This volume is an energy-tailored sequel to the research on the Arctic carried out at MGIMO University. Specifically, the proposed book is grounded in the profound academic and practical expertise of the specialized body of MGIMO University – International Institute of Energy Policy and Diplomacy chaired by Prof. Valery Salygin. Thus, the research exclusively focuses on energy-related aspects of exploration of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). This particular region with its ample oil and gas resources has been comparatively and critically studied by a team of authors representing Russia, USA, France, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Lithuania from legislative, political, economic, technical, transport, environmental, sustainability, and security perspectives.
This book presents the history of globalization as a network-based story in the context of Big History. Departing from the traditional historic discourse, in which communities, cities, and states serve as the main units of analysis, the authors instead trace the historical emergence, growth, interconnection, and merging of various types of networks that have gradually encompassed the globe. They also focus on the development of certain ideas, processes, institutions, and phenomena that spread through those networks to become truly global. The book specifies five macro-periods in the history of globalization and comprehensively covers the first four, from roughly the 9th – 7th millennia BC to World War I. For each period, it identifies the most important network-related developments that facilitated (or even spurred on) such transitions and had the greatest impacts on the history of globalization. By analyzing the world system's transition to new levels of complexity and connectivity, the book provides valuable insights into the course of Big History and the evolution of human societies.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 4th Conference on Creativity in Intellectual Technologies and Data Science, CIT&DS 2021, held in Volgograd, Russia, in September 2021.

The NEW2AN papers are organized in topical sections on wireless PHY and power control, ad hoc networks, WSN, special topics, simulation + fundamental analysis I, traffic modeling and measurement, simulation + fundamental analysis II, network performance and QoS, cooperative, P2P, overlay networks and content, applications and services, API and software, and video.
The editor has incorporated contributions from a diverse group of leading researchers in the field of differential equations. This book aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge in the field of differential equations. The main subject areas are divided into general theory and applications. These include fixed point approach to solution existence of differential equations, existence theory of differential equations of arbitrary order, topological methods in the theory of ordinary differential equations, impulsive fractional differential equations with finite delay and integral boundary conditions, an extension of Massera's theorem for n-dimensional stochastic differential equations...
The present volume is the fifth in the series of yearbooks with the title Globalistics and Globalization Studies. The subtitle of the present volume is Global Transformations and Global Future. We become more and more accustomed to think globally and to see global processes. And our future can all means be global. However, is this statement justified? Indeed, in recent years, many have begun to claim that globalization has stalled, that we are rather dealing with the process of anti-globalization. Will not we find ourselves at some point again in an edifice spanning across the globe, but divided into national apartments, separated by walls of high tariffs and mutual suspicion? Of course, som...
This book is a collection of papers compiled from the conference "Algorithms and Computer-Based Solutions" held on June 8-9, 2021 at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), St. Petersburg, Russia. The authors of the book are leading scientists from Russia, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Portugal, and Poland. The reader finds in the book information from experts on the most interesting trends in digitalization - issues of development and implementation of algorithms, IT and digital solutions for various areas of economy and science, prospects for supercomputers and exo-intelligent platforms; applied computer technologies in digital production, healthcare and biomedical systems, digital medicine, logistics and management; digital technologies for visualization and prototyping of physical objects. The book helps the reader to increase his or her expertise in the field of computer technologies discussed.
