introduction of the smart specialization approach to regional innovation policy in the Western Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, and Tunisia. Further approaches of regional development relevant to EU enlargement and neighborhood countries include the LEADER/CLLD approach, and building capacities in organizations such as regional development agencies according to experiences made in EU member states represents an important complement for the introduction of policy approaches. In this context, the special issue seeks contributions that deal with aspects of regional analysis, policy approaches, and institutional or organizational questions in EU enlargement or neighborhood countries and their regions.

REGATEC revolves around renewable methane including landfill gas and 2019 takes place 20-21 May in Malmo, Sweden.

Landfill gas poster presenters from the Baltic countries and Europe's Eastern Partnership ((Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) are eligible for reimbursement of the conference fee and the travel and hotel cost up to a maximum of 900 EUR/person.

For more info: www.regatec.org/posters

Are there any other conference related to energy gas technology where you can particiapte for free and get your travel and hotel cost reimbursed?

I have been tasked to write a media report about a conflict (in my case the annexation of Crimea) for an assignment due soon.

I have decided to compare The following documentaries:

Crimea for Dummies by Russia Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xURFKxliGh8

Ukraine Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU6wFr9pwZE

Select a suitable method, or productive combination of methods, to analyse this (whether, for example, content analysis, semiotics or another form of visual analysis, critical linguistics or discourse analysis).

What method would you recommend to analyse and compare the two? I’ve looked at a content analysis, but the methodologies and their results (formulas, symbols and numbers etc.) have completely discombobulated me.

I also have also not got a clue on how to create a code book, since i’ve struggled to find a single study which compares two visual documentaries like above.

I have been been told to explain why these broadcasters. I have done already done this. but I’ve also been told that I could “Maybe - differing accounts of the rationale for war? different thematic focus’ and what this may mean/suggest? Different voices in play, and what this may mean etc/“

I am stressed out and am feeling extremely stupid at this present time.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am a soil scientist and ecologist, and I am interested in application of IT and GIS technologies to this problem investigation.
