Russia’s Economic Policy in the field of Geopolitics and geo-economics: problems and prospects of the XXI century
Authors: Zuhrabov Islam
Published: June 2024

In the XXI century, there are significant changes in the dynamics of the development of society in all spheres of its life. With the advent of new technologies, new global trends, principles and standards are gaining popularity. New international regulations and agreements are being developed, which are actively adopted and integrated into the national policies and economies of the countries of the world. Despite the socially accepted good goals and missions taken into account in these processes, they have implicit consequences, in particular for the political and economic situation of our country, in particular. In carrying out this policy, geographical, geopolitical, geo-economic and climatic features of the territory of the state are unreasonably overlooked. At a meeting with volunteers and finalists of the Volunteer of Russia 2020 competition, the Head of the Russian Federation stressed: «Everything that happens in the north is of special interest and special value to us. I’m not even talking about the development of the Northern Sea Route right now. In general, this is our future, including in terms of mining in the future. Lomonosov once said that Russia would grow into Siberia. In the next decades, Russia will grow in the Arctic and the northern territories. These are quite obvious things.» In the presented article, the author examines the prerequisites for the approval of the Russian Federation as a relatively unique and inimitable state, analyzes the impact, adequacy and materiality of the international standards being developed in the context of the internal situation, and develops possible necessary changes in the development of the socio-economic life of the population and the activities of organizations.

Calculation of wholesale and retail prices
Authors: Rossinskiy Viktor
Published: June 2024

As a result of the equalization of the profitability of capitals (which is associated with the formation of a surplus of commodities and production), with the constancy of the volume of circulating money (which maintains the constancy of the price level), as a result of the selective inclusion of consumption requests in the market, in a certain interval of the ratio of satisfied demand to total supply, there is observed, due to a number of reasons that prevent the reduction of prices, the stabilization of the prices of final commodities in relation to their value, their maintenance in equilibrium even with some redistribution of satisfied demand between goods.
Continuing the logic of marginalism, we must conclude that the partial marginal utilities of less rare commodities, through the limitation of their consumption, are necessarily equated with the marginal utility of the rarer commodity, which has unaccounted consequences.
The «laws of supply and demand» (where price is not defined as a concept [1, p.24]) are incompatible with the theory of marginal utility, which means that price is a function of the amount of consumption, but not vice versa. The law of demand, in essence, asserts the tendency of the partial rarity of a commodity, due to the growth of purchases, to its market rarity without observing marginal ratios. The assertion that when the price rises, it is advantageous to increase production, is inconsistent with the marginal position that the price rises with an increase in the scarcity of the commodity, which corresponds to a decrease in the amount of utilities that go into income. The dependence of demand on price is consistent with the labor theory of value.

Authors: Razgovorov Pavel , Levandovsky Vladislav
Published: June 2024

The authors have developed a composite construction paint based on a binder - sodium liquid glass treated with urea. The authors found a possibility to replace traditional mineral components of the solid phase by hematite (Yaroslavl region, Russia), including iron oxides. The tests conducted showed high resistance of the construction paint to static water exposure at (20±2)°C, mechanical abrasion and sufficient adhesion to glass substrate and plastered surface. This shows the prospects of hematite usage and reduction of paint production cost.

Published: June 2024

The paper describes the production of modifying additive on the basis of waste - deferrization sludge of waste groundwater of Nekrasovskoye settlement, Yaroslavl region. The authors found that the predominant components of this waste are trivalent and divalent colloidal iron in the ratio of 3:1. The authors propose to use this waste as a modifier of asphalt concrete mixture to increase the adhesion of bitumen to mineral components based on the study of its physical and chemical properties. The authors have conducted studies of mixes of various grades and selected optimal conditions for the use of deferrization sludge in the technological process of asphalt concrete production. The use of modifying additive allows to increase shear stability and water holding capacity of asphalt concrete.
Water facilities in the architectural and socio-cultural space of the city (on the example of medieval Derbent)
Authors: Kyurebekova Madina
Published: June 2024

Derbent is the southernmost and the most ancient city of Russia. Extensive archaeological studies confirm the 5,000-year history of the city, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003. Being an ‘open-air museum’, it has many architectural objects that have not yet been fully explored. The article analyses historical and cultural sources. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the objects related to water resources of medieval Derbent and to identify their significance in relation to the organisation of architectural and socio cultural space. The author pays much attention to the description of urban water bodies that have survived to the present day. The water facilities examined show that the architectural style and materials used for construction created a unified environment and were part of the organisational planning of the city's development.
Destructive phenomena at poor-quality heating of monolithic reinforced concrete structures
Authors: Isachenko Sergey
Published: June 2024

The growth of the number of the building floors inevitably leads to an increase in the construction period and, consequently, to the need for monolithic reinforced concrete structures in winter. Electric heating by means of cables is the most widespread method of concrete curing in winter conditions in the Central region of Russia. The risk of defects in monolithic reinforced concrete structures increases under certain conditions. This risk is related to various types of technological process faults. The main types of monolithic structures defects have been repeatedly described. But there are practically no papers describing the types and causes of defects associated with failures during electric heating of concrete. The author has developed a block diagram of the main defects, and the main reasons for their occurrence have been identified. The paper summarizes the experience gained during two winter periods at the construction sites of Moscow city belonging to unique buildings and structures. Operational and quality inspection of the construction was performed. The author identified groups of defect causes: cable installation and installation errors; heating regime errors. The author identified specific types of defects for each group, and also gave recommendations on their avoidance in the future. The paper provides a ‘check list’ of parameters that must be checked during electric heating with heating cables. The checklist shows the control points that minimize the risk of defects.

Exploring Sustainable Finance: A Qualitative Inquiry into Responsible Investment and ESG Risk Evaluation
Authors: Yunus Yana Ameliana , Nanda Sahabuddin
Published: June 2024

This research explores the landscape of sustainable finance, responsible investment, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risk evaluation, aiming to understand their complexities and implications for financial markets and sustainability outcomes. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study conducts a comprehensive review and synthesis of existing literature, drawing insights from academic databases, journals, reports, and other relevant sources. The research design involves purposive sampling of literature based on relevance, rigor, credibility, and significance criteria. Data collection comprises systematic review and analysis of scholarly literature, while thematic analysis is employed for data interpretation. The findings underscore the growing recognition of ESG factors' importance in investment decision-making processes, driven by their materiality to financial performance and sustainability outcomes. Institutional investors play a pivotal role in mainstream adoption of responsible investment practices, driven by the acknowledgment of ESG factors' impact on investment risk and return profiles. However, methodological challenges related to ESG data quality, measurement, and comparability persist, hindering effective ESG integration and risk assessment. Regulatory initiatives like the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) have contributed to mainstreaming ESG considerations but face challenges of regulatory fragmentation and inconsistencies. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts from stakeholders to develop standardized ESG reporting frameworks, enhance stakeholder engagement, and promote regulatory coherence. This study contributes to understanding sustainable finance dynamics and calls for interdisciplinary collaboration to bridge financial theory, sustainability science, and regulatory policy.

Dinî Tecrübe Üzerine
Authors: Karaca Faruk , Aytemiz Faik
Published: June 2024

Tanrı-insan ilişkisi, düşünce tarihinin en önemli sorunları arasında yer almaktadır. Tanrıyla ilişkisini hangi din üzerinden kuruyor olursa olsun, herhangi bir dindarın İlahî olanla karşılaşması ve onu fevkalade bir şekilde yaşaması olarak anlaşılabilecek olan dini tecrübenin imkânı ayrı bir tartışma konusu olsa da dinî tecrübe kavramına yüklenen anlamlar sübjektif öz barındırdığı için kişiden kişiye değişebilecek kadar çeşitlilik arz etmektedir. Bu incelemedeki amaç, insanın varoluşundan beri, dinî inancın temel dayanak olduğu dinî tecrübenin tanımı konusunda ileri sürülen görüşleri tanıtarak bir değerlendirme yapmaktır. Esasen “Dinî tecrübenin imkânı” probleminden ayrı bir şekilde ele alınamayacak olan tanım konusunda “imkân” probleminin dışarıda tutulması konuyu makale sınırlarında tutma amacına matuftur.
Dinî tecrübe tartışmalarındaki önemli bir sorun dinî tecrübenin tanımı olduğu gibi diğer bir tartışma konusu ise kişisel dinî tecrübelerin Tanrı’ya inanmak için yeterli neden sağlayıp sağlamadığı konusudur. Dinî tecrübenin çeşitliliği ise, düşünürleri meşgul eden diğer bir husus olarak konuyla ilgilenen öncü isimlerden W. James’e dinî tecrübeye hasrettiği eseriyle haklı bir ün kazandırmıştır. Teolojik sorgulamadaki tecrübenin durumu ve teolojik sistemlerdeki işlevi teologların konuyla yoğun bir şekilde ilgilendiği alanlar olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Dinî tecrübe üzerine yapılan son tartışmaların odak noktası ise tüm kültürlerin temelinde aynı evrensel bir dinî tecrübe olup olmadığı üzerinedir. Perenniyalistler bu tür evrensel bir dinî tecrübenin varlığını ve tüm dinî tecrübelerin birliğini savunurken, bu görüş, temelde dinî tecrübenin empirik olduğunu ve bu tecrübenin “tanıma yoluyla bilgi”yi içerdiğini ileri sürmektedir. Onlara göre dinî tecrübenin nesnelliğini gösteren şey, duyu tecrübesinde olduğu gibi, tecrübe sahiplerinin tecrübe ettikleri şey konusundaki uzlaşımıdır. Bağlamsalcılar ise, evrensel öz temasını olumsuzlarken, tecrübenin saf ve evrensel bir öze sahip olmasının mümkün olmadığını ileri sürmektedir. Dinî tecrübenin nesnel bilgi sunmasının mümkün olmadığını iddia edenler dinî tecrübenin kişisel olmasını ve başkasına aktarılamamasını kanıt olarak öne sürmektedirler.

Authors: Kimura Renata Namie Yoshioka , Camargo Pedro Henrique Haisi Amaral , Jaworski Paulo Eduardo Dietrich
Published: June 2024

Introdução: Com o aumento da expectativa de vida, houve também crescimento da prevalência de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, como a doença renal crônica (DRC). O tratamento de escolha da DRC terminal é o transplante renal (TR), via doador vivo (DV) ou falecido (DF). São escassos os dados na literatura sobre a qualidade de vida (QV) em pacientes transplantados e a correlação com a origem do enxerto. Objetivos: Analisar a QV em pacientes submetidos a TR antes de 2012, no Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie. Métodos: Este é um estudo transversal observacional. Foram selecionados pacientes submetidos a TR até 2012, sendo a amostra composta por 24 pacientes do sexo feminino (61,5% de DF) e 19 do sexo masculino (38,5% de DF). Foi aplicado o questionário Short Form-36 (SF-36). Os dados foram tabulados em Excel® e analisados estatisticamente. Resultados: Pacientes com DF apresentaram 39 meses excedentes de diálise (p = 0,017) e maiores níveis iniciais medianos de creatinina do que o grupo de DV (D1: p = 0,001, D3 e D7: p < 0,001), com maior decaimento mensal nos 8 anos de TR (p < 0,001) e menores níveis de creatinina nos 7º (p = 0,008) e 8º anos (p = 0,037). Com relação ao questionário SF-36, o único domínio estatisticamente significante foi “saúde mental”, melhor no grupo de DF (p = 0,008). Conclusão: A QV de pacientes transplantados por DV e DF não apresentou diferença significativa, exceto em saúde mental, que foi melhor em DF. Os achados de creatinina foram melhores nos 7º e 8º anos em DF, com taxas maiores na 1ª semana pós-TR, apontando decaimento temporal no grupo de DF.

Authors: Moraes Luanna Rodrigues , Arantes Thaís Moraes , Diniz Vania Sardinha dos Santos , Vale Camila Regina do
Published: June 2024

A espécie Bixa orellana L. é conhecida popularmente como urucum e pertence a família Bixaceae. O urucum é uma fonte natural de corantes vermelhos devido ao seu principal fitoquímico, o carotenoide bixina. Esse composto é empregado como corante natural em várias formulações na indústria alimentícia, tais como, manteigas, queijos, salsichas e sorvetes. Estudos revelaram que a B. orellana também tem potencial terapêutico atuando como antioxidante, antitumoral, anti-inflamatória, dentre outras atividades. Com base na relevância alimentícia e terapêutica da espécie descrita acima, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito tóxico da espécie B. orellana em células da raiz de Allium cepa in vivo. Para essa avaliação, raízes de A. cepa foram imersas no extrato aquoso de B. orellana (EaBo) na concentração de 0,1 mg/L, por um período de 72 horas. A toxicidade foi avaliada pelo comprimento das raízes após exposição ao EaBo e análise morfológica, observando escurecimento, presença de tumores e apodrecimento. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o EaBo não foi tóxico e não provocou alterações morfológicas e/ou surgimento de tumores nas raízes de A. cepa. O controle positivo na concentração utilizada (Paracetamol) apresentou efeito tóxico e inibitório do crescimento das raízes, demonstrado pela mudança de coloração, retardo de crescimento e surgimento de tumores. A espécie apresenta compostos fitoquímicos com atividades biológicas promissoras para uso na alimentação e/ou terapêutica e o presente estudo contribui para segurança e validação de uso seguro. Ressalta-se a importância de novos estudos que avaliem a segurança do uso com diferentes concentrações e em diferentes organismos teste.

Authors: HUDA NU , ALI UA , ABBASI W
Published: June 2024

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Thyroid dysfunction is frequently observed in patients with metabolic syndrome, impacting their overall health outcomes. Objective: To determine the frequency of thyroid dysfunction in patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Medicine, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, from September 2023 to March 2024. A total of 120 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome were included. The patients' thyroid function was assessed through clinical evaluation and laboratory tests, including serum levels of TSH, free T3, and free T4. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics to determine the frequency of thyroid dysfunction, with results expressed as percentages and means ± standard deviations. Results: The average age of the 120 patients was 44.64±9.01 years. The frequency of thyroid dysfunction among these patients was 68.4% (82/120). Subclinical hypothyroidism was present in 27.5% (33/120), hypothyroidism in 14.2% (17/120), and subclinical hyperthyroidism in 4.2% (5/120). Conclusion: The study found a high frequency of thyroid dysfunction (68.4%) in patients with metabolic syndrome, with subclinical hypothyroidism being the most prevalent form. These findings highlight the importance of regular thyroid function screening in patients with metabolic syndrome to ensure early diagnosis and management.
Preparation and Characterization of Febuxostat Nanosuspension as Fast Dissolving Oral Film
Authors: Alwan Zahraa Salim , Rajab Nawal Ayash
Published: June 2024

Background: Quickly dissolved oral films are a widely accepted method of delivering drugs and help patients adhere to treatment regimens. Nanosuspensions (NS) are colloidal dispersions of drug particles with a submicron size, and their large surface area enhances the solubility and dissolution of low-water-soluble drugs. Febuxostat (FXT) is a non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor with a low dissolution rate that limits its absorption. Objective: To develop fast-dissolving oral films (FDOFs) containing FXT NS and convert NS into solid dosage forms to ease administration and accelerate drug release. Methods: FXT NS was prepared using Soluplus as a stabilizer and Tween80 as a co-stabilizer through an anti-solvent precipitation technique. We prepared FDOFs using a solvent casting method, utilizing hydrophilic polymers like pullulan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin, and plasticizers like polyethylene glycol (PEG400) and glycerin. The study assessed the film's thickness, weight, folding endurance, drug content, disintegration time, and drug release. We validated the drug's compatibility using FTIR, and conducted a crystallinity study using DSC and X-ray powder diffraction. Results: F4 was the optimized formula prepared using PVA and PEG400. In just three minutes, the F4 dissolution rate increased significantly (99.63% vs. 11.23%) compared to the FXT ordinary film. Also, it had good mechanical properties. Conclusions: FXT NS were successfully loaded into FDOFs with accepted properties.
B2B Adoption of Mobile Payment Systems: Manager Insights Using a Qualitative Approach
Authors: Downs John , Rains Cherie
Published: June 2024

Mobile payments have become one of the most disruptive financial instruments in the B2C (Business-to-Consumer) market this decade by revolutionizing the consumer shopping experience. Despite the technology’s success in the B2C model, it has not brought a similar adoption experience for B2B (Business-to-Business) applications. Research in this area has been limited to identifying the resistance to adoption in the B2B environment. This exploratory research identified that while barriers exist, there are opportunities to increase the adoption of mobile payment technologies within B2B organizations. There is a large amount of misinformation about the processes associated with adoption that need further investigation. The application of the technology could flow naturally into the B2B sector, but internal organizational struggles could prevent exploring the options. The future of adoption may instead rest on the concept of “reverse adoption,” whereby clients would need to request mobile payment options, otherwise, investments in the technology would not be considered by the organization.
Crisis and Mood: Waiting in Line for Gasoline During the 1979 Oil Shock in the United States
Authors: Baugher Dan , Ramos Chris
Published: June 2024

The topic of crisis remains relevant. During this study's writing and editing process, the COVID-19 coronavirus disease appeared on the world's stage. Further, it is uncanny that in the final stage of the study's 2021 publication, the United States Atlantic Seaboard experienced a gasoline shortage after a cyberattack disabled a major pipeline resulting in crisis lines at gas stations. The study compares the mood of drivers waiting in line for a necessity in a national crisis, in this case, gasoline, during the oil shock of 1979 in the United States to those not waiting shortly after the crisis ended. It also examines how position in such crisis lines affects mood. All subjects answered yes-no adjective questions for anxiety, hostility, and positive affect. Line position was determined by counting the number of cars from the pump. Those waiting showed more hostility, anxiety, positive affect, and uncertainty than those not in line. During the crisis, those farthest from the pump showed greater hostility and less positive affect than those closer, but no difference in anxiety, with uncertainty moderating positive affect but not anxiety or hostility. The crisis occurred at a time when smartphones did not exist. The results suggest smartphones during a crisis would probably have their most significant positive impact if used to reduce uncertainty in fulfilling consumer information needs. Crisis, by its nature, is an unpredictable phenomenon that may explain why there are far more studies of the routine lines encountered in daily living, such as those at airports or call centers, than those experienced in crisis.
Accidental vs Intentional Project Managers: A Case Study
Authors: Bishop Desmond Tres
Published: June 2024

Project management has increasingly become an important part of business globally. Once referred to as the “accidental profession”, project management has recently made strides to become more professionalized. What results are now available? This project uses the case study research methodology to take an in-depth look into project management at a small to medium-sized enterprise. The case employs an empirically proven framework to compare and contrast accidental and intentional project management attitudes and traditional versus protean career approaches. Based on semi-structured interviews, documented evidence, and direct observation, the project suggests that accidental project management is still prevalent in industry, as are protean career attitudes. Additionally, this study recommends that a greater focus on early project management education may result in increased intentional entry into the profession.
Faculty Self-Efficacy and the Pandemic- Lessons Learned for Course Quality
Authors: Horne Kelli
Published: June 2024

The 2020 pandemic required societal changes that especially impacted classrooms. Most educational institutions made a quick pivot to online teaching and learning. While learning management platforms were largely available, not all instructors had experience teaching solely online. Regardless of teaching modality, self-efficacy is a factor in the instructor’s ability to work through challenges posed by the teaching environment. This exploratory study examines the institutional support for faculty at one university and its effects on instructor self-efficacy during a rapid change scenario. The author also considers the relationship between faculty self-efficacy and course quality. The analysis of survey data suggests that online teaching satisfaction and sustained online teaching interest rely on self-efficacy. While experience improves confidence in the ability to manage online classes, it is important that faculty have support systems early when they are entering the online environment for the first time.

This study investigates the relationship between a board of directors' human capital and innovation outcomes. Building upon previous work, we conceptualize the human capital of the board of directors' depth, breadth, and ambidexterity. We test our model using random sample data from S&P 500 companies. The results show that the capital depth of a board leads to more industry-specific innovation while a board's breadth will enable a more diversified innovation portfolio. Further, board ambidexterity is associated with increased patents. Theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.

Biển Đông (theo cách gọi của Việt Nam) là vùng biển được bao bọc bởi 9 quốc gia, gồm Trung Quốc, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore, Thái Lan, Campuchia, Việt Nam và một vùng lãnh thổ là Đài Loan. Biển Đông không chỉ là địa bàn chiến lược quan trọng đối với các nước trong khu vực mà còn của cả châu Á - Thái Bình Dương và thế giới. Vấn đề Biển Đông có nội dung rất rộng lớn. Trước hết, đó là vấn đề chủ quyền lãnh thổ của các quốc gia ven bờ Biển Đông, vấn đề phân định đường biên giới, thềm lục địa và vùng chồng lấn giữa các nước. Thế kỷ XXI, vấn đề Biển Đông còn là vấn đề tự do, an ninh, an toàn hàng hải quốc tế, các nước lớn tranh giành ảnh hưởng và những vấn đề an ninh phi truyền thống khác. Trong phạm vi bài viết này, tác giả tập trung khái quát một số quan điểm của Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam về giải quyết các vấn đề Biển Đông trong bối cảnh hiện nay.

Infectious bursal disease, causing immunosuppression in chickens, poses significant financial challenges to the poultry sector. The onset of clinical symptoms and viral shedding is influenced by factors such as age, immunological condition, route of infection, and virus type. In this study, one hundred suspected infectious bursal disease (IBD) cases from nineteen chicken farms were examined, resulted in an overall positive rate of approximately 80%. Clinical signs in affected birds included ruffled feathers, decreased appetite, diarrhea, and a dirty vent, with hemorrhage seen on thigh muscles.
 Identification was done based on molecular methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and gross pathological observations. Ten samples were randomly selected and tested using specific IBD primers. All those samples were positive, despite the absence of a known cure for IBD, preventive measures, including immunization and rigorous biosecurity protocols, can help mitigate its impact. The study underscores the importance of molecular techniques by using special Primer Design  for diagnosing reassortant very virulent IBDv sttain in natural infected broiler in Iraq(data don’t mention). offering insights into its prevalence and the effectiveness of preventive measures.

Deep Learning, or DL for short, is an emerging subfield within the larger discipline of machine learning in today's world. The study being conducted in this area is progressing at an immediate stride, and the discoveries are contributing to the progression of technology. Deep learning (DL) methods were developed with the intention of developing a general-purpose learning method that would enable the gradual learning of characteristics at multiple levels without relying on human-engineered features. This was the goal of deep learning. Because of this, the system is able to acquire intricate purposes and directly map input to output by making use of the data that it has acquired which is based on Internet of things (IoTs). This study places an emphasis on the application of CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks), which are a subcategory of DNN (Deep Neural Networks), and it develops an efficient layered CNN for the classification of ECG arrhythmias. Even while FC-ANNs (Fully Connected Artificial Neural Networks), which are sometimes referred to as Multilayer-Perceptron networks, are effective in categorising ECG arrhythmias, the optimization process for many classification networks takes a significant amount of time in terms of computation. In addition, the features extracted by engineers are what define the accuracy of the categorization of ECG arrhythmias. An improved CNN based filtering, feature abstraction, and classification prototypical is established in order to conduct an accurate analysis of an electrocardiogram (ECG). When measured against ANN, the performance was found to have an accuracy rating of 99.6%. Consequently, the CNN model that was suggested is useful to doctors in arriving at the definitive diagnosis of AFL (atrial flutter), AFIB (atrial fibrillation), VFL (ventricular flutter), and VT (ventricular tachycardia). It includes denoising, feature extraction, and categorization as part of its functionality.
