Strategizing as a New Field of Professional Knowledge by Murad Kamilovich Alimuradov, Lyudmila Ivanovna Vlasyuk

“…In Russia, there is practically no fullfledged perception of the “strategist” profession, although in the world’s leading universities, the approach to strategy as an independent profession that can be learned is widely implemented. In modern Russian realities, economic agents of all levels present strategic documents in one form or another, but they are developed, as a rule, by people who do not have special knowledge and skills of theory and practice of strategic planning. …”

Vehicle Routing Simulation for Prediction of Commuter’s Behaviour by Przemysław Szufel, Bartosz Pankratz, Anna Szczurek, Bogumił Kamiński, Paweł Prałat

We present a new agent-based model that combines the efficient discrete-event approach to modeling with the intelligent drivers who are capable to learn about their environment in the long-term perspective from both, individual experience, and widely available social knowledge. …”

Critical spin models from holographic disorder by Dimitris Saraidaris, Alexander Jahn

“…Discrete models of holographic dualities, typically modeled by tensor networks on hyperbolic tilings, produce quantum states with a characteristic quasiperiodic disorder not present in continuum holography. In this work, we study the behavior of XXZ spin chains with such symmetries, showing that lessons learned from previous non-interacting (matchgate) tensor networks generalize to more generic Hamiltonians under holographic disorder: While the disorder breaks translation invariance, site-averaged correlations and entanglement of the disorder-free critical phase are preserved at a plateau of nonzero disorder even at large system sizes. …”

Gammes de mémoire by Dominique Viart

“…But literature itself, which transcribes the experience, brings many elements to the knowledge of this function: whether we think of the genre of Memoirs, of Proust's “involuntary memory” or of “Brulard's syndrome”, according to Stendhal. I propose to present an analysis of the “ranges of memory” that contemporary French literature makes us discover, focusing on the most original ones, according to a double approach: methods of execution and works which deploy them. …”
