The article is based on the research in mobile applications markets. The distribution of market power in these markets depends on the ability of a digital ecosystem's owner to control the handling of mobile applications inside the ecosystem. The degree of this control is determined by the substitutability of different application stores as necessary facilities for the access to mobile applications. The authors provide the survey-based empirical estimates of such substitutability for Apple's mobile application store — App Store. The results of further tests for market boundaries delineation confirm the embeddedness of final users in Apple's ecosystem in absence of feasible opportunities to change the operating system and, consequently, the application store. The findings explain the degree of Apple's market power and provide grounds for antitrust intervention.

The sociological study of volunteerism typically uses a definition which includes all possible types of free, unpaid activities which benefit other people. Such an approach transforms the very phenomenon of volunteerism into an analytical tool for studying various fields of economic and social life: degrees of development of civil society, employment structure, features of a certain economic mode. Regardless, the use of such a definition when researching volunteer movements presents certain problems. Multiple critics point out that such an approach towards understanding volunteerism, on one hand, leads to various types of volunteer activity being excluded from the scope of research, namely those which do not fully comply with the aforementioned criteria of free choice and gratuitousness; on the other hand, it waters down the concept of volunteerism, by merging it with other forms of civil action, such as political activism. Furthermore, most studies exhibit a tendency towards highlighting volunteerism as a special type of action, which possesses persistent intrinsic characteristics regardless of the field in which it is being undertaken. Such an approach results in a complete lack of care for certain essential features of various types of those productive activities which volunteers can partake in. It's also worth noting that research doesn't tend to include practices of volunteerism when the main focus of analysis shifts towards studying the socio-demographic characteristics of participants, as well as issues concerning their motivation. Based on analyzing Russian and foreign sources, the article presents an overview of the issues associated with defining the boundaries of the field in question, while discussing the main difficulties when it comes to constructing a general theory of volunteerism, and analyzing the separation of various forms of civil activity which is typically present in foreign literature: volunteerism, grassroots political involvement, civil activism. The article brings forth arguments for limiting the subject of research and for analytical separation between various forms of civil activity.

The article analyses the main features of the intellectual activity results market through the lens of the product boundaries definition. Frequently the pirated copy is not considered as a substitute for original products in legal cases. However, unlicensed computer programs should be included in the product market boundaries regardless of its legal status if the consumer considers them as substitutes. The difference between these types of products (original and pirated) are hidden not in transformation but in transaction characteristics. It is also important to take into consideration the possible complementarity between pirated and original products expressed in the information and network effects. In order to assess the buyers' choice it is necessary to adjust the methods evaluating product market boundaries prescribed by «The Procedure of market competition analysis» of the Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service.

The subject. Detection of the essence of electoral process, the election campaign and their influence on the temporal component of the electoral process is the subject of this publication.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that the concept of "election campaign" should include activities for the preparation and conduct of elections, carried out in the period from the date of the decision on the appointment of elections to the day of official publication (publication) of the decision on the results of electionsThe methodology. General scientific methods were used when considering and analyzing the concepts of the electoral process, election companies, and stages of the electoral process. Normative-logical and comparative-legal methods were used in the process of analyzing the electoral legislation.The main results and scope of their application. The definition of the electoral process is considered by scientists not only as a system of relations, but also as a phenomenon, as an institution, as a form of implementation of constitutional principles, as a legal technology, as a technological infrastructure. Almost all authors, detecting the essence of the electoral process, cannot avoid the temporal aspect of this phenomenon. Political scientists and sociologists understand an election (election) campaign as a system of various campaigning events, with the help of which political parties and individual candidates seek the support of voters in elections. The election campaign in the broad sense is the period of time during which citizens have the opportunity to exercise most of their electoral rights. It is essential not only to legislate consolidation of the definition of "election campaign", but also to define its temporal component, adequate to the goals and objectives of the implementation of the constitutional right to elect and to be elected.The current law defines the election campaign as activities for the preparation and conduct of elections from the date of publication of the announcement of elections until the day the election commission submits the election report.The start of the election campaign is given by the publication of the announcement of the election, but not the adoption of this decision. The campaign ends not with the determination of the winner, but after the election commission submits a report on budget spending, i. e. 3 months after the actual completion of the election. This duration of the campaign does not correspond to the objectives of the election and artificially lengthens the election campaign.The time limits of an election campaign are closely related to the stages of the electoral process, i.e., a set of electoral actions and procedures that are separate in time, aimed at forming a government body and electing an official. The author refers to the mandatory stages of the electoral process as determining the voting day and publishing the decision to call elections; nominating and registering candidates (lists of candidates); election campaigning; voting, determining the results of voting, determining the results of elections and publishing them. Deadlines mark the boundaries of the stages of the electoral process, affecting its institutional, subject and technological components.Conclusions. Nowadays, it is necessary to reduce the legislatively fixed period of the election campaign and, as a result, clarify the definition of "election campaign", which is preferably defined as activities for the preparation and conduct of elections, carried out from the date of the decision of the authority or official on the election to be held until the day official publication of the decision of the election commission on the election results. ; Рассматривается понятие избирательного процесса и его темпоральный аспект, стадии электорального процесса.

The issue of the existence of a peculiarly "Russian" philosophy has long been the object of many debates, which soon led to very different and often opposite conclusions. The question is always the same: Is there an original contribution that Russian authors made to philosophy, in the same way as with literature, arts, and sciences? What happened to Greek/Western philosophy when cultivated in "Russian soil"? In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to first carry out a brief examination of the never-obvious issue of "what being a philosopher means", i.e. of what generally distinguishes an intellectual who claims to be a "philosopher" from other kinds of intellectuals or scholars. After this short but necessary premise, this article will try to sum up some of the classic and modern definitions of Russian philosophy (from Chaadaev to Evlampiev) and conclude by proposing a personal idea about an overarching frame of Russian philosophical thought. In my opinion, the latter mostly originates from a peculiar reception in Russia of Platonism, Idealism and Marxism that ultimately transformed those views, especially during the Silver Age, into a sort of "integral gnoseology", which connects "logos" and "life" in a specifically dialectical way that can be described, pour cause, as "Russian". This "integral gnoseology" ultimately conjoins science and humanism in an original way and is capable of opening up to discreet phenomena and to multiple levels of knowledge.

In many cases of competition law enforcement counterfeit goods are not included within the product-market boundaries on an equal basis with the original product. However, existing literature highlights that illegal copies should be included in market boundaries, since from the consumer's viewpoint counterfeit is a substitute of an original good. In this article, we determine the conditions under which counterfeit products should be included either in market shares of original producers or when counterfeit manufacturers should be recognized as right holder competitors. We conclude that in case of strong network effects counterfeit product should be included in the market share of the right holder. On the contrary, when network effects are weak, pirates or counterfeit manufacturers should be considered as competitors of original product producers.

Раздел 1. Теоретические и теоретико-методологические исследования в сфере дизайна и дизайн-образования = Section 1. Theoretical and methodological studies in the field of design and design education ; В статье рассматривается трансформация феномена дизайна в условиях смены культурной парадигмы, определены границы дизайна в контексте их расширения (диффузии) и размытия (парцелляции), показано качественное изменение общественного статуса дизайна: основной функцией становится не организация и оформление предметно-пространственной среды человека, а формирование ценностных ориентиров и установок. ; This article discusses the transformation of the deign phenomenon in a changing cultural paradigm. The design expands the boundaries of its influence, penetrating into various spheres of human activity. The position of design in the sphere of culture becomes more significant: it goes beyond the framework of the organizer and designer of the subject-spatial environment of a person. Currently, the design claims the role of the legislator of values. The article attempts to define the boundaries of a design and discusses the features of their transformation: in the context of border expansion (diffusion) and border blurring (parcelling).

Using administrative data is essential for statistical observations that are carried out by official statistical offices; in order to reduce the respondent burden. This allows it to eliminate duplication of reporting indicators in the future, improving the legislations of the national accounting, interaction between separate government institutions. In recommendations of the international organizations, as well as in documents containing global estimates of national statistical system, application of administrative data is brought to the foreword. At the same time there are differences in recommendations of the international organizations and views of experts. As a result, decisions made based on these recommendations in CIS countries as well as changes made to statutory instruments are differed from each other. The article presents the results of the research on defying the scope of official statistics and collections of administrative data are analyzed recommendations of global estimates of national statistical systems of some CIS countries as well as changes in statistical legislation, the definitions of UNECE, Eurostat and other international organizations and reviewed. Some examples of Azerbaijan practices related to use of administrative data are given, their relation with official statistics is commented on. Differences of the methodology used for preparation of administrative data, from the official statistics methodology are emphasized, challenges that non-statistical organizations associated with the use of official statistics methodology encounter are shown; questions regarding applying in official statistics the data collected for non-statistical purposes are investigated. The authors formulate their position that the optimization of the relationship between official statistics and administrative data array is more appropriate on the basis of elaborating the single international approach. ; Использование административных данных имеет важное значение в статистических наблюдениях, организуемых официальными статистическим органами, для уменьшения нагрузки на респондентов. При этом создается возможность для устранения дублирования показателей отчетности в последующем, совершенствования законодательной базы национального учета и взаимодействия между отдельными государственными структурами. В рекомендациях международных организаций, а также в документах, содержащих глобальные оценки национальных статистических систем, использование административных данных выдвигается на передний план. Вместе с тем наблюдаются различия в рекомендациях международных организаций и взглядах экспертов. В результате решения, принятые на основе этих рекомендаций в странах СНГ, и изменения, внесенные в законодательные акты, отличаются друг от друга. В статье изложены результаты исследования определений границ официальной статистики и совокупности административных данных, анализируются рекомендации, данные в ходе глобальных оценок национальных статистических систем некоторых стран СНГ, и изменения статистического законодательства, рассматриваются соответствующие определения ЕЭК ООН, Евростата и других международных организаций. Приводится несколько примеров из практики Азербайджана, связанных с использованием административных данных, комментируется их связь с показателями официальной статистики. Подчеркивается отличие методологии, необходимой при подготовке административных данных, от методологии официальной статистики, описываются трудности нестатистических организаций при использовании методологии официальной статистики, исследуются вопросы применения в официальной статистике данных, собранных для нестатистических целей. Авторы формулируют свою позицию, заключающуюся в том, что оптимизировать соотношение между официальной статистикой и массивом административных данных наиболее целесообразно на основе выработки единого международного подхода.

The subject of study. The article examines certain aspects to realize freedom of thought and expression, as well as the acceptable limits. Freedom of thought, speech and expression issues are considered separately in the context of the religious component, its characteristics in the Islamic religion. The provisions of the main sources in the Muslim system of law – the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet and Messenger of Muhammad (May Allah bless him) have been studied in sufficient details. The legal analysis on the issues under consideration was carried out based on doctrinal opinions, the current Russian and international legal acts, judicial practice, including the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. The article describes extremism through the prism of freedom of thought, speech and expression. It is noted that extremist activity is one of the consequences of misinterpretation, true awareness and perception of freedom of thought, speech and expression.The purpose of the study. The main purpose of the study is to clarify the origins of conflicts in the process of realizing freedom of thought, speech and expression, and substantiate the hypothesis that freedom of thought, speech and expression should have certain boundaries, especially in context of the influence of the religious factor.The methodology of the study. The study is based on a dialectical approach to the disclosure of legal phenomena and processes using general scientific methods (systemic method, logical method, method of analysis and synthesis) and special scientific methods. Among the latter there are formal legal method, linguistic method, comparative legal method, which have found their application in the legal analysis to realize freedom of thought, speech and expression.Conclusions. As a result, it is emphasized that freedom of thought, speech and expression is the achievement of modern mankind, one of the foundations of a democratic system and an element of civil society. The state-guaranteed opportunity for individuals to exercise these freedoms in society is a guarantee of a "healthy" society in the legal sense. However, as practice shows, unlimited freedom leads to its abuse, thereby infringing on the freedoms of other individuals and therefore, freedom of speech and its expression presupposes the existence of boundaries outlined by the state in the interests of society. The specifics of freedom of thought, speech and expression in the Muslim system of law based on the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (May Allah bless him), is that this freedom ends where the border line begins, designated by the law of the Most High. ; Предмет исследования. Исследуются отдельные аспекты реализациисвободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения, а также приемлемые границы ее ограничения. Отдельно рассматриваются вопросы свободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения в контексте религиозной составляющей, а именно ее характеристики в исламе. Достаточно подробно изучаются положения основных источников мусульманской системы права – Священного Корана и Сунны Пророка, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует. Юридический анализ по исследуемой проблематике проведен опираясь на доктринальные мнения, действующие российские и международные нормативно-правовые акты, позиции судебной практики, в том числе и Европейского Суда по правам человека. Приведена характеристика экстремизма через призму свободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения. Отмечено, что экстремистская деятельность выступает одним из последствий неверной интерпретации истинного осознания и восприятия свободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения.Цель исследования. Основной целью исследования является выяснение причин, являющихся источниками происхождения конфликтов в процессе реализации свободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения, и обоснование гипотезы о том, что свобода мысли, слова и выражения мнения должна иметь определенные границы, особенно в контексте влияния религиозного фактора.Методология исследования. Исследование построено на основе диалектического подхода к раскрытию правовых явлений и процессов с использованием общенаучных (системный, логический, анализ и синтез) и частнонаучных методов. В числе последних формально-юридический, лингво-юридический, сравнительно-правовой, которые нашли свое применение при правовом анализе проблематики реализации свободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения.Выводы. В качестве итога подчеркивается, что свобода мысли, слова и выражения мнения – это достижения современного человечества, одна из основ демократического строя и элемент гражданского общества. Гарантированная государством возможность реализации указанных свобод индивидами в социуме является залогом «здорового» в правовом смысле общества. Вместе с тем, как показывает практика, безграничная свобода приводит к ее злоупотреблению, тем самым к ущемлению свобод других индивидов, в связи с чем свобода слова и ее выражение предполагает наличие границ, которые очерчивает государство в интересах социума. Специфика реализации свободы мысли, слова и выражения мнения в мусульманской системе права, основанной на Священном Коране Сунне Пророка, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, состоит в том, что такая свобода заканчивается там, где начинается линия границы, обозначенная посредством закона Всевышнего.
