The article examines the use of passive voice and passive structures in the legal context, and particularly its use in the English and Armenian versions of the RA Family Code. Based on qualitative and quantitative, as well as case study methodology, the purposeful use of passive structures, their tendency to ensure maximum accuracy, as well as their functional-communicative features and the functions performed by them in legal speech are revealed in the study. The research also states that the frequency of applicability of the passive voice is due to the emphasis on the role of the action and not on the doer in both English and Armenian versions of the mentioned document belonging to legal discourse.
Retailers around the world have been actively developing the Private Label (PL) niche in recent years, significantly contributing to food sales in value. Therefore, the goal of this research is to determine the factors influencing trust in private label food brands among consumers in relation to loyalty to retailers. Hypotheses were formulated to identify the above-mentioned influence. The research involved an empirical approach combining qualitative (semi-structured interviews) and quantitative methods: Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA); Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The online survey was conducted in March-April 2023 (387 respondents). The criteria for selecting respondents were that they resided in Moscow or the Moscow region; were aged 18 years or older; at least once bought private label branded food in the previous year. Analysis revealed the most significant factors of trust development in private label brands foods among consumers. They were structured and systematised, and recommendations were also formed for Russian retailers to strengthen consumer loyalty in the “dairy” category. The study addresses a gap in theoretical publications regarding the influence of factors on the choice of private label branded food products on loyalty to the retailer. The results can be used to analyse the factors of choice, their structure and influence on loyalty to private label branded foods in other product categories, as well as for the study of such influence and adaptation of the results obtained in other regions of Russia, due to a different socio-demographic profile of the population. The results can be adapted for different price segments of private label branded foods.
This study explores the factors determining entrepreneurial passion among Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in the service and industrial sectors of Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. The research investigates the extent of entrepreneurial passion among MSE operators, identifies key personal, environmental, and institutional factors, and analyzes their impact on the success, growth, and sustainability of MSEs. The purpose of the study is to understand how these factors shape entrepreneurial passion, identify key drivers and barriers and offer practical recommendations for enhancing MSE performance. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 248 MSE operators selected via stratified sampling across five sectors. The findings reveal a strong sense of passion, motivation, and emotional commitment, primarily driven by financial independence, growth opportunities, creativity, and resilience in overcoming challenges. Regression analysis highlights the significant role of personal characteristics such as age, education, prior experience, and risk-taking propensity in fostering entrepreneurial passion. Additionally, external factors, including market competition, technological advancements, government policies, and supportive networks, are shown to be critical in encouraging innovation and creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurship. The research concludes that entrepreneurial passion is influenced by a dynamic interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The study’s theoretical contribution lies in advancing understanding of the drivers of entrepreneurial passion, while the practical significance includes recommendations for policymakers, educators, and practitioners to address challenges such as financial constraints, regulatory barriers, networking difficulties, and work-life balance issues. These insights can help enhance MSE success, sustainability, and long-term entrepreneurial passion.
Today, in order to develop national economies, it is necessary to pay attention to the economies of the regions of the countries. The regional economy is the basis of the national welfare. In the Russian Federation there are a number of problems with regional development, one of which is the differentiated development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Every year, the difference in development increases due to the rapid growth of large economic regions and the lag in regions removed from the central regions. In the context of such key competition factors, this development becomes competitive in the region. The article examines various concepts of and approaches to regional competitiveness that contribute to the formation of comprehensive economic cooperation. Through analysis of statistics on indicators of the socio-economic development of some regions of the Russian Federation, the reason for the observed disproportion was identified. This reason is the outflow of population. A person with strength and skills is a key part of building a regional economic system. To solve problems that arise in the work, a model for increasing regional competitiveness is proposed, which includes three stages. The first is basic, focusing on building the foundations of production; the second stage involves focusing on the development of science and education; and the third is creative, focused on the development of creative industries. Thus, the model proposed by the author meets the criterion of complexity, as well as the requirements for increasing the competitiveness of regions in the medium and long term, which will contribute to the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, balance and balance in the level of development of the country as a whole.
This article discusses the possibility of predicting the values of a series using complex-valued autoregression with an error for short-term forecasting. The authors consider the basic concepts of the function of a complex-valued variable and the model of complexvalued autoregression, together with the results of applying first- and second-order models of complex-valued autoregression with the CARE(p) error to describe and predict the initial series. The results obtained are compared with the first- and second-order autoregression in real numbers. A complex-valued autoregression model with an error showed a more accurate result for short-term forecasting, unlike the autoregression model in real numbers. The authors also conclude that complex-valued autoregression with an error is subject to further investigation in order to find out the prospects of using its imaginary part.

Статья посвящена судьбе философии Ф. Ницше (1844-1900) в ХХ веке и ее интерпретации немецким философом М. Хайдеггером (1889-1976), оказавшим решающее влияние на судьбу мировой философии и континентальной метафизики в частности. Герменевтика ницшеанской мысли в ХХ веке есть прежде всего герменевтика катастрофических событий, с которыми столкнулась Германия: Ноябрьская революция 1918 г., кризис Веймарской республики, приход к власти NSDAP, технократия, «размывание человека» и мировые войны. В статье мысль главных представителей революционного консерватизма, среди которых: А. Молер, братья Э. и Ф. Юнгеры, К. Лёвит, А. Боймлер, Г. Фишер - позиционируется в качестве основного «экзистенциального» основания интерпретации М. Хайдеггера. Отличительными чертами хайдеггеровской методологии указываются заимствование у А. Молера понятия «принятия всерьез» и диалектика Бытия - сущего. Взгляд М. Хайдеггера на мысль «философа без гражданства» сосредотачивается вокруг трех главных фокусов: критики ценностей, Wille zu Macht и идеи «Ewige Wiederkunft». Особое внимание уделяется пониманию Хайдеггером концепции «смерти Бога», которая в его толковании не имеет ярко выраженного антихристианского характера. Невозможность окончательно преодолеть ценностную парадигму, направляемую основным инстинктом воли к власти, определяется в качестве основного изъяна философии Ф. Ницше, скрывающего Бытие и истинный характер сущего и не способного окончательно преодолеть метафизику.

Legal positions of supreme federal courts in the Russian Federation have a direct effect on the labor legislation, law enforcement practices, as well as the subject and method of labor law. Certain forms of this influence have not been studied by the science of labor law until recently that results in unlocked theoretical and practical potential for judicial legal positions on labor disputes. To discover the influence of these legal positions on the industry in general, their main functions shall be identified. Through philosophical, general-theoretical and special juridical analysis of academic literature, labor legislation, law enforcement practices, and international legal acts the attributes of the functions of legal positions of supreme federal courts have been identified, the relevant definition has been articulated, the structure of functions has been shown, and specific types of these functions have been discovered. The theoretical structures worked out during the research can be applied in practice as well. On the national level - to solve the problems of platform employment, to ensure a balance in unity and differentiation in labor law, and to improve the mechanism for social partnership. On the international level - for the Eurasian Economic Union member states to solve the problems associated with human resources mobility, protection of working migrants, social partnership, introduction of international labor standards.
Introduction. Post-COVID-19 syndrome, a condition affecting 10 to 35% of convalescents, particularly impacts individuals with cardiovascular issues who are at a higher risk of contracting the virus and consequently developing post-COVID-19 syndrome, especially at senile age. This group remains one of the most vulnerable populations in terms of susceptibility to both the coronavirus and its long-term effects.
The purpose of the study is to create a more accurate material fl ow forecasting model of Xi’an freight railway station in China. The combined forecasting model is more validated for forecasting freight fl ows of regional logistics compared to three methods: grey forecasting, Markov chains, entropy weighting. Through the creation of the combined model, the grey forecasting method is combined with Markov chain correction, and the projected data is compared with the actual data to obtain higher accuracy of the forecasting model.
A combined model using the grey forecasting method combined with Markov chain correction is created, with the forecast data compared with the actual data to obtain high accuracy of the forecasting model.
The practical signifi cance is that in the context of the present post-pandemic economic development, the logistics enterprises that do not operate in accordance with the modern logistics methods may be displaced by competitors. If the railway does not improve its logistics infrastructure, logistics equipment, railway logistics network platform, etc., it will lose out to other modes of transport. In order to meet the needs of logistics and improve the market competitiveness, the main indicator of a freight station is loading and logistics fl ow. Therefore, exact prediction of future changes in the logistics fl ow of a freight station can help to determine whether the station needs to be upgraded as a railway station or transformed into a certain type of a logistics centre.
