Usability of Some Landscape Plants in Biomonitoring Technique: an Anaysis With Special Regard to Heavy Metals
Authors: IŞINKARALAR Kaan , IŞINKARALAR Öznur , ŞEVİK Hakan
Published: May 2022

As a result of the widespread industrial activities in today's cities and the increase in the urban population and building density, the pollution values in the urban geography are increasing. The accumulation of environmental pollutants is one of the most important problems to be considered in the construction of cities. Heavy metal pollution from various activities in urban areas is one of the riskiest environmental problems. Heavy metals are concentrated due to human activities and it is necessary to monitor and determine their accumulation levels. Detection and reduction studies of heavy metal levels in regions and areas with population density are of critical importance, as accumulation above a certain dose can cause vital problems. Studies on the accumulation of heavy metals are affected by parameters of quite different sizes, and determination of the level and identification of the source is quite complex. However, due to the high accumulation of pollutants in some landscape areas due to the effect of their type, it reveals the course of pollutants in these regions. This study aimed to determine the concentrations of Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe) in leaves, bark and wood in various landscape species by biomonitoring heavy metals. By comparing the Cu and Fe concentrations, the heavy metal holding capacities of the species used varied significantly in plant species and in different organs of the same plant. As a result of the study, it has been determined that Schinus molle L. can be preferred in urban areas and can be used as a biomonitor in Cu and Fe accumulation.

The article considers foreign experience in the investigation of financial crimes on the example of such countries as the United States, Poland, Spain, Canada, France. The influence of financial crimes on the functioning and development of the state has been studied, and the peculiarities of counteracting and combating money laundering in these countries have been determined. The activity of the State Financial Monitoring Service on detection and processing of information of risky financial transactions and its cooperation with foreign divisions of financial investigations is described. The most popular countries in which there are entities with a suspicious reputation for financial transactions are identified. It is also determined that the legalization of criminal proceeds is a financial crime that encroaches on the established procedure for conducting financial transactions, and hence on the national interests of the state.

Oxygen in seawater comes from the air through diffusion and photosynthesis. This study aims to determine the dissolved oxygen content, NAEC (Normal Atmospheric Equilibrium Concentration), and AOU (Apparent Oxygen Utilization) in East Bolaang Mongondow waters. The analysis showed that the dissolved oxygen content in the surface layer ranged from 6.01-7.05 mg/l; 5.91-6.98 mg/l (5 m depth); and 5.75-6.90 mg/l (near bottom depth). NAEC is closely related to water temperature and implicitly increases with depth. The highest NAEC value of 5.90 mg/l (t=28.0ºC) was found at the bottom depth, and the lowest NAEC of 5.63 mg/l (t=30.0ºC) was found at the surface layer. The dissolved oxygen saturation level of more than 100% and the average positive AOU value at 0.59-0.81 mg/l describe the amount of oxygen available in the surface layer.Keywords: Dissolved Oxygen; Normal Atmospheric Equilibrium Concentration (NAEC); Apparent Oxygen Utilization (AOU); East Bolaang Mongondow.AbstrakOksigen dalam air laut bersumber dari udara melalui proses difusi dan hasil fotosintesis.

Elucidation of electrical properties of undoped and Sb-induced Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films and degradation properties on CTS thin films and solar cells by intentional proton irradiation
Authors: Urata Nanami , Kanai Ayaka , Sugiyama Mutsumi
Published: May 2022

The fundamental electrical properties of undoped and Sb-induced Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films were evaluated. Furthermore, the relationship between defect properties during intentional degradation and thin film/solar cell properties was investigated. The carrier concentration decreased after Sb induction in the CTS film, and the resistivity increased by one order of magnitude. These values were independent of the Sb volume. These results imply that a small quantity of Sb atoms passivates the defects, such as Sb atoms at Sn or Cu sites that compensate for the intrinsic acceptors at Cu vacancies. In addition, the number of defects around the grain boundary tended to decrease with Sb induction because of passivation. The carrier concentration of the CTS layer remained unchanged following proton irradiation at 1 × 1014 cm−2. Furthermore, the number of defects increased, independent of the Sb induction.

Authors: Wu Zinan , Zhang Yang , He Mengyang , Ren Bokang , Yue Huimin , Ou Zhonghua , Zhou Xiaojun , Liu Yong
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we focus on the phase noise in optically-pumped magnetometer systems and investigate its sources, and use dual-phase lock-in technique to solve the problem. The results show that the phase noise is maximum when the system operates under zero-magnetic-field condition, and the main source comes from the environment stray magnetic field. The dual-phase lock-in technique improves the phase noise rejection by a factor of 10 compared to the single-phase lock-in technique. The sensitivity of the system is 22 fT Hz−1/2 and the bandwidth is 158 Hz, which offers a favorable outlook for use in clinical settings.
Systematic variation of photoluminescence spectra with donor and acceptor concentrations ranging from 1 × 1010 to 1 × 1020 cm−3 in Si
Authors: Tajima Michio , Toyota Hiroyuki , Ogura Atsushi
Published: May 2022

We review photoluminescence processes due to donor and acceptor impurities with concentrations ranging from 1 × 1010 to 1 × 1020 cm−3 in both uncompensated and compensated Si at 4.2 K for application to the impurity characterization. Systematic evolution and extinction were observed in the impurity bound exciton and impurity cluster bound exciton emission, donor-acceptor pair emission with and without discrete sharp lines, donor-band—to—acceptor-band emission, and the emission involving the intrinsic degenerate band. These variations occur as results of the transition from isolated impurity levels to interacting impurity levels due to impurity pairing or clustering in the concentration range around 1 × 1016 cm−3, the formation of the impurity bands in the range mid 1017 cm−3, and their unification with the intrinsic bands at critical Mott concentration of 3 × 1018 cm−3. Multiple radiative processes coexist in the transition regions and their intensities are determined by the impurity concentrations and the radiative probability of respective processes.
Monitoraggio fiscale e trusts: presupposti applicativi, estensione soggettiva e titolarità effettiva alla luce dell’art. 4 del D.L. 28 giugno 1990, n. 167
Authors: Stuppia Vincenzo , Corsetti Claudio
Published: May 2022

Tesi
Il concetto di detenzione dell’attività o dell’investimento estero, che costituisce il presupposto per l’applicazione dell’intera disciplina del monitoraggio, si sostanzia in una relazione di fatto, effettiva ed attuale, tra detentore ed investimento estero, che deve sussistere sia nel caso di possesso diretto che nei casi, individuati dal secondo periodo dell’art. 4, comma 1, di possesso indiretto o mediato.
La nozione di titolarità effettiva, che assieme alla detenzione mediante possesso indiretto costituisce l’altro requisito richiesto dal secondo periodo dell’art. 4 comma 1, ha quale attributo caratteristico il potere di dirigere verso se stessi il vantaggio conseguibile attraverso l’investimento o l’attività finanziaria estera.
«Beneficiari individuati o facilmente individuabili»: non è sufficiente la mera menzione all’interno dell’atto istitutivo del trust, ma ne vanno rintracciati nel caso concreto i poteri nei confronti dell’attribuzione, che devono essere assimilabili ad una detenzione mediante possesso indiretto, tale da integrare altresì gli estremi della titolarità effettiva.
Necessità di interpretare sistematicamente i due periodi del comma 1 dell’art. 4 - riferendo il requisito della detenzione anche ai casi evidenziati dal secondo periodo - e diversità della estensione soggettiva degli obblighi di monitoraggio rispetto alla disciplina antiriciclaggio, stante la distanza negli obiettivi e nelle finalità che intercorre tra le due normative.
The author’s view
The notion of detention of the foreign asset or investment, which is the premise for the application of the entire tax monitoring discipline, consists in a concrete, actual and effective relationship between the holder and the foreign investment. That relationship must exist both in the case of direct ownership and in the cases, identified by the second sentence of Article 4, paragraph 1, of indirect or mediated ownership.
The concept of beneficial ownership, which, together with indirect ownership, constitutes the other requirement set forth by the second period of Article 4, paragraph 1, has a distinctive attribute the power to direct to oneself the advantage that can be obtained through foreign investment or financial activity.
«Identified or easily identifiable beneficiaries»: the mere mention in the trust deed is not sufficient, but the powers in respect of the attribution must be traced in the specific case, which must be embodied to a holding through indirect possession, such as to also integrate the requirements of actual ownership.
The need for a systematic interpretation of the two periods of paragraph 1 of Article 4 - i.e. referring the requirement of possession also to the cases highlighted by the second period - and the diversity of the subjective extension of the monitoring duties in comparison with the AML discipline, given the distance in goals and purposes between the two regulations.
Il giudice inglese indica il foro ucraino come foro appropriato per giudicare sulla specifica controversia (Pjsc Bank v Kostyantin Valentynovich Zhevago, 21 settembre 2021)

Il giudice inglese denega la propria giurisdizione in favore del giudice ucraino in una causa in cui sono convenuti un cittadino ucraino, un cittadino britannico e tre società di diritto inglese riconducibili al cittadino ucraino, in quanto sulla base della dottrina del forum non conveniens la causa presenta più stretti collegamenti con l’Ucraina (la legge sostanziale applicabile è quella ucraina e in Ucraina è necessario condurre una articolata istruttoria e pendono procedimenti connessi).
Sull’inesistenza di un trust ai fini delle imposte sui redditi (CTP Campania Napoli, 22 settembre 2021, n. 10156)
Authors: Aicardi Matteo
Published: May 2022

Massima
È interposto il trust qualora risulti anomala la ragione della sua istituzione (il disponente dichiarava di istituirlo per ragioni di riconoscenza nei confronti del figlio, ma il primo conferiva nel fondo in trust una somma di denaro relativamente esigua e dichiarava redditi di gran lunga inferiori al quelli del secondo) e dalle clausole del suo atto istitutivo si evinca il controllo assoluto del beneficiario (il quale aveva il potere di nominare e revocare il guardiano e, con il consenso di costui, porre termine al trust decorsi cinque anni dalla sua istituzione, nonché il potere di veto sulla nomina del trustee).
I dividendi distribuiti dalla S.p.A. le cui azioni sono incluse nel fondo di siffatto trust possono essere ascritti direttamente al beneficiario, pure considerato che il trustee ha pagato il prezzo delle azioni solo dopo la distribuzione dei dividendi (l’acquisto delle azioni era stato stipulato una settimana prima della distribuzione) e che questo prezzo non è in linea coi prezzi di mercato, essendo pari alla somma dell’importo dei dividendi e del valore nominale delle azioni.

Una causa non può essere oggetto di due procedimenti giudiziari paralleli se il procedimento instaurato all’estero risulti vessatorio o oppressivo per la parte ivi convenuta, ovvero se appaia chiaro, dagli elementi della controversia, che il foro naturale sia quello inglese e che, inoltre, non sia ravvisabile alcun vantaggio giuridico o personale, per la parte attorea, nel portare avanti il processo instaurato all’estero.
Sul vincolo di destinazione ex art. 2645-ter cod. civ., il trust e le ragioni creditorie (Trib. Frosinone, 12 gennaio 2022, n. 37)
Authors: Vescovi Alex
Published: May 2022

Massima
Il vincolo di destinazione ex art. 2645-ter costituito da persona fisica (la quale, anteriormente alla costituzione del vincolo, ha rilasciato cambiale per prestiti ricevuti) per una durata ventennale su un complesso immobiliare in favore del proprio figlio minorenne non è simulato in quanto risulta effettivamente voluto dal costituente, né è stato provato un accordo di segno contrario. Lo stesso vincolo è revocabile ex art. 2901 cod. civ.: l’eventus damni sussiste per non avere il costituente dimostrato di essere rimasto titolare di altri beni immobili idonei a costituire una garanzia generica a favore del creditore agente in revocatoria, mentre la scientia damni, requisito soggettivo richiesto in considerazione della natura gratuita del vincolo, sussiste in re ipsa.
La responsabilità tributaria solidale del Notaio
Authors: Pischetola Adriano
Published: May 2022

Tesi
La Suprema Corte di cassazione nelle due sentenze n. 36599 e n. 36598 del 2021 consente di affrontare la questione dei limiti posti alla responsabilità tributaria solidale del notaio, con riferimento alla netta distinzione che intercorre ai sensi dell’art. 42 del TUR tra l’imposta principale, da un lato, e le imposte complementare e suppletiva dall’altro, sia pure a fronte della vigente procedura di registrazione telematica degli atti. Gli arresti giurisprudenziali appaiono di particolare rilevanza, peraltro, proprio con riferimento alle fattispecie da cui sono state originate (due atti istitutivi di altrettanti trust autodichiarati), in quanto inducono ad elaborare parallelamente riflessioni circa la corretta applicazione delle imposte indirette in un particolare ambito operativo e negoziale, interessato, come è noto, da un graduale processo evolutivo intrapreso dalla medesima giurisprudenza di legittimità e, sia pure solo di recente, dall’Amministrazione finanziaria.
The author’s view
The Supreme Court of cassation in the two judgments n. 36599 and n. 36598 of 2021 allows to face the question of the limits placed on the joint tax liability of the notary, with reference to the clear distinction that exists pursuant to art. 42 of Presidential Decree no. 131/86 between the main tax, on the one hand, and the complementary and supplementary taxes on the other, albeit in the face of the current procedure for electronic registration of documents. The jurisprudential arrests appear to be of particular relevance, however, precisely with reference to the cases from which they originated (two deeds of incorporation of as many self-declared trust), as they induce to elaborate at the same time reflections on the correct application of indirect taxes in a particular operational context and negotiation, affected, as is known, by a gradual evolutionary process undertaken by the same Jurisprudence of legitimacy and, albeit only recently, by the financial Administration.
Giudici a confronto: come il giudice italiano individuerebbe il ‘beneficial owner’ in una situazione analoga a quella della causa NRC Holding (NRC Holding v Danilitskiy, 2017)
Authors: Baraldi Mario , Hepaj Ermelinda
Published: May 2022

Tesi
Nel caso NRC Holding v Danilitskiy, i fatti in causa si riferiscono ad un caso particolare di trasferimento immobiliare operante in Inghilterra: l’acquisto di un bene compiuto con denaro fornito da un terzo che non compare nell’atto di compravendita. In questi casi, secondo la Corte inglese, la parte che fornisce il denaro è titolare del beneficial interest, mentre l’altra è mero titolare formale del bene; detto altrimenti, la presunta intenzione delle parti può dar luogo ad un caso di resulting trust. La Corte, infatti, ricorrendo ad una attentata ricostruzione dei fatti, prendendo le mosse dalla volontà del convenuto contumace e seguendo l’iter delle azioni da questi poste in essere, individua un caso di resulting trust a favore del convenuto stesso.
In un caso come quello esaminato dalla High Court of Justice di Londra, un giudice italiano potrebbe configurare l’esistenza di un negozio fiduciario o di un contratto di prestanome tra il debitore e la società acquirente, individuando nel debitore il beneficial owner. L’attrice, conseguentemente, potrebbe ricorrere all’azione revocatoria o potrebbe agire in via surrogatoria chiedendo che, in esecuzione del negozio sottostante, venga disposto il trasferimento dell’immobile al debitore così che il creditore possa poi soddisfarsi sul bene.
The author’s view
In NRC Holding v Danilitskiy’s case, the facts relate to a particular event of real estate transfer operative in England: the purchase of a property made with money provided by a third party who does not appear in the deed of sale. In such cases, according to the English Court, the party providing the money has the beneficial interest, while the other party is merely the formal owner of the property; in other words, the presumed intention of the parties may give rise to a case of resulting trust. The Court, in fact, applying a careful reconstruction of the facts, starting from the will of the defendant in absentia and following the course of his actions, identifies a case of resulting trust in favour of the same defendant.
In a case such as the one examined by the High Court of Justice in London, an Italian judge could consider that a fiduciary or a nominee agreement exists between the debtor and the acquiring company, identifying the debtor as the beneficial owner. The plaintiff, consequently, could bring a clawback action or could act in subrogation by requesting, by way of execution of the underlying agreement, the transfer of the real estate to the debtor, so that the creditor can then satisfy himself on this asset.

Long-term Evaluation of the State-of-Health of Traction Lithium-ion Batteries in Operational Buses
Authors: Simão Miguel , Prytz Rune , Nowaczyk Sławomir
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we present and evaluate a novel methodology to estimate the usable capacity and state-of-health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries in battery-electric buses (BEV). This methodology is designed to be applicable to any BEV in normal operation, independently of battery chemistry, and without requiring complex electrochemical models or large data sets. We have tested the proposed methodology on two vehicle fleets with a total of 105 vehicles, for which we have been acquiring data for up to three years. Additionally, we have analysed the operation of the fleets in terms of daily distance driven and the charging strategies chosen by the operators.The monitored vehicles are part of fleets currently in normal operation in Europe. The data collection is done with a third-party data logger that is connected to the vehicles’ Communication Area Network (CAN) buses, and no additional changes were made to the vehicle’s hardware or software. The results show that the proposed methodology shows significantly lower variance in SOH estimation than the alternative methodologies. It also shows similar accuracy in the long-term and smaller short-term deviations from the typical capacity fade model.

Целью исследования являлась оценка влияния качества орехов и арахиса и повышенной температуры хранения на сохранность глазированных конфет с корпусами из конфетных масс пралине и типа пралине. Нестабильность качества поступающего сырья обуславливает необходимость контроля показателей качества и установление дополнительных требований к показателям микробиологической и окислительной порчи с целью гарантирования заданного срока годности. Перекисное число жировой фракции используемых в качестве орехового сырья миндаля и арахиса находилось в диапазоне от 0,2 до 9,0 ммоль акт. кисл./кг, кислотное число - в диапазоне от 0,6 до 4,0 мг КОН/г. Показано, что повышение температуры хранения конфет с корпусами на основе орехов и арахиса от 18 °С до 27 °С приводит к повышению скорости микробиологических процессов в 1,2 – 1,5 раза. Показано, что при соотношении количества КМАФАнМ в глазури до 1,0×102 - 2,0×102 КОЕ/г и плесеней до 1,0×102 КОЕ/г риск липолитических изменений является минимальным в течение длительного периода хранения конфет. Для обеспечения безопасных уровней микробиологических показателей и уменьшения риска липолитической порчи конфет при хранении предложено установить дополнительные требования к содержанию плесеней в массах пралине и типа пралине, а также в глазури - не более 50 КОЕ/г. Полученные закономерности позволяют прогнозировать изменения качества глазированных конфет и могут быть использованы для обоснования дополнительных требований к показателям качества используемого сырья с целью уменьшения скорости окислительных и микробиологических процессов и увеличения срока годности.

The child is the foundation for the consolidation of a couple's home in the world. Thus, the absence of the fruit of the union (child) in the couple is subject to criticism and is a source of problems between the spouses. The first cause cited is female infertility. This study aims at solving the problems of female infertility through the knowledge and valorization of plants used for its treatment. The methodology used consisted of an ethnobotanical survey based on a pre-established questionnaire and complemented by individual semi-structured interviews with the target group. A total of 96 people were interviewed. Correspondence Factorial Analysis (CFA) using R software was used to establish the relationships between ethnic groups and their knowledge of female infertility. The calculation of ethnobotanical indices allowed the diversity and importance of plants to be assessed. The study population has specific knowledge about the symptoms of the causes of a woman's infertility. A diversity of 61 plant species belonging to 35 botanical families was identified. The most represented families are: Anonnaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Leguminoseae-Mimosoideae and Rubiaceae. Also, the plants: Xylopia aethiopica, Monodora myristica, Syzygium aromaticum, Allium cepa and Hybanthus enneaspermus are frequently used in recipes for the treatment of female infertility symptoms. This work constitutes a database for other studies on pharmacology, toxicology of useful plants and their valorisation.
Testing Data Feminism in India
Authors: Kashyap Shubhankar , Singh Avantika
Published: May 2022

Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren F.Klein in their book Data Feminism argue that data models reflect existing power structures and social hierarchies. We aim to test this hypothesis in India on Instagram. Instagram is one of the most accessible and politically engaging social media platforms in India which makes its data models appropriate subjects for our study. The research question of our study is “Do Instagram data models disproportionately prioritise accounts that publish majoritarian feminist content over intersectional feminist content in India?” The paper employs two methodological approaches; an experimental set-up under controlled setting for primary data collection through a positivist sociological approach kept under time bound observational study and secondary data qualitative analysis. This paper first analyses the biases and preconceived notions which cloud digital data models. It further elaborates upon the concept of Data Justice which acknowledges historical inequalities and power differentials amongst communities that drive data collection. The paper attempts to test this hypothesis through an experiment. The experiment includes creation of two Instagram accounts dedicated to two different forms of feminism. Account “A” would publish content ascribing to popular feminist ideals i.e. non-intersectional and Account “B” would publish intersectional feminist content. The creation of new accounts is critical for establishing a causal relationship between data models and disparity in accounts growth, as a pre-established follower count would affect the accounts engagement. For a period of three months, both the accounts will employ the same strategies to increase user engagement/reach. The impact of these strategies on metrics such as follower count, post likes, post reshares, post comments, profile visits, frequency and duration of story views, and duration of post visibility would be documented through a weekly monitoring system. The data collected......

The oral evidence was gathered through conducting interviews, observation and focus groups discussions with respondents drawn from Kandara constituency, the m.p herself and her colleagues in parliament. The respondents were selected through purposive sampling and snowballing. The secondary data was collected from Mount Kenya University Library and the Postmodern Library of Kenyatta University. These were supplemented with archival research at Kenya National Archives. The internet was also used to get more information. Descriptive survey design was used.
Demand for Poultry Products and Consumer Preferences in the South Togo
Authors: Yovo Koffi , LAGNO Kodjo.
Published: May 2022

This study analyzes the determinants of consumer demand for poultry products, with an emphasis on the diversity of poultry products marketed in the south Togo. To achieve these objectives, the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model was used and data were collected from 317 consumers in south Togo. The results highlight the fact that economic and socio-demographic factors significantly influence the budget share allocated to the consumption of poultry products. For the most poultry products, the demand is inelastic varying between -0.391 and -0.932. The income elasticity of demand shows that the table eggs (0.68) and the local poultry meat (0.92) are essentials goods while the broilers meat (1, 34) and the imported frozen carcasses (1, 55) appear as luxury goods. Moreover, the local poultry meat and the imported frozen products appear as substitute goods.
Analysis and Prediction of Housing Prices in Shenyang City Based on Elman Neural Network
Authors: Zhirui Zhao
Published: May 2022

In recent years, housing prices across the country have been on a slow upward trend, and the real estate market is crisscrossed, and Shenyang is no exception. This paper chooses the Elman neural network that can process dynamic time series information to predict the trend of average housing prices in Shenyang. The article selects the average house price of Shenyang for 72 months from September 2015 to August 2021 in Shenyang, using 7 months as a set of training samples, the first 6 months as input data, and the seventh month as output data .There are 66 groups in total, the first 58 groups are used as training sets, and the last 8 groups are used as test sets. At the same time, the BP neural network and the RBF neural network are used for the same prediction, and the prediction results of the three are compared and analyzed. It was found that both the Elman neural network and the BP neural network are better than the RBF neural network in predicting performance. In terms of error details, since the Elman neural network can better process time series data, compared to the BP neural network, the predicted value of the Elman neural network is closer to the true value, and the predictability is better.

Starter cultures having probiotic potential have been used in various food fermentation industries. More than 35 cultures isolated from various dairy and non-dairy sources were subjected to basic LAB properties and, subsequently, starter culture properties like acidification, milk clotting, flavour production, and proteolytic activity Five promising isolates identified by 16s rRNA sequencing are Streptococcus thermophilus (CUD2 &CUD3), Lactobacillus plantarum(FCW2&FCW4) and Lactobacillus fermentum (FC1). These cultures also displayed probiotic properties such as good tolerance to 0.8% bile salt, 6% NaCl, and viability at pH 3.5, antimicrobial activity (tested against E.coli, M.smegmatis, S.typhi, S.aureus, andP.aeruginosa).All cultures showed notable probiotic properties; CUD2 and CUD3 displayed milk clotting within 6 hours,L.plantarum FCW4 and L.fermentum FC1 showed good inhibition against all the indicator strains. The compatibility tests indicated that the cultures don't have any antagonistic activity among them and can be effectively used for suitable consortium development for applications in fermented foods.

With the development of new knowledge began to penetrate into all spheres of society. All this contributed to the solution of many tasks, the use of various techniques in practice and the exchange of a large flow of information. Against the background of the formation of contradictions (the lack of the possibility for one person to know a huge amount of knowledge, while humanity initiates the replenishment of this knowledge at a tremendous speed), there is a need to coordinate the orientation of new knowledge in order to accelerate their implementation in the form of projects, which contributes to increasing the effectiveness of interaction between science and practice. Implementation of innovative developments, mobilization of capital investments, creation of a regulatory mechanism and conditions for the development of innovative activities are the main tasks of the state in innovative development. The impact of the state on the innovation process is carried out through support at all levels of government through the implementation of innovative programs, training of human resources for innovation.
