MODELLING THE EFFECTS OF BANK OF RUSSIA’S MONETARY POLICY ON EAEU COUNTRIES

In this paper we estimate the effects of the Bank of Russia’s monetary policy on the Eurasian Economic Union members. The relevance of the study arises from two points: first, economic integration implies coordination in macroeconomic policy; second, fluctuations of Russian economy as the biggest economy in the region cause fluctuations in the whole EAEU, changing the flows of goods and resources. The purpose of this paper is to identify key effects and channels of cross-border transmission of Bank of Russia’s monetary policy under changing monetary regimes of the EAEU countries. For the empirical model we use quarterly data on EAEU key macroeconomic indicators from 2000 to 2021, the basic method is block-exogenous structural vector autoregression. Our results show that interest rate channel plays the key role in cross-border transmission of monetary policy effects in the region. The exception is the case when the recipient’s country central bank employs fixed exchange rate regime, rendering international interest rate channel ineffective. Another important channel is international trade: monetary policy tightening leads to the contraction of demand for the imported goods, so the exports of the recipient countries decrease. We conclude that despite heterogenous response among the EAEU countries to monetary shocks occurring in Russia, monetary policy tightening decreases economic activity in the whole economic union. The study can be extended in several ways like the analysis of the synchronization in systematic monetary policy decisions in EAEU or detailed estimations of financial channels of international transmission using banking statistic

Electroencephalographic Intercentral Interaction as a Reflection of Normal and Pathological Human Brain Activity

The authors summarized EEG findings and defined the nature of the intercentral EEG relationships in different functional states in healthy subjects and patients with organic cerebral pathology, based on a coherence analysis. Similar EEG characteristics in healthy individuals were identified: an anterior-posterior gradient of average coherence levels, the type of cortical-subcortical relationships in anterior cerebral structures. Right- and left-handed individuals showed frequent and regional differences in EEG coherence, which mainly reflected specificity of intracortical relationships. Development and regression of pathology in right-and left-handed individuals with organic brain lesions were thought to be caused by these differences. Lesions of regulatory structures (diencephalic, brain stem and limbic structures) provoked a more diffused kind of changes of intercentral relationships, in contrast to cortical pathology. These changes tended to reciprocate. The dynamic nature of intercentral relationships and their interhemispheric differences was revealed when changing functional states of the brain (increase and decrease of functional level) in healthy individuals and patients with organic cerebral pathology in the process of conscious and psychic activity restoration. Changing activity predominance of certain regulatory structures was considered one of the most important factors determining the dynamic nature of EEG coherenceLos autores resumen los resultados de las investigaciones de las relaciones intercentrales de EEG de personas sanas en distintos estados funcionales y de enfermos con lesiones orgánicas del SNC, mediante análisis de coherencia. Se revelan características semejantes de la estructura de relaciones de EEG de personas sanas: la gradiente anterior-posterior de niveles medios de coherencia, el carácter de la interacción cortical-subcortical de las secciones anteriores de los hemisferios. A su vez, se detectan diferencias de frecuencia y regionales en la coherencia de EEG en diestros y zurdos, que reflejan mayoritariamente la especificidad de la interacción intracortical. Se cree que estas diferencias causan la especificidad del desarrollo y la regresión de los estados patológicos de diestros y zurdos en lesiones cerebrales orgánicas. Se señala que en las lesiones de formaciones reguladoras (diencefálicas, troncales, límbicas) Provocan unos cambios de las relaciones intercentrales más difusos que en casos de patología cortical. Estos cambios tienden a la reciprocidad. Se revela el carácter dinámico de las relaciones intercentrales y sus diferencias interhemisféricas en los cambios de los estados funcionales del cerebro (incremento, disminución del nivel de funcionamiento) en personas sanas así como en la recuperación de la conciencia y la actividad psíquica en enfermos con patología cerebral orgánica. Uno de los factores que determina el carácter dinámico del cambio de la coherencia del EEG es el cambio del predominio de la actividad de ciertas estructuras reguladoras

Cognitive Foundations for Educational Strategies

New Age connected education with science, which is understood as a rational project. Science of New Age is principally public. Connected with it the ideal of objective truth claims the rational description of scientific methods. Historical transformation of ideals and types of rationality changed also the educational strategies of New Age. Foundations of such strategies are the foundations of scientific cognition: ideals and norms of scientific research, scientific world picture and philosophical foundations of science.  Traditions are extremely strong in education, but critique of them and understanding, that education must be changed, proclaim themselves very soundly today, particularly in jubilee report by Club of Rome “Come on!” For members and supporters of Ukrainian Synergetic Society, the ideas, expressed in report of Club of Rome, are consonant to their synergetic imaginations about complex self-organizing world and to view on modern stage of development of science as on postnonclassical one. Methodological principles of postnonclassical science are contrast to reductionism, postnonclassical world picture is based on dialectic ideas of becoming and wholeness, postnonclassical type of rationality approves objectiveness of knowledge by taking into account the human values of researchers. Specificity of objects of postnonclassical science is brunching of nonlinear dynamics of self-organizing systems. It needs to elaborate in education process the certain cognitive orientations. Partially such orientations were formulated in methodological principles of nonlinear thinking, which orient to be ready for emergence of a new whole as a result o self-organization. Current nonlinear scientific world picture considers the processes of self-organization of all levels of world's structure organization as condition of its existence. Understanding of such processes requires the elaboration of evolutionistic holistic worldview. Of course, learning of modern nonlinear theories can't be the task of common education. It is important, that readiness to favorable reception of evolution and holistic ideas is elaborated in process of such education

The ‘True’ Democracy and the ‘True’ Self-Organization: Regulative Ideas or Reasons for Doubtful Estimations?

The way from theoretical principles to the estimation of real events is often affected by personal preferences. This problem is typical for the post-non-classical situation in science in which authors are not indifferent toward their topics. The article uses the example of Ukrainian ‘Orange revolution’ in its consideration of how to avoid the classical position of high judgment from the point of view of pure ideas

THE REORGANISATION OF THE ELECTRIC ACTIVITY OF THE MAN'S BRAIN WITH THE SUPRESSION AND RESTORATION OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS (CEREBRAL COMA)

The role of the different regulator cerebral systems in the formation of the neurophysiological mechanisms of the man's consciousness with the revealation of the various sides of its realization with the supression and restoration of the consciousness has been shown. It has been shown, that the obligatory condition for the normal state of the consciousness is the support of the optimum level of combination of the brain electric processes. The new EEG-parameters of the diagnostic evaluation of the brain functional state of the comatose patients, facilitating the development of the new methods of the intensive therapy and reanimation, and the prognosis of the postcomatose states have been revealed. The possibility of the cortex tonus increase has been shown under the conditions of coma and under the influence of the afferent stimulation with the special role of the emotionally important irritations has been shown.Available from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio

Round-table “Education for the Future: Thoughts on the Jubilee Report of the Club of Rome”

Under this title, a meeting of the Round Table organized by the Ukrainian Synergetic Society was held within the framework of the scientific-practical conference "Innovations in Education: Value-Competence Approach", held on May 29, 2018 at the Dragomanov National Pedagogical University. Participants: I. Dobronravova, L. Gorbunova, I. Drach, L. Bevzenko, L. Bogataya, I. Yershova-Babenko, I. Knysh, N. Kochubey, T. Bilous, O. Komar, Y. Melkov, M. Nesterova, A. Pipich, L. Sidorenko. Traditionally, for such meetings, the role of moderator was performed by the president of the Ukrainian Synergetic Society, Professor Iryna Dobronravova. The participants expressed views on a certain resonance of the theses of the Rome Club with the ideas of synergetics: a call to abandon reductionism and linear thinking, recognition of a holistic approach to understanding the current situation on the planet and developing an action plan for favorable prospects, calling for synergy of action and a balance of sustainable development , call for disciplinary complementarity in research and training. It focused on the philosophical foundations of the necessary transformation of thinking, which should become integral, on the ideas of the “new Enlightenment”, the “global citizenship” policy, education strategies as “literacy about the future”, which is based on connectivity, universal values ​​and respect for cultural differences, focuses on sustainable development, on education, which comes from the pluralism of content and is inclusive, that is, it includes the whole range of contradictory and complementary perspectives, not limited to analytical, but cultivates integral thinking. It is concluded that this report is certainly of great methodological importance for educational research and educational policy, especially in clarifying the problems of sustainable (balanced) development, globalization, internationalization and the development of a global civil society. Education for sustainable development and its component - education for global citizenship are relevant in the context of the problems posed by this report of the planetary development of humanity
