Fabrication and evaluation of Ni-based air-cathode
Authors: Tsuji Yuhei , Nguyen Dang-Trang , Taguchi Kozo
Published: September 2020

This study focused on investigating low-cost but high-performance catalyst materials used for the air cathode of the aluminum-air battery. Nickel, in the form of Ni(OH)2, was used as the catalyst because it is abundant and low-cost. The activated carbon sheet was used as the substrate to load the catalyst. The solvothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize the catalyst. The advantage of the solvothermal method is that the particle size can be reduced under high temperature and pressure conditions. The operation of some types of air-cathodes was examined. UV-ozone treatment of the air-cathode has also been investigated to enhance the performance of the battery.
The Neurodevelopmental Hypothesis of Huntington’s Disease
Authors: van der Plas Ellen , Schultz Jordan L. , Nopoulos Peg C.
Published: September 2020

The current dogma of HD pathoetiology posits it is a degenerative disease affecting primarily the striatum, caused by a gain of function (toxicity) of the mutant mHTT that kills neurons. However, a growing body of evidence supports an alternative theory in which loss of function may also influence the pathology.This theory is predicated on the notion that HTT is known to be a vital gene for brain development. mHTT is expressed throughout life and could conceivably have deleterious effects on brain development. The end event in the disease is, of course, neurodegeneration; however the process by which that occurs may be rooted in the pathophysiology of aberrant development. To date, there have been multiple studies evaluating molecular and cellular mechanisms of abnormal development in HD, as well as studies investigating abnormal brain development in HD animal models. However, direct study of how mHTT could affect neurodevelopment in humans has not been approached until recent years. The current review will focus on the most recent findings of a unique study of children at-risk for HD, the Kids-HD study. This study evaluates brain structure and function in children ages 6–18 years old who are at risk for HD (have a parent or grand-parent with HD).

Published: September 2020

Genetically modified rodent models of Huntington’s disease (HD) have been especially valuable to our understanding of HD pathology and the mechanisms by which the mutant HTT gene alters physiology. However, due to inherent differences in genetics, neuroanatomy, neurocircuitry and neurophysiology, animal models do not always faithfully or fully recapitulate human disease features or adequately predict a clinical response to treatment. Therefore, conducting translational studies of candidate HD therapeutics only in a single species (i.e. mouse disease models) may not be sufficient. Large animal models of HD have been shown to be valuable to the HD research community and the expectation is that the need for translational studies that span rodent and large animal models will grow. Here, we review the large animal models of HD that have been created to date, with specific commentary on differences between the models, the strengths and disadvantages of each, and how we can advance useful models to study disease pathophysiology, biomarker development and evaluation of promising therapeutics.
Measurement of residual strain in tantalum-clad tungsten after hot isostatic pressing

Published: September 2020

Tantalum-clad tungsten targets are a popular choice for spallation neutron production, due to the combination of high neutron yield and corrosion resistance. Such targets typically use the Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) process to bond the cladding to the core; this produces a strong bond but also introduces large residual stresses in the target and cladding. This is of particular interest at the ISIS neutron source, because cladding breaches are currently believed to limit the lifetime of ISIS TS2 targets. Two different and complementary methods were used to measure the residual strain in a tantalum-clad tungsten strip manufactured using the same HIP process as ISIS targets. The strip was produced with deliberately asymmetric cladding, causing it to deflect in proportion to the residual stress. FEA simulations were used to back-calculate the stress from the measured deflection. The strip was then placed on the ISIS instrument ENGIN-X, which allowed detailed through-thickness strain profiles to be measured via neutron diffraction. The results of both methods confirm the presence of large residual strains, and agree reasonably well with FEA simulations of the cladding process.

Published: September 2020

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by brain metabolic networks, specifically associated with motor and cognitive manifestations. Few studies have investigated network changes in cerebral hemispheres ipsilateral and contralateral to the clinically more affected body side. Objective: We examined hemispheric network abnormalities and their relationship to striatal dopaminergic deficits in PD patients at different stages. Methods: 45 PD patients underwent dual-tracer positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-fluorodopa (FDOPA) in a high-resolution PET scanner. In all patients, we computed expression levels for the PD-related motor/cognition metabolic patterns (PDRP/PDCP) as well as putamen/caudate FDOPA uptake values in both hemispheres. Resulting hemispheric measures in the PD group were compared with corresponding healthy control values and assessed across disease stages. Results: Hemispheric PDRP and PDCP expression was significantly elevated contralateral and ipsilateral to the more affected body side in patients with unilateral symptoms (H&Y 1: p < 0.01) and in patients with bilateral limb involvement (H&Y 2-3: p < 0.001; H&Y 4: p < 0.003). Elevations in pattern expression were symmetrical at all disease stages. By contrast, FDOPA uptake in the caudate and putamen was reduced bilaterally (p < 0.002), with lower values on both sides at more advanced disease stages. Hemispheric uptake was asymmetrical in both striatal regions, with lower contralateral values at all disease stages. The magnitude of hemispheric uptake asymmetry was smaller with more advanced disease, reflecting greater change ipsilaterally. Conclusion: Symmetrical network expression in PD represents bilateral functional effects unrelated to nigrostriatal dopaminergic asymmetries.

Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND:

Although rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes destruction of articular cartilage, early treatment significantly improves symptoms and delays progression. It is important to detect subtle damage for an early diagnosis. Recent software programs are comparable with the conventional human scoring method regarding detectability of the radiographic progression of RA. Thus, automatic and accurate selection of relevant images (e.g. hand images) among radiographic images of various body parts is necessary for serial analysis on a large scale.

OBJECTIVE:

In this study we examined whether deep learning can select target images from a large number of stored images retrieved from a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) including miscellaneous body parts of patients.

METHODS:

We selected 1,047 X-ray images including various body parts and divided them into two groups: 841 images for training and 206 images for testing. The training images were augmented and used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) consisting of 4 convolution layers, 2 pooling layers and 2 fully connected layers. After training, we created software to classify the test images and examined the accuracy.

RESULTS:

The image extraction accuracy was 0.952 and 0.979 for unilateral hand and both hands, respectively. In addition, all 206 test images were perfectly classified into unilateral hand, both hands, and the others.

CONCLUSIONS:

Deep learning showed promise to enable efficiently automatic selection of target X-ray images of RA patients.
Changing attitudes to secularization processes within the theory of modernization of religion
Authors: Medvedyeva Yuliya
Published: September 2020

The article considers the key factors in development of the religious situation in the second half of the twentieth century, which caused a radical change in the attitude to the theory of secularization by sociologists of religion. From the beginning, the theory of secularization was a core part of the general theory of modernization and marked the specifics of modernization`s impact on religious life. However, the inability to explain such phenomena as the sharp rise in religiosity in post-socialist countries, as well as the consistently high level of religiosity in the typically modernist United States, led researchers to abandon the classical theory of secularization. Another reason for the change in the attitude to secularization was the presence of a religious component in numerous political conflicts in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The religious factor in the conflicts was so unusual and decisive that under its influence the theory of “clash of civilizations” by S. Huntington was born at the end of the twentieth century. Even though the general theory of modernization has not disappeared and still remains popular among sociologists of religion, there is no clear reference to the theory of secularization. Secularization is considered either a random part of modernization processes at certain stages, or one of the options for the development of the religious situation along with counter-secularization, or even completely rejected as a false positivist construct that has not been validated with the real state of affairs.

Environmental and economic analysis of hybrid greenhouse solar dryer: A Review
Authors: Singh Pushpendra , Gaur M.K.
Published: September 2020

Zero hunger is one of the goals out of 17 sustainable development goal set by United Nations for 2030. As the population is growing at a rapid rate so the demand of food will also increase. Solar dryers are considered as the sustainable solutions for conserving the food for longer duration. The enviro-economic analysis becomes necessary to check the impact of developed dryer on environment and its economic viability. This review article focuses on the environmental and economic analysis of hybrid greenhouse solar dryers. The dryers although operates using the solar energy but still in case of hybrid dryers some other devices are also used which emits CO2 and other non-environmental friendly gases during their use or disposal. The impact of a solar dryer on the environment is very low but still, it is necessary to check the impact. The economy is another factor that is kept in mind while developing the dryers. It is observed that the cost of dryer and its impact on environment increases with the increase in floor area of dryer. The hybrid dryers are usually costly due to use of various additional devices but gives better performance than passive and active dryers. The payback time of hybrid dryers are almost same as active dryers that is about 1-2 years, thus hybrid dryers can be developed commercially to get more profit. The parameters which are considered during environmental and economic analysis are discussed in the paper. The paper presents a way to carry out the environmental and economic analysis of hybrid dryers.
Designing of anti-vibration rubber mounts for an all-terrain vehicle for BAJA SAE
Authors: Mishra Sujeet Kumar , Sreekanta B S V
Published: September 2020

Engine is the powerhouse for a combustion powered automobile. For the propulsion of automobile, engine must be mounted on vehicle safety. The way it is mounted on to vehicle is very important and plays a crucial role in determining the Noise vibration and handling (NVH) characteristics of an automobile. A proper designed mount should block the vibrations from the engine to automobile body and should not allow the effect of road unevenness on to the engine. Vibrations are generally due to power pulses during power stroke, which is reduced by properly designing flywheel, and unbalance of rotating and reciprocating parts, which is reduced to a maximum level possible and rest damped out at the mounts, generally, elastomers like rubber are utilized to damp the vibrations. When comes to All Terrain vehicle, mounts are under heavy loading conditions due to terrain on which vehicle is used. This paper discusses about the designing of such mounts to be used on BAJA SAE buggy.

EDUCAÇÃO PARA O TRABALHO NA PERSPECTIVA DA EDUCAÇÃO HUMANIZADORA E COMO DIREITO EM PAULO FREIRE
Authors: Polli José Renato
Published: September 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma compreensão sobre a educação para o trabalho a partir dos referenciais freireanos que fundamentam a educação humanizadora e como direito social e subjetivo. Trata-se de demonstrar que uma visão progressista sobre a dimensão do trabalho nos processos educativos parte de uma concepção de educação integral, presente nos modelos clássicos de educação, desde os gregos. Discute também o próprio conceito de trabalho como uma das dimensões fundantes da existência humana, pensando algumas experiências práticas de educação crítica e emancipatória inspiradas em Paulo Freire, que levaram em conta a necessidade de uma formação educacional com vistas à formação para o trabalho, sem desconsiderar a formação ampla, clássica, inerente à tradição educacional republicana que sustenta que a educação escolar é um direito social e subjetivo inalienável.

Profit maximization is an important goal of any business entities, lead to big concern about how to improve financial performance so as to run businesses in a stability and sustainability. Furthermore, in measuring financial performance, several profitability indicators are widely in use as return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE)... We did conduct literature reviews and conclude: evaluating the impact of factors on entity financial performance is such an essential topic which has drawn the attention of researchers all over the world and yet Vietnam. However, many studies gave dissimilar results, which indicates there might be differences in nature of the relationship, or factors affiliation in enterprises of different sectors or different countries. This study aims to determine the effect of factors on the financial performance of companies listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) from 2013-2017. The factors include corporate income tax, firms’size, growth of the firm, age of the firm and liquidity. The study used panel data methodology, the FEM model was found to be consistent with data. In this study, variables of return on assets (ROA) used to measure the financial performance of companies. The research revealed that corporate income tax, firms’size and growth of the firm show a significant negative relationship with financial performance. On the other hand, there is a significant positive relationship between liquidity and financial performance. But, the relationship between ROA with the firm age is not significant. Firms’ size and corporate income tax have the greatest influence on financial of companies. The findings of the study will improve the financial performance of companies listed on the HNX.

Neuropsychology and differential diagnosis in cognitive declines and demoralprocesses in the elderly
Authors: Vanzeler Maria Luzinete Alves
Published: September 2020

In order to review the literature on cognitive decline in aging, normal and pathological and the role of neuropsychological evaluation in the differential diagnosis of these declines, a search was conducted in specialized textbooks, neuropsychological evaluation manuals and indexed scientific articles (in capes, lilacs, pubmed, mediline and scielo and academic Google journals), the review was conducted in November and December 2019. The study gathered information about cognitive deficits in normal aging, mild cognitive impairment (CLC) and different types of dementia, such as: Alzheimer's disease (AD); Frontotemporal dementia (FTD); Dementia with Lewy corpuscles (DCL); Vascular dementia (DV); Mixed dementia (AD/dv); dementias associated with other neurodegenerative disorders; infectious dementias and reversible dementias. The importance of neuropsychological evaluation was verified as a diagnostic tool, using resources such as: interviews, behavioral observations, batteries of screenings and specific tests (exclusive use of the psychologist). Neuropsychological evaluation characterizes dementia as a progressive deficit in cognitive function, with impaired memory from the initial phase, which impairs social and occupational activities. In addition, neuropsychological evaluation can identify situations in which there is the possibility of reversal, primary and sequelal conditions and also guide therapy and indicate prognosis.
Meat productivity of young sheep animals of different origin
Authors: Pokhyl V. I. , Mykolajchuk L. P.
Published: September 2020

Meat quality and slaughter indices of sheep depend primarily on breed peculiarities and are connected with age, fatness, sex, feeding and keeping conditions. According to the pre-slaughter mass, slaughter mass and mass of paired carcass, crossbred animals exceed their pure-bred counterparts. Experimental work was сonducted at Terra Rich LLC in the Pologivskyi district of Zaporizhia region. Tupping rams (Rom) and Hisar (H) were used on ewes of the Romanivska breed. Two groups of cowslip were formed: a control from purebred animals of the Romanivska breed (Rm × Rm) and experimental crossbreed with Hisar (Rm × H). Control slaughter of young rams was performed in accordance with the method of estimating the slaughtering performance (meet productivity) of sheep at 8 months of age. The morphological composition of the carcasses was determined by the results of the deboned half-carcass after 24-hour cooling to determine the dressing percentage of pulp, bones and fat. The chemical composition was determined in the average meat sample, in the longest muscle of the back (mus. longissimus dorsi) the amount of intramuscular fat was determined with the subsequent caloricity count of the meat. Crossbreed animals had higher indices of productivity than the pure-bred born in the same year of the Romanivska breed. The pre-slaughter live weight of crossbreed animals was greater by 29.2 %; slaughter weight – by39.7 %. Dressing percentage of the crossbreed animals was 47.4 %, and in pure-breds – 43.8 %. The crossbreed animals had absolute preference of varietal cuts: meat of the first сlass – 94.57 %, of the second – 5.43 %, in purebreds – 91.60 and 8.40 %, respectively. The preference for purebred Romanivska sheep on the caloricity of the muscle tissue was 8.7 %. In carcasses of crossbreed young animals, the relative mass of muscle tissue was 78.8 %, bones – 21.2%, versus 73.3% and 26.7 %, respectively, in purebred counterparts. The pulpiness ratio for crossbreed young rams was 3.7 and for purebred young rams was only 2.7. The positive effect of crossbreeding on the meat productivity of young animals has been established. Crossing the ewes of the Romanivska breed with the tupping rams of the Hisar breed can be successfully used in commercial sheep raisings.
Anaphylactic shock infusion therapy
Authors: Gumeniuk M. I. , Gumeniuk G. L. , Opimakh S. G.
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT. Anaphylactic shock is anaphylaxis with signs of critical organ hypoperfusion that threatens the patient’s life. For anaphylactic shock, the features of both distributive and hypovolemic shock are inherent. Distributive shock leads to the movement of fluid from the capillaries into the surrounding tissue, accompanied by inadequate perfusion of the tissues. The rapid recognition of anaphylaxis, the administration of epinephrine and the replacement of intravascular fluid are key factors in the successful outcome of the treatment of this potentially fatal event. The main principle that should be followed when carrying out infusion therapy of anaphylactic shock is the principle of small volume resuscitation (SVR), based primarily on the redistribution of endogenous fluid without the need for significant volumes of exogenous solutions. Hyperosmolar solutions used for SVR infusion therapy provide fluid return from the intercellular space to the vascular bed. The movement of fluid from the intercellular sector to the intravascular volume leads to an increase in the volume of circulating blood, contributes to the normalization of microcirculation and perfusion of tissues. SVR leads to an anti-shock effect due to a sharp increase in the intravascular volume of blood, and a decrease in edema improves microcirculation and perfusion of tissues and normalizes the water-electrolyte balance. Infusion therapy for anaphylactic shock is carried out by crystalloid solutions till hemodynamic stabilization. The choice of acceptable preparations for infusion varies among simple and balanced saline solutions, preparations based on polyhydric alcohols, taking into account the individual reaction of the patient to volume infusion.
A Performance Model for the HSDPA User Equipment and its Validation
Authors: Tien Do Van , Nam Do H , Chakka Ram
Published: September 2020

A new queuing model is proposed for the performance evaluation of the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) protocol, with respect to a specified user, in UMTS networks. This analytical model is an integrated one capable of capturing many complicated features of HSDPA operation such as correlated and bursty traffic, channel fading, channel allocation policy and packet-losses in the air interface. The validation of the model for comparing the user terminal categories is performed with a detailed simulation of HSDPA terminals with "real" traffic traces. It is shown that the model is quite accurate to predict and compare the throughput of the HSDPA terminal categories.

A CONTAÇÃO DE HISTÓRIAS COMO ESTÍMULO À LEITURA E AO PROTAGONISMO DO ALUNO
Authors: Lima Isabela Ferreira
Published: September 2020

Contar e ouvir histórias são atividades muito mais corriqueiras do que se pode pensar, além de serem extremamente importantes para o desenvolvimento dos alunos enquanto leitores. Com o objetivo de demonstrar esses fatos, serão relatadas as experiências vivenciadas ao longo da Ágora de Contadores de Histórias e o impacto para a leitura e para a apresentação oral dos alunos. As atividades foram desenvolvidas no Colégio de Aplicação João XXIII, da cidade de Juiz de Fora, com turmas mistas do primeiro ao terceiro ano do Ensino Médio. Grande parte das atividades aconteceram na Sala de Leitura do referido colégio. As aulas foram divididas em três momentos distintos e sempre seguiam a mesma lógica: num primeiro momento, a professora contava uma história; em seguida, era feita uma discussão com os alunos, explicando o motivo da escolha daquele texto em particular e apresentando elementos importantes para uma contação de histórias, como entonação, ritmo, rima, postura corporal etc; por fim, os estudantes eram convidados a realizar pequenas atividades práticas. A última aula da semana era destinada às apresentações individuais ou coletivas dos participantes da ágora, que, de maneira geral, foram bastante satisfatórias e comoventes. Nesse processo, foram desenvolvidas habilidades de escuta e de acolhimento da história do outro, tanto por parte dos alunos quanto da própria professora. Nas apresentações observa-se que a diversidade de temas e valores universais veiculados nos enredos das histórias pode contribuir para a reflexão dos discentes sobre as relações interpessoais presentes na sociedade, transformando-os em cidadãos mais conscientes de seus papéis sociais.
ПАМ’ЯТЬ І ДОКУМЕНТИ ПРО РЯТУВАННЯ ЄВРЕЇВ УКРАЇНИ В ПЕРІОД ГОЛОКОСТУ: МІЖ МІФАМИ ТА ФАКТАМИ
Authors: Shchupak Igor
Published: September 2020

Стаття присвячена одному з малодосліджених і міфологізованих аспектів історії Голокосту – проблемі рятування євреїв у часи Другої світової війни. Незважаючи на широкий масив джерельної бази, яка, по суті, і продукує низку хибних узагальнень щодо історій порятунку євреїв від знищення нацистами, оскільки ґрунтується на спогадах тих, хто пережив Голокост, історики стикаються із складністю інтерпретації і достовірності цих матеріалів. Специфіка використання наративів вимагає особливо ретельного наукового аналізу та зіставлення отриманих даних з іншими джерелами інформації.

Фактично дослідники звернулися до теми порятунку євреїв України в період Голокосту лише в пострадянський період. Нетривалість людської пам’яті є причиною великих розбіжностей між інформацією, яку можна було б отримати одразу по завершенню подій Другої світової війни і через двадцять, п’ятдесят, а тим більше сімдесят років. Проте спогади очевидців, рятівників і порятованих, інтерв’ю у вигляді відео- чи аудіозаписів у пропонованій статті доповнені низкою документальних джерел, що зберігаються в різних архівних установах України.

У статті проаналізовано деякі з існуючих міфів щодо порятунку євреїв неєврейським населенням України в часі Голокосту, зокрема міф про антисемітські настрої українців, про безкорисливість рятівників тощо. Для спростування міфу про антисемітські настрої українців, передусім у Західній Україні, розглянуто регіональний аспект рятування, з’ясовано розподіл українських Праведників народів світу за областями і регіонами країни. Оперуючи кількісними даними, доведено особливий статус Вінницької області, яку виділено в окремий регіон. Варто зазначити, що для порівняння взято лише тих рятівників, яких офіційно визнано Яд Вашем, тобто присвоєно звання «Праведник народів світу», але у статті наведено історії й інших рятувань, зазвичай невдалих, оскільки саме матеріали судових справ німецьких окупантів проти місцевих мешканців збереглися в архівах.

Розглядаючи приклади рятування євреїв на окупованій території України, доходимо до висновків щодо основних мотивів людей, які ризикували не лише своїм власним життям, а (що траплялося частіше) життям своїх рідних. Наведено приклади рятування євреїв членами подружніх національно змішаних пар, їхніми рідними, а також людьми, які мали романтичні почуття чи дружні стосунки. Природними виглядають історії порятунку єврейського населення представниками релігійних громад.

Ключові слова: Голокост, Праведники народів світу, рятування, врятовані, рятівники євреїв, очевидці подій, міф, усна історія.

Published: September 2020

The objective of this study is to epidemiologically describe large and small ruminant Brucellosis in Turkey by conducting a register-based study. For this purpose, the data concerning Brucellosis which is a notifiable disease in Turkey, were obtained from anonymous disease reports of the World Organization for Animal Health. In cattle, 7,889 outbreaks of Brucellosis were registered in all 81 provinces of Turkey between 2005 and 2015 were 15,059 animals contracted the disease. In sheep and goats, 2,277 outbreaks of Brucellosis occurred in the same time period, where 21,241 animals also got sick. There was a decreasing trend in Brucellosis both in humans and in ruminants due to combating the disease. The disease in cattle was mostly seen in winter and the highest prevalence was in the East Anatolian Region. Furthermore, Brucellosis in small ruminants was mostly seen in the Central Anatolian region during the winter months. Both species (large and small ruminants) have the lowest rate of outbreaks in the summer months.
Civic values in the context of public administration
Authors: Kiyanka Iryna , Ilnytskyi Serhii
Published: September 2020

The article analyzes the issues of civic values in the context of public administration. Civic values are an important foundation that gives a positive impetus to management and is one of the elements of public administration and their role in building Ukrainian statehood. The main civic values are solidarity, dignity, tolerance, and social trust.

The article focuses on the introduction of values as an element of public governance in democratic countries, the unification of human potential and its entry into the main orbit of political life of the state to realize the interests of social groups and stakeholders.

Thus, the formation of civic values in the context of public administration will be the formation as a result of a constant dialogue between government and citizens, without a doubt, it is a complex process. However, its constant initiation by the two sides will stimulate the gradual formation of public opinion on the basic mechanisms, forms and methods of achieving political culture, trust, social solidarity and integration into society.

It is concluded that civic values as an element of public administration acquire particularly stable trends that regulate public administration policy in most countries.

The Revolution of Dignity provided a new opportunity for the development of new values in the history of civil society in Ukraine, demonstrated the influence of the public on socio-political processes, and became an impetus for the renewal and reformatting of power. Such socio-political processes require the creation of full-fledged, not declarative public institutions, able to obtain information in the initial stages of public administration decisions, to offer alternative ways to solve problems, to monitor the implementation of decisions.

An important emphasis on the path of transformation is the readiness of citizens for self-organization, for the manifestation of civic activity at the local level. A significant challenge of post-Sovietism is paternalism – the belief of citizens in the omnipotence of the state; confidence that the state should solve all their problems. As a result, such civic passivity allows the authorities to play on the voter’s paternalistic tendencies (politicians find it easier to «bribe» citizens with their promises).

One of the elements of public administration in the context of globalization processes in countries with democratic principles is the value, or system of values, the introduction of which accelerated the interaction between government and society and deepened the process of satisfying all stakeholders, created new challenges to social development. The introduction of values as an element of public administration in democracies has resulted in the pooling of human potential and its entry into the main orbit of the political life of the state to realize the relevant interests of stakeholders.
