(EN) In the article the existing state mechanisms for social investment in Ukraine are studied. The effectiveness of the existing social investment support is determined. The perspectives of creation the National foundation of social investment in Ukraine are considered. The role and place of foundation in ensuring the effective functioning of the market of social investment and improving
quality of life are indicated. The goal of foundation creation, which is activation and structuring investment processes in the social sphere, which are intended to lead to improve quality of life and stimulate social entrepreneurship and socially responsible business in the country, is established. The key tasks and functions which were liable to this infrastructure element are formulated. The structure of the proposed foundation, which includes activities in the following sectors: sector of social investment projects, sector of social innovation and support for social enterprise, sector of intermediation and distribution of social investments, sector of the quality assess and social investment effectiveness, sector of information support and coordination council, is presented. The main consumers of the foundation and main predictable investors of social projects are identified. The main stages that are necessary to implement social investment center are defined. The basic political, economic and social risks that may stand in the way of effective implementation and operation of the National foundation social investment are solved. The model of the National foundation social investment functioning are constructed
Representation of Violence, Revolution and Social Change in the Online Series Arcane: League of Legends
This article examines the dramatic narrative model of the animated series Arcane, which was a significant success with a wide target audience. The author identifies the main characteristics of the narrative model: a variety of interpretations, thematic diversity, a
complex and contradictory conflict tangle, ambiguity of characters’ motives, and active inclusion of elements provoking the audience
into the figurative system of the series. Emphasis is put on the complex and polemical topic of revolutionary violence — both its
positive and negative sides — addressed in Arcane. This theme is the basis of the mythology of the series, in which an important
place is taken by a polemical attack on the contemporary media, which offer a traditional and very simplified interpretation of revolutionary phenomena in the world. On the one hand, violence is presented as an unambiguously negative change in culture and
society, and in the narrative it boils down to a harmless brawl. On the other hand, violence is naively portrayed as a predominantly
positive phenomenon that can justify almost any changes in social, political and other spheres. In Arcane, social struggle takes on
special significance: it represents the only way for the characters to form and maintain their own identity
Accuracy of one-dimensional collision integral in the rigid spheres approximation
The accuracy of calculation of spectral line shapes in one-dimensional
approximation is studied analytically in several limiting cases for arbitrary
collision kernel and numerically in the rigid spheres model. It is shown that
the deviation of the line profile is maximal in the center of the line in case
of large perturber mass and intermediate values of collision frequency. For
moderate masses of buffer molecules the error of one-dimensional approximation
is found not to exceed 5%.Comment: LaTeX, 24 pages, 8 figure
A Note on the Cosmic Evolution of the Axion in a Strong Magnetic Field
It has been pointed out in the literature that in the presence of an external
magnetic field the axion mass receives an electromagnetic contribution. We show
that if a magnetic field with energy density larger than ~10^{-8} times the
energy density of the Universe existed at temperatures of a few GeV, that
contribution would be dominant and consequently the cosmic evolution of the
axion field would change substantially. In particular, the expected axion relic
abundance would be lowered, allowing a small relaxation of the present
cosmological bound on the Peccei-Quinn constant.Comment: 2 pages, no figures. Minor changes. References added. Accepted for

Classification of real three-dimensional Lie bialgebras and their Poisson-Lie groups
Classical r-matrices of the three-dimensional real Lie bialgebras are
obtained. In this way all three-dimensional real coboundary Lie bialgebras and
their types (triangular, quasitriangular or factorizable) are classified. Then,
by using the Sklyanin bracket, the Poisson structures on the related
Poisson-Lie groups are obtained.Comment: 17 page
N=2 structures on solvable Lie algebras: the c=9 classification
Let G be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra (not necessarily semisimple). It is
known that if G is self-dual (that is, if it possesses an invariant metric)
then there is a canonical N=1 superconformal algebra associated to its N=1
affinization---that is, it admits an N=1 (affine) Sugawara construction. Under
certain additional hypotheses, this N=1 structure admits an N=2 extension. If
this is the case, G is said to possess an N=2 structure. It is also known that
an N=2 structure on a self-dual Lie algebra G is equivalent to a vector space
decomposition G = G_+ \oplus G_- where G_\pm are isotropic Lie subalgebras. In
other words, N=2 structures on G are in one-to-one correspondence with Manin
triples (G,G_+,G_-). In this paper we exploit this correspondence to obtain a
classification of the c=9 N=2 structures on self-dual solvable Lie algebras. In
the process we also give some simple proofs for a variety of Lie algebraic
results concerning self-dual Lie algebras admitting symplectic or K\"ahler
structures.Comment: 49 pages in 2 columns (=25 physical pages), (uufiles-gz-9)'d .dvi

The vertex with arbitrary gluon virtualities in the perturbative QCD hard scattering approach
We study the vertex for arbitrary gluon virtualities in
the time-like and space-like regions, using the perturbative QCD hard
scattering approach and an input wave-function of the -meson
consistent with the measured transition form
factor. The contribution of the gluonic content of the -meson is
taken into account, enhancing the form factor over the entire virtuality
considered. However, data on the electromagnetic transition form factor of the
-meson is not sufficient to quantify the gluonic enhancement. We
also study the effect of the transverse momenta of the partons in the
-meson on the vertex, using the modified
hard scattering approach based on Sudakov formalism. Analytic expressions for
the vertex are presented in limiting kinematic regions
and parametrizations are given satisfying the QCD anomaly, for real gluons, and
perturbative QCD behavior for large gluon virtualities, in both the time-like
and space-like regions. Our results have implications for the inclusive decay
and exclusive decays, such as , and in hadronic production processes .Comment: 23 pages, 19 figures (requires revtex4, amssymb, epsf); several typos
corrected, this version now identical to the one accepted for publication in
