The serfdom in Russia: The historiographic aspect

The article deals with russian and foreign historiography devoted to the serfdom in the Russian Empire. The attention is paid to economic and legal aspects of serfdom, gender studies, and historical and comparative research. There were involved the materials of Soviet, russian and foreign historiography, namely the works published since the second half of the XX-XXI centuries. The authors used the methods related with the history of science while the analysis of historiographical sources. So, there was applied the culturalanthropological method that involves the disclosure of the author's position of historiographical source in the problem statement and selection of arguments in defense of his point of view. Besides, there was applied the method of discourse analysis, which involves the establishment of correlation between the content of historiographical source, the results of scientific research and socio-cultural context of the development of historical events and processes. The authors concluded that today the study of serfdom in Russia continues to attract researchers in the fields of history, economic history and history of law. Along with the economic and legal aspects, the great importance is given to the topics related to gender issues among dependent classes, as well as historical and comparative studies that examine serfdom and slavery in other territories.

Risk based ecological economics to engineering students

Modern ecological crisis threatens the sustainability of human civilization. Awareness and education for probable disaster risk reduction give greater urgency to the issue of decreasing industrial failure rates associated with basic manufacturing activities and, consequently, improving the training in this area. The authors have highlighted the features of modern risk based approach in engineering training based on proximity of production entities to anthropogenic factors: allocation of risks and threats in professional and personal situations or tasks; critical analysis of any industrial process and considering its consequences; using professional and personal risk response strategies; risk-based thinking as the core professional activity. The paper considers the mechanism of risk-based thinking as a necessary part of engineering students training on the basis of diversionary analysis, and gives its algorithm adapted to their learning activities. A system of professional tasks and tools to be used in the students' future job has been developed to promote their readiness and willingness to work across trades within the sphere of their technical competency. The paper is intended for researchers, practitioners, managers of enterprises dealing with ecological and economic production activities, as well as for professional training of engineers. © Authors
