The tendencies and prospects of the Russian economy development as an energy net-exporter country are considered in the context of perspective supply-demand dynamics in the world energy markets. Medium- and long-term prospects of oil and gas prices dynamics as one of the key factors of economic growth in Russia in the post-crisis period are analyzed. It is shown that due to predicted slowing of the world energy demand growth rates and strengthening in this connection of the competition in the traditional Russian markets the dual Russian economy character (it is not only a producer, but also a rather intensive consumer of energy) makes the problem of internal economy diversification very urgent. A conclusion is made that it is necessary to carry out preventive measures aimed at accelerated transformation of the Russian gas sector (or in addition to the oil sector) into a major factor of economic growth.
During the formation of world aviation, the personal factor was of great importance. History preserves the names of aviation pioneers who tried to realize the dream of human flight. Especially significant today is the origin and development of mechanical (aerodynamic) flight methods. And the role of scientists who have laid the knowledge base on the flight of fixed-wing aircraft (airplanes) is paramount here. We know and remember those whom success has not spared. But hundreds of crashed and ruined, but not conquered aircraft designers still remain in the shadow of history. Therefore, research is still relevant about those whom we should still consider the first, and about those who repeated and improved the principles of human flight on heavier-than-air vehicles.
The article analyzes the results of post-Soviet Russian studies of such negative forms of juvenile deviance in Russia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries as crime, suicide, prostitution, and alcoholism. Despite the growing interest in this topic during the period under review, it did not fully take shape as an independent academic problem. In post-Soviet historiography, the prevailing conclusion is that the level of criminalization of the representatives of the age group under consideration increased during the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. Some authors associate this trend mainly with the effect of socio-economic factors (O.I. Pospelova, E.V. Mishina, etc.), while other researchers believe that such prerequisites for the deterioration of the criminal situation as the crisis of traditional values and social regulators, political instability, and Russia's participation in military conflicts were of no less importance (N.A. Zotkina, O.V. Harseeva, etc.). B.N. Mironov excludes the possibility of a negative impact of socio-economic processes on the criminal situation in the post-reform period. Some features of research positions are revealed in the explanation of the causes of the "epidemic of school suicides" at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The generally recognized prerequisites for this deviation can be considered the imperfection of the school education system, and problems in the family and in personal relationships with peers. S.A. Zavrazhin, M.V. Egorova and I.V. Sinova believe that one should also consider the disappointment in the results of the First Russian Revolution. A.B. Lyarsky names such factors of suicidal behavior as the peculiarities of the outlook of the Russian intelligentsia and participants in the revolutionary movement, protest, the "fashion" for suicide, the distance between representatives of different generations in a bourgeois family, and the age characteristics of schoolchildren. Modern researchers recognize the problem of child and adolescent prostitution in the pre-revolutionary period.
Experiments for treating soil contaminated with oil and petroleum products using electric current in laboratory conditions using graphite and ruthenium titanium electrodes were carried out. The main purpose of the study was to study the dynamics of temperature changes during soil treating. The obtained and analyzed results allowed us to draw conclusions about the influence of various factors on the soil treating and the efficiency of using graphite and ruthenium titanium electrodes. The greatest resistance is observed in the central zone of the electrochemical cell. Closer to the electrodes, the resistance decreases, which contributes to a more efficient electrochemical treating process in these areas. Modern methods of data analysis, including statistical analysis and visualization of results, were used in the work, which made it possible to obtain more accurate and reliable results and draw conclusions about the possibility of using this technology for practical purposes.
Now that Russia's Special Military Operation in Ukraine has entered its third year, we can conclude that, like any major war of the past several centuries, it has confounded many predictions, theories, and assumptions. Its initiators, participants, and observers, on both sides, have been faced with that which they did not expect or plan for. Two years of fighting have revealed the contours of revolutionary changes in military theory and practice, possibly predetermining the character of war for the entire 21st century.
Overall overview of current economic situation in Russia and in the world and possible scenarios of future economic development are presented in the paper. The analysis of GDP slowdown factors shows that the fall in excess inventories, accumulated in 2007—2008, accounts for more than 2/3 of GDP reduction in Russia. It is noted that instruments used by the government are weakening each other and do not allow to achieve internal and external equilibrium simultaneously in the future. Two possible anti-crisis economic policies (which are also behind the differences in two scenarios) are considered — countercyclical and anti inflation ones, their advantages and drawbacks are examined. The conclusion is made that countercyclical policy is now more favorable, which seems also to be a government choice. Nevertheless, anti-inflation policy directed to shrink monopolies power is necessary in both scenarios.
The inflation dynamics is a key factor in macroeconomic and social stability, having a direct impact on all structural proportions in the economy and the well-being of the population. This is especially noticeable during periods of acute shocks and crises. This article is an attempt to understand the inflationary consequences of the recent non-economic crisis associated with the coronavirus pandemic. The global nature of this crisis, as well as its impact on all sectors of the economy and spheres of economic relations, provide rich material for the analysis. The geopolitical aggravation and large-scale sanctions against Russia in 2022 have become a new shock for the entire economic system, creating a trail of new inflationary effects at the global level and especially within Russia. The presence of a significant number of similarities between the two crises retains the relevance of a rigorous analysis of the coronacrisis and its lessons, despite the radical change in the situation due to the onset of the sanctions crisis.

We review top quark physics, and discuss the flavor aspects of several extensions of the standard model, such as supersymmetry, little Higgs models or models with extra dimensions. This includes discovery aspects, as well as the measurement of several properties of these heavy states. We also present publicly available computational tools related to this topic.
