Purpose
The application of digital technologies in food information is profoundly transforming how consumers access, interpret and use nutritional information. This paper systematically reviews digital technologies integrated into food labelling systems and evaluates their impact on consumer behaviour, transparency and informed decision-making.

In the face of rising sustainability expectations and limited resources, startups must balance financial objectives with ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals under uncertainty. This study examines how ESG behavior influences external resource acquisition, financing choices, and strategic outcomes in early-stage enterprises. Drawing on the entrepreneurial learning perspective, we argue that startups refine ESG strategies ...

We prove that an analogue of Rogers’ theorem on sieving holds for an order if and only if the order is a Dedekind domain. We also prove that it holds for a finite commutative ring if and only if the ring is a direct product of local rings with linearly ordered ideals. ...

The article focuses on the Western mainstream media (WMM) discourse on Russia-Africa relations and how Russo-Western information confrontation affects the diplomatic dialogue between Russia and African states. Historically, the Soviet Union fostered a friendly relationship with the continent, characterised by solidarity and mutual respect. The collapse of the Soviet Union, the WMM discourse on Russian-African ...

The convergence of energy transition and digitalization represents two pivotal trends in the global economy that complement each other. The decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is facilitated by larger Internet access and more substantial investments in research and development. This study sheds light on the dual impact of digitalization and innovation on CO2 emissions ...

Две не равные тождественно нулю функции (последовательности элементов некоторого поля) будем называть эквивалентными, если они удовлетворяют функциональному уравнению типа теорем сложения тэта-функций. Основной результат работы состоит в том, что рассматриваемое отношение действительно является отношением эквивалентности. ...

We consider a class of Boolean algebras formed by intersections of regular languages with
a given language. In the case where such an algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of regular languages,
we prove the existence of an isomorphism that is computable using oracles for the regular realizability
problem and the infinite regular realizability problem. This result yields ...

The classical theory of platforms describes user dependency on digital ecosystems as a
rational economic choice: users stay because it is convenient and switching is costly. But what happens
when there is nowhere to switch — not because alternatives are less convenient, but because the state
has eliminated them? This article introduces the concept of “sovereign lock-in” to ...

We investigate how stochastic Poisson impulsive forcing influences the spatiotemporal dynamics of a two-dimensional network of Hindmarsh–Rose neurons. Unlike continuous noise, impulsive forcing introduces discrete, state-dependent perturbations, making the system response highly sensitive to both the statistics and the spatial structure of the input. In most of the parameter space, stochastic impulses destabilize the initial ...

International science collaboration countries have expanded considerably in recent years; nevertheless, institutional and organizational barriers and challenges continue to undermine the effectiveness of joint research initiatives. This study examines how such barriers are associated with perceived academic and technological outcomes, drawing on a primary dataset of 396 survey responses from researchers in BRICS-countries-based collaborations. The ...

This systematic literature review examines how international students engage with urban spaces using Henri Lefebvre’s Relational Space Theory, challenging Berry’s bidimensional acculturation model. The review synthesizes 35 peer reviewed articles published between 1991 and 2025, identified through searches across six academic databases and manual screen-ing of journals. Using content analysis integrating text mining with close ...

В 1863 г. в России отметили тысячелетие славянской письменности. Имперские власти и церковные деятели осознавали общеславянский характер праздника и его важность для «славянского вопроса». В общественной дискуссии фигуры Кирилла и Мефодия были мобилизованы для осмысления ключевых вопросов — от народного просвещения до обострившегося в связи с восстанием «Польского вопроса». Парадоксальным образом обращение к «общеславянскому» прошлому ...

The group reduction procedure is applied to vector generalizations of the NLS, mKdV,
and KdV equations. The resulting ODE systems admit isomonodromic Lax representations
and are multicomponent generalizations of the Painlevé equations P 1, P 2, P 34, and P 4.
Some of them can be interpreted as nonautonomous deformations of well-known systems
integrable in the Liouville sense, in ...

The paper considers the problem of estimating the coupon-free yield curve of Russian bonds in yuan. The relevance of the topic is explained by the increased popularity of yuan-denominated bonds in the Russian market since 2022, as well as the recent appearance of the first federal loan bonds (OFZ) in yuan. Given that the number ...

This article examines financial innovations in the Russian corporate bond market as a response to structural changes in the economy following 2022. The tightening of monetary policy has led to prohibitively high interest rates for domestic companies, while the sanctions have closed access to external capital markets. Despite these constraints, Russian firms have successfully adapted ...

For decades, life expectancy in Eastern Europe has lagged behind that in Western Europe, although the gap has narrowed since the mid-2000s. We examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these long-term trends by estimating and decomposing East-West differences in excess mortality and life expectancy losses. Regression models were used to explore the contribution ...

A collection of miscellaneous continuous, semi-discrete, and discrete integrable
systems can be associated with each integrable evolution equation of the KdV type. We provide them for the Schwarz — KdV equation and generalize to the vector case. The existence
of these vector generalizations is a non-trivial found fact, no mathematical explanation of
which is known yet. ...

We investigate a special ansats that allows for an iterative solution of the constant Yang-Baxter equation. Testing this ansatz, we construct four sequences of the constant R-matrices. In each sequence the R-matrices act on the tensor squares of vector spaces of linearly growing dimensions. Each R-matrix also depends on a single complex parameter.
By analyzing the ...

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...
