Oil and gas are the drivers of many economic and production activities, so they have a crucial place in economic growth and development. South Pars/North Dome gas field is the world's largest gas field between Iran and Qatar, which needs to be properly developed and utilized. Iran and Qatar jointly own this field and they have the responsibility to develop appropriate strategies for oil and gas exploitation. This study analyzes four static Nash equilibrium game models and the optimal strategies between Iran and Qatar to exploit their common resource. Iran's extraction capacity is assumed to be affected by international sanctions, which leads to inequality of extraction capacity. The different conditions of the model include "equal resource allocation and equal extractive capacity", "unequal allocation with equal extractive capacity", "equal allocation with unequal extractive capacity" and "unequal allocation with unequal extractive capacity". The results of the study show that in the first two scenarios, in which neither country is sanctioned, both countries must decide not to commit to cooperation. However, in the latter two scenarios, when Iran is under sanctions and has weaker extractive power, it should adopt a cooperative policy, while Qatar should adopt a noncooperative approach. Thus, a country's decision to participate in the exploitation of shared resources depends on its extractive power rather than resource allocation. Consequently, it can be argued that Iran and Qatar's shared gas field, which is unequally divided, is significantly affected by sanctions. Iran's sanctions caused its production capacity to decrease, and it adopted a strategy of cooperation with Qatar. At the same time, Qatar's dominant strategy is non-cooperation. As a result, Iran suffers from exploitation of common resources under sanctions.

The abstract describes the construction of a binary classification model for predicting the type of job advertisement in cloud-based ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) as either legitimate or fraudulent. Various machine learning algorithms can be employed to address this issue. Traditional classification algorithms, including LSVC (Support Vector Machine), GBT (Gradient Boosting Tree), and RF (Random Forest), have been chosen for this study. One approach to building such a model involves identifying and collecting relevant attributes or features that can help distinguish fraudulent job advertisements from legitimate ones. Some features that could be useful in detecting fraudulent job ads include job location, job description, job requirements, job responsibilities, company information, and recruiter data. Subsequently, different machine learning algorithms can be trained on prepared datasets using standard methods such as cross-validation to assess their performance. The performance of the trained models can be evaluated using various metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. Ultimately, the most effective model can be selected based on these evaluation metrics and deployed in a production environment, where it can classify job advertisements as fraudulent or legitimate. It's important to note that the model should also undergo continuous evaluation and updates over time to ensure its reliability and effectiveness. Based on the evaluation metrics, it was concluded that the GBT classifier exhibits higher performance and accuracy compared to the LinearSVC and RF classifiers on the given dataset. However, it should be considered that the GBT classifier requires more time for training and prediction; GBT takes 208.738579 seconds, while LSVC and RF take 64.267132 and 71.024914 seconds, respectively. Taking into account the evaluation results, the GBT model was utilized for the operational aspect of the program. For implementation of the prediction, machine learning was performed on GBT, RF, and LSVC using a custom dataset called "Job_Fraud," created based on the publicly available EMSCAD dataset. To address the significant data imbalance, an implementation of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) from a library was utilized. Initially, a model was obtained and trained on the data using a classifier, removing stop-words through TFIDFVectorizer in the vector space. Then, after reducing the dimensionality of the data, the data was reloaded, and both the model and vectorizer were retrained before being used for prediction. The tkinter module was used for the graphical interface. The predict() function utilizes the trained model for predictions based on the feature vector.

The article includes the results of research on the effect of different dosages of sage powder on quality indicators of wheat flour of the highest grade, dough and baked bread. Insignificant changes in the moisture content of mixture samples, an increase in titratable acidity, and a decrease in the weight fraction of crude gluten with simultaneous strengthening were found. High indicators of finished bread appearance of all experimental samples, good condition of crumb, change of colour, taste and smell with increasing of dosage of sage powder from 0.25 to 2.5 % of flour weight were noted. Physico-chemical indicators of wheat bread quality of all experimental samples were registered within the standardised norms. According to the results of tasting analysis the best sample containing 1.5 % of sage powder from the weight of wheat flour was selected. The selected product had high microbiological parameters at the end of shelf life. It is proposed to use sage powder as a phytoactive additive to improve the quality indicators of bread and give it a functional purpose.

The results of studies on modeling the composition of a composition based on plant raw materials for functional purposes in post-Covid syndrome are presented. The characteristics of the symptoms of the post-Covid state and the influence of nutritional support on its prevention are given, and the functional role of the phytocomponents of the composition in post-Covid conditions is described. When modeling the composition, the calculated amounts of nutrients with antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties, as well as the organoleptic characteristics of the mixture, were taken as a criterion that gives the mixture a functional orientation. The optimal ratio of the recipe components of the composition has been developed, a technological scheme for its preparation has been developed, and the organoleptic properties and nutritional value have been described. Based on the research results, the functionality of the resulting phytocomposition and the advisability of its use for the enrichment of various groups of food products were substantiated.

The advisability of enriching cookies with essential nutrients missing from the diet is dictated by the fact that it is a product in demand. Cookies enriched with plant materials will provide the population with “healthy nutrition” products. Based on the research, recipes and technologies for functional flour products with the addition of crushed nut kernels with an optimal particle size of 2-3 mm have been developed; the optimal ratios in recipe compositions were determined, which is 10% per 1 ton of product, recipes and technologies for enriched flour confectionery products were developed. The article also describes indicators of the quality of products, provides an assessment of consumer properties, nutritional value and safety of functional flour products.

Using statistical methods of visualization of experimental data, the use of artificial intelligence for the development of optimal food formulations in terms of qualitative characteristics is justified. Using the example of sausage products, a method for identifying the prescription composition of food products has been developed for comparison with the indicators of technical documentation. The assessment of the adequacy of the chemical and amino acid compositions of the formulations of the technical documentation confirmed the effectiveness of the developed methodology.

The spectral properties and thermal stability of cyclodextrins:curcuminoids nanocomplexes were characterized by the use of the methods of IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The changes in the activation energy of thermal destruction of curcuminoids during the formation of nanocomplexes were calculated. In the model system for the reduction of the radical cation ABTS˙+, IC50 values were determined for nanocomplexes of curcuminoids with β-cyclodextrin (Curc:β-CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Curc:HP-β-CD), obtained by co-evaporation and lyophilization at a ratio of 1:2, which were 1.076 g/L and 0.161 g/L, respectively. Using the Ames test, the presence of antimutagenic activity of the drugs Curc:β-CD and Curc:HP-β-CD was demonstrated. When Curc:HP-β-CD 1:2 nanocomplexes were added to the incubation medium of the drug, a significant decrease in the frequency of mutagenesis was observed by 50% compared to the control. The use of Curc:β-CD 1:2 nanocomplexes as a wound-healing agent on a skin patch wound model in Wistar rats showed the course of the regenerative process along the path of organotypic regeneration.

Dermatological reactions are one of the most common manifestations of the paraneoplastic process. Paraneoplastic syndromes include non-oncological diseases that arise under the influence of hormones nd biologically active substances secreted by the tumor. In some cases, paraneoplastic syndrome allows the diagnosis of malignant neoplasm in the early stages, but, unfortunately, it can mask the tumor process with its pronounced manifestations, which leads to the late establishment of the true cause of the disease and belated special treatment. Description of the clinical case. This article will present clinical case of patient with dermatological reactions in gastric cancer. Patient P. 36 years old, complaints of pigmentation of the skin in the neck, armpits, inguinal region and elbow flexions; seizure-like it ching.Three years ago he received treatment for pityriasis versicolor.

The article presents a new complex discipline of political media geography as an applied political science. Political media geography studies the processes, specifics and diversity of linearly organized media spaces. Attention is focused on the fact that there is a strong anziotropy of geographical locations in terms of the reaction of the population to political processes.

Innovations are now becoming more relevant and in demand. Every day, more and more companies around the world start a great innovation activity. But, like any other business, entrepreneurship requires protection. Legal protection of innovation refers to laws and regulations that act to protect the intellectual property rights of inventors, creators and businesses. These remedies are designed to encourage innovation by ensuring that the fruits of the innovators' labor are not stolen or misused by others. This article discusses the basic principles of legal protection of innovation, as well as examples of the difficulties that authors face in protecting their rights.

The article addresses the issues of the destructive information and psychological impact of the collective west on the population of the post-Soviet space, including the member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization and their institutionalization in the regulatory and statutory documents of the CSTO. The path of the problem under study was analyzed: from the complete absence of the CSTO in official documents to the recognition of "priority" in matters of ensuring collective security and bringing information threats to the same level with threats from the military, political, economic and terrorist. The content of the basic concepts and terms of the information security sphere related to the aspect of destructive information and psychological impact has been clarified.

The purpose of this article is to comparatively analyze the work carried out by the leading countries in the UN and the SCO on international information security (IIS). The UN activities in the sphere of IIoS are disclosed in the working formats of the GGE and the OEWG. The authors show that the Russian side is moving from the goal of establishing an international regime of non-proliferation of information weapons to the creation of an international regime of non-use of information weapons on critical infrastructures. The article notes that the Western approach has evolved from recognizing that there is no need to create additional norms to the norms of international law and the need to develop an international universal, legally binding instrument to the exact opposite objectives. Based on the highlighted areas of comparison between the UN and the SCO, the authors conclude that, unlike the UN, the SCO addresses the problem of cyber threats promptly and consistently through several forms of interaction (at least four): signing international documents, creating and developing regional institutions to combat cyber threats, etc. At the UN level, work is carried out only in two areas, which requires improvement and expansion of these areas.

The change in the geopolitical landscape, which occurred under the influence of the COVID19 pandemic and the beginning of a special military operation, served to change the foreign policy course of the Russian Federation. The pandemic has significantly reduced the population and had a devastating impact on the economies of almost all countries of the world. The special military operation announced by the President of the Russian Federation in February 2022 had an impact on all EU countries and the United States, which sided with Ukraine. Supplies of ammunition, weapons, military equipment, as well as large financial resources were aimed at weakening Russia's military potential. Under these conditions, Russia has put forward the thesis that a unipolar world can no longer exist, and in the new geopolitical conditions, we should talk about multipolarity. The introduction of anti–Russian sanctions has determined another vector of development of Russia's economy and politics - the Global South. The countries of the African continent and the Middle East, adopting Russia's policy of non-interference in the affairs of other countries, although rather cautiously, are developing cooperation with the Russian Federation. Russia is choosing a new vector of cooperation in the context of building a multipolar world, which should be built on the basis of the laws of mutual respect, mutually beneficial cooperation and international law. Russia's return to the Middle East and African countries has serious grounds, as it is based on the experience of the USSR in building enterprises, infrastructure facilities, creating jobs and training personnel. At the same time, time dictates new areas of cooperation, among which the most relevant are: the fight against international terrorism, the suppression of drug trafficking, the prevention of illegal arms trade, issues of peaceful settlement and information security on the territory of the African continent and the Middle East. Russia stands for expanding its presence in the regional markets of weapons, nuclear fuel, oil and gas. Much attention in matters of cooperation between Russia and the countries of the Global South is paid to building a strategic partnership in the field of agriculture, which would help prevent a food crisis in individual countries and increase their own agricultural production. Russia is ready to act as the main supplier of mineral fertilizers and agricultural products. The most urgent problems to be solved in the region are still the construction of nuclear power plants, the development of oil and gas fields, and the production of petrochemical products. In these matters, the Russian Federation is ready to act as a partner providing its specialists and technologies. The leaders of the countries of the Great South are showing great interest in the development of digital technologies and banking. Special attention is paid to participation in space exploration. The Russian Federation is making efforts to expand its diplomatic presence and establish a political dialogue with the countries of the Global South, as a result of attracting them to participate in long–term alliances.

The article discusses the Vatican's public diplomacy tools, specifically the phenomenon of sports diplomacy. Sports diplomacy is a new tool for the realization of soft power by the Vatican, which gained its relevance during the pontificate of Francis I. This type of cultural diplomacy is characterized by significant dynamism, connection with socio-economic and political trends, and for a long time was out of the Vatican's sight due to moral and ethical contradictions inherent in this type of public diplomacy, as well as the lack of resources for the implementation of initiatives in this area. The contradictory nature of sports diplomacy for the Vatican is due, on the one hand, to the "ideal" sport's focus on the cultivation of moral and ethical values approved by the Roman Catholic Church (compassion, respect, love, harmony, and joy), and, on the other hand, to the political engagement and business orientation of "real" professional sport. Due to the traditional role of the RCC as a source of moral and ethical guidelines for Catholic society, sports diplomacy for the Vatican involves significant reputational risks. These risks stem from many factors, among them: the exploitation of athletes, the spread of dishonest sporting behavior (e.g., doping) within sports organizations, and the inconsistency with the values imposed by the sports industry, among them body worship, hedonism, consumerism, hoarding, individualism, and the obsession with success. In many ways, the emergence of this tool has been a forced measure and is linked to the changing territorial distribution and national composition of Catholicism, which has necessitated the need to find new ways to establish a dialogue with the Vatican's target audience, which is predominantly made up of people from developing countries in the global South. These circumstances have led to a decline in the popularity of the RCC and its doctrines, as well as a decline in the attractiveness of the Christian way of life and Christian values among believers. They have also become an indicator for the RCC of the need to respond to the changes that have taken place and to seek new tools of public diplomacy that can bring the Church back to the attention of its target audience. The article examines the Vatican's views on the values of sport and the sports industry, discussing their relevance to Christian values, as well as acceptable formats for the Vatican's participation in the sporting life of society. The article discusses the Vatican's priorities, including its predominant focus on amateur sports. At the same time, it reveals evidence of the Vatican's intention to increase its representation in professional sports, which is expressed in the creation of specialized agencies, inclusion in sports associations and societies, and involvement of professional athletes. The current limitations of Vatican sports diplomacy are also examined. Conclusions are drawn about the Vatican's interest in the development of sports diplomacy and its desire to use this tool to achieve strategic goals.

The problem of Nagorno-Karabakh's ownership remains relevant when considering Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, despite the fact that Armenia has actually recognized Azerbaijan's sovereignty over it. In this regard, the article, based on the analysis of documents and statements of political figures from countries interested in resolving pressing issues of regional security in the South Caucasus, examines the modern policies of Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and other geopolitical players in the region, in particular their position regarding problems of Nagorno-Karabakh within the framework of the Armenian-Azerbaijani confrontation, as the most important component of the entire system of international relations in the South Caucasus.

The article discusses the current methodology for studying the potential for conflict in network discourse in multiethnic regions of the North Caucasus. The verbal sphere, previously considered as a derivative of the real relations of various subjects, acquires independent significance in the information society. Targeted influence on human consciousness is realized through the targeted use of verbal and nonverbal means and techniques aimed at demarcation, splitting and conflict mobilization. The significance of studying the potential for conflict in the network discourse of multi-ethnic regions of the North Caucasus is determined, first of all, by the possibility of using them to further reduce the risks of ethno-confessional conflict in the regions of the North Caucasus and prevent radicalism among youth. The study of confrontation and radicalization of online content, forecasting potential conflicts, identifying motivational factors of conflict genesis in multi-ethnic regions may be in demand within the framework of the work of government bodies related to ensuring national security, countering terrorism, radicalism and extremism.

Political carnival is understood as a distorted world in which the three main demons rule – lies, evil and amoralism. They create a perverted view of objective reality. Carnival figures look at the world with tightly closed eyes and do not see what everyone easily contemplates. Political carnival is evaluated as devaluation of political values, as deviation of ruling elite groups, and as a destructive force capable of destroying a political system in crisis. The world of political carnival is a world of absurdity, falsification and hypocrisy. It is a facade brought to political cynicism. Its crooked mirrors reflect the vices of human nature, such as: vanity, corruption, hypocrisy, sanctimony, pride, etc. All these vices are not hidden, but, on the contrary, they are praised and cultivated. It is as an aggressive advertisement of vices that we appreciate the essence of political carnival. It is a world where each keeps the other on the hook of compromise. They easily adopt the psychosis of the other. The madness of one becomes the madness of all. At any moment they can pretend to be anyone. In this sense, the political carnival is an epidemic of amoralism. And this existential threat is something that humanity is constantly confronted with. In the structure of such evil, certain types and archtypes of carnival political culture are constantly reproduced. It is to the analysis of these types that the present study is devoted.
