Dybskaya V., Sergeyev V., РИСК: Ресурсы, информация, снабжение, конкуренция 2025 № 2 С. 11–17
The origins and importance of supply chain management (SCM) in the modern economy are analyzed. It is shown that the USP is a continuation and development of the concept of integrated business logistics. The evolution of logistics from the 1960s to the 2000s is presented. The main functionality of the ADC for business organizations is ...

~520 million years ago, the long biogeochemical history of our planet Earth resulted in a biodiversity burst. The rapid diversification of animals known as the Cambrian explosion (1); transformed planetary ecosystems with novel habitats and food chains (2, 3). However, this emergence of Paleozoic biodiversity (4) is still mysterious due to limited information about basal metazoans ...

The paper examines the issue of the humane in the human being in the context of the dialectic between ideals and reality. Reflecting on discussions about human essence leads to the conclusion of its inherent indeterminacy and the multiplicity of potential capabilities within each individual, which develop throughout life. The distinction between ideal and reality ...

An important question in cogntive and evolutionary psychology is how the human mind anticipates the future and copes with stress and risk of disease. The parasite-stress model suggests that many patterns of human behavior and thought are adaptations to varying levels of exposure to parasites and pathogens. A growing body of health psychology research shows ...

This volume, “Navigating Complexity in Big History—Exploring Periodization Across Cosmic and Biosocial Dimensions” explores the aspects and proposals for periodization of Big History. This includes considering cross-cutting aspects of measuring complexity (e.g., energy, information, or a combination), considering different mechanisms of natural selection, developing a set of criteria to base the evaluation of frameworks, and ...

Not so many would argue with identifying complexity as a central concept in Big History and universal evolutionism. It is partly because, perhaps, today, many of us are convinced that not only our world but Universe itself is in a state of major change, and the awareness that we are living in a period of ...

Navigating Complexity in Big History. Exploring Periodization Across Cosmic and Biosocial Dimensions
David J. L., L. Grinin, Korotayev A., Springer, 2025.
In the editors’ introduction (Chapter 1), the effort to periodize is placed within the historical context along with considerations from complexity science. Subsequent chapters explore various aspects of periodization and complexity by (a) identifying symmetrical cosmic and biosocial trends, (b) testing rigor and criteria for evaluating periodization, (c) attempting to integrate different approaches through multiple ...

The recently published book by Alexey Koshelev addresses the fundamental questions of contemporary linguistic theory on the emergence of concepts and propositions, the nature and structure of human categories and the impact of culture on thought and language. In seeking answers to these questions, the author engages in a stimulating and prolific debate with the ...

A previous study compared the symmetries of the cooling after the Big Bang and the development of life, humans, and civilization on Earth. A simple model of the relative rates of change depicts two cones joined at their bases representing the Big Bang expansion and the acceleration of complexity development on earth through life evolution, ...

The grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which develops directly from the gynoecium. Morphological interpretation of the grass gynoecium remains controversial. We re-examine earlier hypotheses and studies of morphology and development in the context ...

Relevance. The development of central place theory has been hindered by its static nature, as it fails to capture transitions between equilibrium states in central place systems. This long-standing problem remains unsolved since the theory's inception 90 years ago. This article presents a solution by examining the cases of system unification and system breakup, where ...

The complete mitochondrial genome from the Pleistocene stallion horse (Equus cf. lenensis) which complete skull was found in 1901 on Kotelny Island (New Siberian Archipelago, Sakha Republic, Russia) is published in this paper. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is 16,584 base pairs (bp) in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes. ...

In somatic cells, microRNAs (miRNAs) bind to the genomes of RNA viruses and influence their translation and replication. In London and Berlin samples represented in GISAID database, we traced severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineages and divided these sequenced in two groups, “Ancestral variants” and “Omicrons,” and analyzed them through the prism of ...

RNA interference in vertebrates acts as an antiviral mechanism only in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and mediates through microRNAs. In somatic cells, microRNA host cells also bind to the genomes of RNA viruses, regulating their translation and replication. It has been shown that (+)RNA viruses are able to evolve under the influence of host cell ...

SARS-CoV-2 has adapted in a stepwise manner, with multiple beneficial mutations accumulating in a rapid succession at origins of VOCs, and the reasons for this are unclear. Here, we searched for coordinated evolution of amino acid sites in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Specifically, we searched for concordantly evolving site pairs (CSPs) for which changes ...

Amino acid propensities at a site change in the course of protein evolution. This may happen for two reasons. Changes may be triggered by substitutions at epistatically interacting sites elsewhere in the genome. Alternatively, they may arise due to environmental changes that are external to the genome. Here, we design a framework for distinguishing between ...

The rate of evolution differs between protein sites and changes with time. However, the link between these two phenomena remains poorly understood. Here, we design a phylogenetic approach for distinguishing pairs of amino acid sites that evolve concordantly, i.e., such that substitutions at one site trigger subsequent substitutions at the other; and also pairs of ...
