Krivonosov P. N., Matrosova S. V. Keywords: black soldier fly, rainbow trout, fish food, aquaculture	The Use of Compound Feeds with Different Concentrations of Hermetia Illucens Larvae Biomass for Rainbow Trout in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems The article addresses the use of compound feeds containing an additive based on the larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) for the cultivation of rainbow trout in recirculating aquaculture systems. It presents data on the size and weight characteristics of fish obtained during the test administration of feeds containing varying concentrations of the insect-based additive. The findings demonstrate that the use of feed with insect larval biomass positively influences growth performance and reduces feed conversion from 1.08 to 0.87.
Burovsky A. A. Keywords: Soviet intelligence, collaborationism, Latvian police battalions, Latvian Legion, occupation policy, card system, money maintenance	Latvian Collaborators Through the Eyes of Soviet Naval Intelligence The article examines previously unpublished sources obtained by Soviet intelligence regarding the formation of police battalions by the German occupation administration in Latvia.

Khareva M. I. Keywords: Fyodor Abramov, Nikolai Fyodorov, kinship, patrophication, Pelageya, Alka	«A Tale of Mother and Daughter» by Fyodor Abramov in the Context of Philosophical Ideas of Nikolai Fyodorov Many critics have analyzed the images of the main heroines in Fyodor Abramov's novels Pelageya and Alka, yet their interpretations are similar in many respects. A new reading opens up when we turn to the philosophical ideas of Nikolai Fyodorov, alongside with Abramov's diary entries and preparatory notes for his novels. The author created the characters of Pelageya and Alka in the spirit of Fyodorov's ideas, endowing them with strong personalities, passion for life, and unwavering resistance to death. The study denostrates that through these vibrant female characters Abramov in his own way interpreted eternal problems such as the conflict of generations and the confrontation between town and countryside.
Florinskii A. A. Keywords: validation, dynamic model, calibration, configurable parameters, cost function, genetic algorithm, active power, voltage	Validation of a Power System Dynamic Model Implemented in the Modelica Language This study has been fueled by the need for a reliable assessment of power system behavior based on its computer model.
