Development of E-government in Russia: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Litvinova T. N.
Published: January 2019

Introduction. The article gives an assessment of the e-government development in Russia from 2008 to 2018. E-government contributes to the development of the state’s information infrastructure, improves the effciency of public service delivery to the society and attracts the public to participate in the process of developing and adopting government decisions. The article presents a comparative analysis of the development of the electronic government of Russia with other countries. The key issues of improving e-government in Russia are identifed on the basis of the UN e-government development index. This indicator allows assessing whether the state is ready to provide electronic public services to citizens and what are its opportunities for using information and communication technologies in providing these services.

Materials and methods. Electronic government has become the subject of a wide range of disciplines, including political communication and sociology. Currently, scientists are paying increasing attention to the intersection of technological factors, equipment and culture in the adoption and use of information and communication technologies (ICT), e-government research has begun to demonstrate some diversifcation. Russian scientists mostly focus on the statistic data of implementation of egovernment and consequences for governance and society. This investigation is based on following methods: 1) content-analysis of offcial documents of the Russian Federation concerning e-government; 2) declarations and interviews of offcial authorities; 3) monitoring of mass media; 3) international and national statistics data analysis.

Study results. Russia has relatively good indicators of e-government development in the world (according to UN e-Government Development Index), and the introduction of e-government is quite fast. But, in comparison with the leading countries, Russia still lags far behind in many respects because of: huge territory; low level of distribution of electronic services; low activity of mobile communication; weak dynamics of the increase in the number of Internet users; lack of the necessary law regulatory framework; low computer literacy of many government offcials.

Value-based Consumer Disidentification and its Impact on Consumers’ Reactions to Corporate Crisis
Authors: Ruppel Christopher
Published: January 2019

The threat of a corporate crisis depends strongly on stakeholders’ perception of crisis responsibility, which can be influenced by individual factors. Whereas former research has highlighted the buffering effects of good public-organization relationships, this research focuses on disidentified consumers, who see a company as misrepresentative of their selves and rejection of the company is part of their identity construction. Disidentified consumers are in no steady relationship with a company, but a crisis of a rejected company should be a welcome situation for self-verification and bring them as opponents to the scene. In an exploratory experiment it can be demonstrated that perceived value incongruity is a driver of consumer disidentification. Furthermore, disidentified consumers tend to attribute responsibility to the company also in a victim crisis and are generally eager to spread negative word of mouth about a company during a crisis. Beyond this, the notion that disidentified consumers actually enjoy a crisis, receives some support by the finding that consumer disidentification triggers schadenfreude.
Teaching pervasive skills to South African accounting students
Authors: Barac K , Du Plessis L
Published: January 2019

Professional accountants need to retain and maintain a broad skills set. In response to this need, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) emphasises the mastering of pervasive skills in its competency framework and expects South African universities offering its accredited programmes to produce graduates able to demonstrate such skills at acceptable levels of competence upon entry into the workplace. This study investigates the manner in which SAICA-accredited South African universities offer and teach pervasive skills, and attempts to determine whether heads of departments have identified the teaching of these skills as being the responsibility of the university, or not. These views were solicited through an e-mailed questionnaire. The study found that although the development of pervasive skills is an outcome largely included in these accredited undergraduate programmes, their presentation and integration into the courses vary considerably, and more integration of pervasive skills into course majors should be considered. Teaching methods and practices followed by the universities show significant diversity, and this result corresponds with those reported elsewhere in the literature. It is a concern that there is only limited use of research-based projects in these undergraduate programmes. An interesting finding of the study was that heads of departments perceive the acquisition of some pervasive skills to be best achieved in the real-world, practical workplace, rather than in the theoretical confines of the universitiesâ€™ lectures and tutorials.

Sovereign Wealth Funds: Continuation and Proliferation of a State of Exception
Authors: YAYLA Yavuz
Published: January 2019

One of the most controversial financial tool that has been come into the agenda in recent years is the Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) reached globally USD 7 trillion 450 billion and it reached USD 40 billion in our country. The SWFs which are formed on account of certain macroeconomic and microeconomic causes, are at the position to affect either domestic or international economics. These funds are generally formed through budget surpluses or the revenue to be gained from natural sources such as oil. The most important discussion and critics on the SWFs is the formation of these funds with public resources. Especially, the countries having not export surplus or natural resource revenue recently started to form these funds.

In this paper, we will have a look on economic and political developments of the SWF since 1816 when the Crédit Mobilier was formed until today. Additionally, the aims of formation, functions, resources and audit of the SWFs will be considered. Finally, the properties of the sovereign wealth fund to be formed in Turkey will be examined to figure out the advantageous and disadvantageous it may cause for the economics.

Published: January 2019

Цель. Улучшение результатов лечения пациентов с рецидивными и резидуальными варикозно расширенными венами и варикозными узлами нижних конечностей (НК), развившимися после хирургического и эндовенозного лазерного методов лечения.

Материалы и методы. У 32 больных (21 женщины и 11 мужчин) в возрасте от 28 до 71 года выполнили миниинвазивную завершающую склеротерапию рецидивных и резидуальных варикозно измененных вен и варикозных узлов, развившихся после хирургического и эндовенозного лазерного методов лечения в 45 НК.

Результаты. По данным контрольной цветной ультразвуковой допплерографии установлена полная окклюзия подкожных вен и варикозных узлов во всех 45 НК без их реканализации. Транзиторный тромбофлебит развился у 3 пациентов. На чувство инородного тела в виде мелких хорд жаловались 3 пациента, парестезию и ощущение онемения - 2, экхимозы - 2. Эти осложнения не требовали специальных медикаментозных и физиотерапевтических методов лечения и спонтанно разрешились в течение 1 - 6 мес. Выраженных осложнений не наблюдали.

Выводы. У пациентов с неудовлетворительными результатами хирургического лечения хронической венозной недостаточности и варикозных узлов (частота рецидива составляет 48,1%, резидуальной патологии подкожных вен - 25,0%) требуется применение альтернативных миниинвазивных методов лечения. Комплексный подход и правильный выбор эндовенозных лазерных методов лечения позволяют достичь полной окклюзии подкожных вен у 97,37% этих пациентов, сократить частоту возникновения рецидива заболевания и выраженных осложнений до минимума. Больным с реканализацией подкожных вен, а также развитием рецидива и резидуальных явлений в НК целесообразно выполнение завершающей склеротерапии под местной инфильтрационной анестезией в амбулаторных условиях или в стационаре.

Analysis of the Exports Structure from the Russian Federation in the light of the Theory of Technological Structures
Authors: Linnikov A. S.
Published: January 2019

The state of the modern Russian economy is considered from the point of view of the technological structures concept. On the basis of this theory, the author presents a structural section of the domestic economy from the point of view of each technological structure, as well as a comparative analysis of data on the Russian economy with the performance of the economies of other countries of different technological development levels. In particular, such countries as Bangladesh, Singapore, Great Britain, China and Germany, as well as many other countries belonging to all groups of countries of the world economy, are taken as examples. The study was conducted to determine the degree of readiness of Russia to the transition to the so-called “sixth” economic structure, characterized by the emergence and development of new materials that increase the efficiency of use and service life of most previously invented items. The conclusions about the loss of Russia’s many achievements of the fifth technological structure, were made, which, of course, can complicate the transition to the sixth. The modernization of the country’s economy, based on the restoration and development of key sectors of the fourth and, especially, the fifth technological structures (ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, chemical industry, oil production and processing, software production, production of consumer goods, etc.). It is necessary to develop and modernize those sectors of the national economy that are currently operating in Russia, have a competitive advantage in the world market. The author does not propose to abandon the scientific and technological development. It is recommended to use the existing and future achievements of the sixth technological structure (borrowed abroad or developed independently) to increase the competitiveness of these economic sectors, as well as the transport infrastructure modernization, limiting the adverse impact of industry on the environment.
METHODS OF DETECTION OF DISEASES ON WHEAT CROPS ACCORDING TO REMOTE SENSING (overview)
Authors: Dubrovskaya O. A. , Gurova T. A. , Pestunov I. A. , Kotov K. Yu.
Published: January 2019

Nowadays multi- and hyperspectral data of remote sensing is widely used in many countries worldwide for agricultural lands monitoring. The issue of their application for detection and assessment of infestation of agricultural crops, damage from diseases and weeds is understudied both in Russia and abroad. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of various wheat diseases are key factors in crop production, contributing to the reduction of qualitative and quantitative crop losses, as well as improving the effectiveness of protective measures. The paper presents a review of up-to-date methods for detecting diseases and assessing the extent of crop damage by remote sensing of wheat using optical imaging systems, the most promising of which is hyperspectral imaging equipment. The identification spectra of healthy plants and the ones with signs of damage from the main fungal diseases as well as the correlation of spectra with the degree of damage are shown. To be able to effectively use the results of diagnostics and detection of diseases, the informational value of the spectral indices of vegetation in the detection of diseases is presented. A table of vegetation indices is given, calculated from the values of reflection coefficients in wide and narrow spectral ranges when determining wheat diseases. The use of optical methods in the monitoring of the main fungal diseases of wheat will accurately identify lesions of crops, reliably diagnose diseases and the extent of plant damage from diseases, and thereby provide support to agricultural producers in decision-making on timely and effective crop protection measures. The results of the review will be used to develop digital technology of early detection and lesion focalization of spring wheat and other agricultural crops.

Published: January 2019

The paper presents the results of research (2015– 2018) into the main factors affecting efficiency of agrocenosis of spring common wheat, cultivar Siberian Alliance, with various systems of soil tillage and renewable bio-resources in a grain-fallow rotation. The research was conducted in the northern forest-steppe of Kuznetsk Depression in a threecourse grain-fallow crop rotation (fallow-wheatpeas-barley, barley intercropped with melilot) in a long-term stationary experiment. Various soil tillage systems were applied (deep moldboard, deep combined, minimum combined, minimum moldboard) preceded by bare fallow and green-manured fallow with rape and melilot. The soil of the experimental plot was leached chernozem. Crops of spring common wheat were sown with all types of soil tillage systems by the tillage and sowing machine Tom’5.1. It was revealed that the main factor influencing the yield of spring common wheat is water availability in the planting periods – full tillering, (r = 0.9579), beginning of earring – yellow ripeness, (r = 0.9611; R = 0.9500). A positive effect on wheat productivity was made by cellulosolytic activity and soil structure. The direct correlation between these factors and the crop yield was established, r = 0.6366 – 0.7298 and r = 0.6343 – 0.7103 respectively. A negative effect on the yield of wheat was made by the development of root decay (Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem), (r = – 0.4808). It was established that alongside the above-mentioned fac tors, the significant effect on productivity of spring common wheat was made by the systems of soil tillage (72.4%,) and the predecessor (22.0 %). The optimum conditions in agrocenosis of spring common wheat for formation of its yield during the years of research proved to be created by green-manured fallow (with rape) with minimum moldboard and deep moldboard soil tillage (2.72 and 2.78 t/ha respectively), which is 0.55 and 0.51 t/ha higher compared to analogous soil tillage systems preceded by bare fallow – control. Minimum moldboard soil tillage has an economic advantage over others with profitability of 193.6% and production cost at 5,000 rubles per 1 ton of grain.

Published: January 2019

Introduction

During summer 2016, Norway observed an increase in Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Chester cases among travellers to Greece.

Aim

Our aim was to investigate genetic relatedness of S. Chester for surveillance and outbreak detection by core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) and compare the results to genome mapping.

Methods

We included S. Chester isolates from 51 cases of salmonellosis between 2000 and 2016. Paired-end sequencing (2 × 250 bp) was performed on Illumina MiSeq. Genetic relatedness by cgMLST for Salmonella
enterica subsp. enterica, including 3,002 genes and seven housekeeping genes, was compared by reference genome mapping with CSI Phylogeny version 1.4 and conventional MLST.

Results

Confirmed travel history was available for 80% of included cases, to Europe (n = 13), Asia (n = 12) and Africa (n = 16). Isolates were distributed into four phylogenetic clusters corresponding to geographical regions. Sequence type (ST) ST411 and a single-locus variant ST5260 (n = 17) were primarily acquired in southern Europe, ST1954 (n = 15) in Africa, ST343 (n = 11) and ST2063 (n = 8) primarily in Asia. Part of the European cluster was further divided into a Greek (n = 10) and a Cypriot (n = 4) cluster. All isolates in the African cluster displayed resistance to ≥ 1 class of antimicrobials, while resistance was rare in the other clusters.

Conclusion

Whole genome sequencing of S. Chester in Norway showed four geographically distinct clusters, with a possible outbreak occurring during summer 2016 related to Greece. We recommend public health institutes to implement cgMLST-based real-time Salmonella
enterica surveillance for early and accurate detection of future outbreaks and further development of cluster cut-offs.
Impact of whole genome sequencing on the investigation of food-borne outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli serogroup O157:H7, England, 2013 to 2017
Authors: Jenkins Claire , Dallman Timothy J , Grant Kathie A
Published: January 2019

We aim to provide insight and guidance on the utility of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data for investigating food-borne outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 in England between 2013 and 2017. Analysis of WGS data delivered an unprecedented level of strain discrimination when compared with multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis. The robustness of the WGS method ensured confidence in the microbiological identification of linked cases, even when epidemiological links were obscured. There was evidence that phylogeny derived from WGS data can be used to trace the geographical origin of an isolate. Further analysis of the phylogenetic data provided insight on the evolutionary context of emerging pathogenic strains. Publically available WGS data linked to the clinical, epidemiological and environmental context of the sequenced strain has improved trace back investigations during outbreaks. Expanding the use of WGS-based typing analysis globally will ensure the rapid implementation of interventions to protect public health, inform risk assessment and facilitate the management of national and international food-borne outbreaks of STEC O157:H7.
Experimental Sound Design for Wave Field Synthesis: Employing Low-Quality Voice Recordings into Spatial Audio for Art Installation
Authors: Bahia Mariana
Published: January 2019

This paper explores the intersection between high-end technology for immersive media and conceptual sound installations using low-quality audios. It discusses the concept of fidelity in sound reproduction and traces how this concept relates to the subject of identity and self through the recorded voice. I analyse art projects that use low-quality audio to address issues of self and how these projects can help presenting an alternative understanding of experimental sound design for spatial audio. Finally, I explore the issue through my own artistic research called This Alienness and Me, where I investigate the feeling of “not belonging” through personal voice recordings made with a cellphone. In my project the audios were juxtaposed using Wave Field Synthesis to create an immersive environment.

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans H) is native to Indonesia, which has been known as herbal plants.  Its planting areas, however, are often hindered by the presence of unwanted plants. Weeds are among the plant pest organisms (PPO), which inhibit the growth, development and productivity of crops. Identification of dominant weed species is the first step in determining the success of weed control. This research was conducted in Hutumury Village, Ambon, with an aim to determine weed species composition and dominant weed species in producing and non producing (juvenile) nutmeg plantations. The process of data collection in the field was undertaken by a survey method. The results showed 18 weed species were found in the plantation of non producing phase and 13 weed species were found in the plantation of producing phase.  In the producing plantation, the dominant weed species was Selaginella plana Heron with an SDR value of 57.80%. In the non producing plantation, the dominant weed was also Selaginella plana Heron with an SDR value of 44.42%.  The overall dominant weeds in the nutmeg plantations belonged to the annual broad leaf weeds.

This study aims was to determine the potential of water fern Azolla pinnata combined with biofertilizer (Azotobacter chroococcum N2-fixing bacteria and Pseudomonas cepaceae phosphate solublelizing bacteria) in improving N and P content of the soil, and yield of paddy rice crops. This research was conducted in lowland Sanggar Penelitian Latihan dan Pengembangan Pertanian (SPLPP), Ciparay Bandung regency. The experimental design used was randomized block design with factorial pattern that consists of two factors. The first factor that A. pinnata (A) consists of two levels, without A. pinnata and A. pinnata with as 3 tons ha-1. The second factor is the biological fertilizer (H) consists of 3 levels with doses of 0, 5, and 10 L ha-1. The results showed A. pinnata and biofertilizer do not interact to increased soil N and P, as well as lowland rice crops. However, A. pinnata independently can increase the content of available N and P soil, while the biofertilizer 10 L ha-1 is able to increase the available soil-P content compared with controls. The combination of A. pinnata and biofertilizers have not been able to increase the yield of rice significantly, but can increase the yield of rice by 16.1 % compared to the average yield of rice in paddy field locations in Ciparay Bandung regency

In this paper, we propose a novel simple technique by combining the experimental bright-ﬁeld imaging, Rayleigh or Mie scattering, and photon counts in order to investigate and distinguish the light scattering from nanohybrid polymer materials and its aggregation imaging. In particular, by studying the imaging of nanohybrid polymer and measuring its photon counts, we can demonstrate how big the different of photon counts of each images of nanohybrid polymer materials. Moreover, by combining bright-ﬁeld imaging with its photon counts in the framework of the generalized scattering theory, we show that this nanohybrid polymer exhibits the scattering differently based on the number of nanoparticles or aggregations. This novel technique can be widely applied in many different research works such as nanomedicine and nanotechnology.

Published: January 2019

The difficulties of burning the watered fuel oil used at the TPP as a reserve fuel for boilers are associated with its preparation by heating to reduce viscosity and the choice of a method of spraying with nozzles into the combustion zone. The quality of the preparation of fuel oil for combustion affecting the boiler efficiency is estimated by the length of the flame, the presence of burning large particles of fuel oil, the injection of coke and unburned particles onto screen and other heat-receiving surfaces. One of the ways to prepare fuel oil for combustion is cavitation treatment, which results in an emulsion consisting of fine micronsized particles. Heating of fuel oil particles after the nozzle in contact with the combustion zone is due to the flow of radiation from the burning torch. Therefore, in this article, the values of the flux density from the torch during the combustion of fuel oil are experimentally determined. The influence of particle size on the burning rate of the fuel oil M100 with the different density of the thermal radiation of the flame. It is found that the effect of cavitation treatment of fuel oil on the combustion rate is most significantly manifested in particle sizes less than 10 microns. For this purpose, the use of hydrodynamic cavitators are preferred at high fuel oil consumption rate.
Illuminating the Enactment of High-Leverage Teaching Practices in an Exemplary World Language Teaching Video Library
Authors: Zhai Ling
Published: January 2019

In response to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages’ initiative and the gap existing in identifying high-leverage teaching practices (HLTPs) in world language teaching, this study investigated and decomposed HLTPs in a video corpus of exemplary world language teachers. Specifically, this study clarified the definitions of some identified HLTPs and proposed one new practice—building connections to other content areas to promote students’ communicative competence. The proposed HLTP was broken down into component micro-practices and instructional moves illustrating the ways in which practices were enacted in particular classroom contexts. This line of research is important because only through making visible and breaking down instructional moves can novice teachers quickly grasp practices and truly learn to enact the teaching practice for themselves.
