Introduction. Remote and hard-to-reach areas of Southern Siberia (Tuva, Khakassia and Altai) suffer from chronic electricity deficit due to the lack of centralized power supply, forcing the population to rely on expensive diesel generators.
Goal. The study aims to substantiate the prospects for using hybrid energy systems based on solar power plants (SPP), taking into account the specifics of winter generation, in particular, the application of technology for utilizing light reflected from snow to increase efficiency during the winter period.
Materials and methods. The work uses comparative and cartographic analysis methods. Statistical data on insolation and sunshine duration, snow cover characteristics in the Republic of Tuva, technical and economic indicators of diesel generation, and foreign experience (Norway) in operating SPPs with vertically arranged panels were analyzed.
Results and discussion. It has been established that the cost of electricity from diesel generators in remote settlements of Tuva reaches50 RUB/kWh or more. At the same time, the solar energy potential in the southern regions of the republic exceeds 5 kWh/m² per day. It is shown that the use of technology utilizing light reflected from snow cover (albedo up to 96%) can theoretically increase the winter output of SPPs by 30-50%, compensating for the seasonal insolation minimum. It makes hybrid systems (SPP + energy storage) an economically viable alternative.
Conclusion. The development of solar energy based on the proposed approach can provide reliable and cheaper (as compared to diesel generation) power supply to energy-deficient regions of Southern Siberia, which can create conditions for socio-economic development of the territories and increase their energy security.

Introduction. Against the backdrop of accelerating urbanization and the transformation of economic models, the urban entrepreneurial stratum emerges as a key social actor. Its economic behavior and social sentiments directly reflect the effectiveness of state governance and macroeconomic stability, serving as a critical marker of the socio-political resilience.
Goal. The study analyzes the role of the urban entrepreneurial stratum as a structural indicator of political system resilience under conditions of institutional transformation and socio-economic change.
Materials and methods. The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach synthesizing Max Weber’s concepts of legitimacy, Karl Polanyi’s «embeddedness» of the market, and Theda Skocpol’s structural theory of revolutions. The empirical basis includes a comparative analysis of Iran’s historical experience, as well as modern socio-economic processes in Central Asian countries, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Results and discussion. It is established that the loyalty of entrepreneurs is determined by institutional predictability and the protection of their economic interests, while their discontent signals a crisis in state governance. The Iranian case demonstrates how the restriction of “bazaar” autonomy led to its participation in the 1979 revolution, while subsequent economic monopolization by quasi-state structures provoked the erosion of business loyalty. Analysis of Central Asian countries reveals regional features: dependence on migration flows and informal networks reduces the likelihood of political mobilization by redirecting social pressure abroad, yet makes entrepreneurs a sensitive indicator of institutional maturity.
Conclusion. The urban entrepreneurial stratum serves as a universal barometer of state governance quality. For Central Asian states, maintaining a balance between state control and the economic autonomy of business is a key condition for long-term stability and the successful modernization of political systems.

Introduction. Classical methods of corporate asset management overlook the impact of external environmental uncertainty. Under the influence of macro- and mesofactors, corporations, especially at the regional level, that have not timely restructured their asset management system, inevitably face increasing financial threats and lose their market positions, which proves the relevance of the transition to a cyclical model of corporate asset management. The object of the study is the process of managing the assets of a small regional corporation, the subject is economic and financial relations in the formation and implementation of this strategy.
Goal. The study develops and substantiates a cyclical model for managing corporate assets.
Materials and methods. The methodology includes analysis (comparative, vertical, horizontal), synthesis, induction, deduction, method of financial ratios and.
Results and discussion. The priority of the cyclical strategy of corporate asset management is substantiated according to the dynamism criterion, special fundamental principles of its formation are introduced, the implementation of which allows for a timely adaptation of the composition, structure of assets, and sources of their financing to changing macroeconomic conditions, ensuring financial stability and reducing vulnerability to external shocks.
Conclusion. The inconsistency of traditional asset management models is proven. The importance of implementing the principle of financial flexibility for small regional corporations is highlighted: maintaining sufficient liquidity and diversifying funding sources reduces vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks. According to the authors, managing corporate assets across economic cycle phases is a holistic strategic financial management paradigm that requires a shift from a reactive, static approach to proactive, dynamic management of balance sheet composition and structure. The practical significance lies in reducing the likelihood of excessive asset growth by limiting unjustified expansion during the growth phase, ensuring the maintenance of equilibrium.

Introduction. Along with rapid technological development and the growing role of artificial intelligence, the issue of the appropri ateness of its use in education becomes particularly relevant. The main issue that scientists and practitioners are trying to resolve concerns the optimal boundaries of the relationship between natural and artificial intelligence, the extent to which the use of neural networks for educational purposes is justified, and whether information progress will become a regress for learners.
Goal. The article aims to study the potential capabilities of humans in their relationship with artificial intelligence and to identify the specific features of their interaction within the educational process.
Materials and methods. The study employs system-activity, sociocultural, cognitive-behavioral, personal, and synergetic approaches, as well as the monographic method, analysis of scientific literature and regulatory legal documents, generalization, systematization, and abstraction.
Results and discussion. The transformational processes in the structural and systemic organization of natural intelligence serve as the starting point for technological innovations, creating a competitive dynamic between it and artificial intelligence. Humans are capable of thinking in ways similar to neural networks, but unlike the latter, they lack speed and power. The disadvantages of using artificial intelligence in the educational process are not offset by its advantages. Furthermore, the issue of insufficient development of regulatory legal acts concerning the operation and limits of artificial intelligence, as well as ethical norms for its application in education, remains relevant.
Conclusion. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the field of education is undergoing a stage of structural and semantic transformation. Educators, teachers, mentors, and learners are being assisted by neural networks, pre-trained transformers, and chatbots with generative artificial intelligence. The latter is becoming a direct competitor to natural intelligence and a potential threat to humans; however, its reasonable and safe application frees individuals from the routine search and processing of information, accelerates the process of data collection, and helps in reproducing and transforming data.
