Effects of the Common External Tariff on intra-regional trade: The case of the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Economic Community of West African States.
Authors: Malick Sane
Published: September 2020

In West Africa, two common external tariffs coexist at the sub-regional and regional level with eight countries out of fifteen sharing their membership of the two entities. This paper analyzes intra-West African Economic and Monetary Union trade flows with the implementation of the Economic Community of West African States common external tariffs. The study makes use of a methodology which is based on an augmented gravity model. Overall, the findings from the three estimated models converge in the same direction, with several significant coefficients simultaneously and of the same sign. The findings provide overall satisfaction in the estimation of the gravity model. The lack of diversification of the economies of the two zones is one of the explanatory factors for the relative weakness of intra-regional trade. The issue of the structural transformation of the economies of the member countries therefore arises, more than ever acutely, which would contribute to the intensification of trade to make intra-regional trade one of the levers of economic growth and development in the two customs unions.
Financial development and economic growth in the CEPGL region: evidence based on panel data
Authors: Biringanine Alexis Nyamugira , Mzee Kazamwali
Published: September 2020

This paper contributes to the huge debate on the relationship between financial development and the economic growth. The evidence is applied to the CEPGL (Communauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs) region. Previous studies have concluded either to the absence of connection between the two spheres, to a unidirectional or bidirectional relationship, or to a differentiated connection depending on the economic status of development of the country. The research design applied in this research has been inspired by the reality of the region by running an Error Correction Model for each country and a fixed effects model on panel data for the whole region. Therefore, we estimated econometric models from a series of macroeconomic data relating to the depth, and the accessibility of the financial system. The data used in this study range from 1976 to 2013. Insights from this study show that the financial system of the region is extremely underdeveloped, a weak connection between the financial and the economic sphere, in addition to an ambivalent sense of causality.

Authors: Makarova Marina Vladimirovna
Published: September 2020

The subject of this research is investments in development of online education in Russia. The object of this research is online education in the current conditions of digital economy. The author analyzes the dynamics of investments in capital assets and federal expenditure over the period from 2016 to 2018. The growing role of online education on the Russian education market is indicated. Analysis is conducted on the increased costs of education development. The conclusions are formulated on need for attracting private investments in online educational projects, as well as active development of public-private partnership. It is underlined that although federal expenditure (investments) on education is increasing, it is clearly insufficient and requires attraction of private investments through development of public-private partnership. The following conclusions were made: 1) the government develops mechanisms of public-private partnerships; 2. Only regional investment funds remain in Russia; the Investment Fund of the Russian Federation no longer exists, since its creation on the federal level was not justifiable; 3. Russian education increases its rating on the international level, which influence the development of higher education in the Russian Federation along with export of education; 4. Internet usage among Russian population is uneven. The scientific novelty consists in the attempt to determine the trends in export of Russian education.
Conceptual matrix of innovative model of agricultural-industrial production in the enterprises of the Russian defense complex
Authors: Potekhin Viktor Nikolaevich
Published: September 2020

The traditional theoretical, methodological and practical approaches towards solution of the problem of restoration in a short time frame and further highly efficient development of agriculture have exhausted their capacity a while ago. Their subsequent application is associated with significant socioeconomic and other losses for the entire society, including rural population. The transition to a qualitatively new level of development requires corresponding scientific basis, theory that would be adequate to reality, systemic-holistic interdisciplinary methodology, system of objective indicators that allow conducting research in the conditions of ultimate certainty – knowledge of the structure, content, objective mechanism of development and rational management of these processes. The conducted analysis of the existing reproductivity models in agriculture determined the varieties characteristic to this sphere, which include the extensive and partially intensive models of reproduction with significant flaws in the structure, content, and essence of the reflected socioeconomic phenomena, namely limitations in the development of production forces and industrial relations that have negative impact and are inadmissible for the qualitatively new tasks. The highlighted conceptual matrix of the innovative model of agricultural-industrial production excludes these shortcomings; it has a universal type by the level of management and is promising for ubiquitous distribution of innovative reproduction in agriculture. Its advantage consists in the new systemic-holistic interdisciplinary methodology; educational-scientific-managerial and material-technical basis; system of training of personnel of innovation type; objective information system and new generation management system; truly humane vector of development and management; real opportunity for ensuring sustainable development of the Russian agrarian complex. Consolidation of socioeconomic, human resource, scientific and technological capacity of the defense enterprises allows successfully resolving a complex task on rational formation and development of innovative industries in agriculture in a short time frame.

Authors: Deveykis Marina
Published: September 2020

This article examines the little-studied problem of periodization of the history of museology. The author describes the existing approaches of various scholars towards periodization, conducts their critical analysis, and offers original concept. The recommended model of the development of museology is based on the criterion of evolution of state power in the country. The subject of this research is to determine the peculiarities of museum construction in Saint Petersburg (the emergence of new profile groups, changes of social functions, impact of government policy upon museology) during the imperial, Soviet and presidential periods. The proposed methodology does not repeat any of the previously proposed periodization, which defines the novelty of this work. The recommended periodization, first and foremost, would allow conducting comparative analysis of the history of museum construction in different regions, both horizontally – each period, and vertically – between the periods; secondly, it is universal tool for all researchers in solution of research tasks and problems of museology; thirdly, it provides broader regional coverage – for identification of specific, common to certain areas, processes of the development of museology, as well as for introduction of regional material into the overall trend of museum development in Russia.

Published: September 2020

Objetivo: Avaliar o uso da tomografia computadorizada de baixa dose (TCBD) no rastreamento do câncer de pulmão (CP). Revisão bibliográfica: O CP representa a neoplasia com maior incidência e mortalidade no mundo e caracteriza-se por rápida progressão e diagnóstico tardio, fatores que limitam as opções terapêuticas e contribuem para a baixa sobrevida dos pacientes. Medidas de rastreio mostram-se favoráveis em pacientes assintomáticos com alto risco de neoplasia, contribuindo com um prognóstico favorável. A TCBD revela-se como a principal ferramenta de rastreio, apresentando maior sensibilidade na detecção precoce de neoplasia de pulmão e de câncer em estágio I, quando comparada à triagem por radiografia torácica. Entretanto, fatores como a relação custo-benefício, a alta exposição à radiação ionizante e risco de falsos positivos representam empecilhos que devem ser analisados e considerados antes da implementação da triagem generalizada por TCBD. Considerações finais: A TCBD é objeto de estudo devido à grande relevância de seu uso na triagem de câncer de pulmão, decorrente de análises bibliográficas e pesquisas anteriores.

A Fused Thiophene-S,S-Dioxide-Based Super-Photostable Fluorescent Marker for Lipid Droplets
Authors: Taki Masayasu , Kajiwara Keiji , Yamaguchi Eriko , Sato Yoshikatsu , Yamaguchi Shigehiro
Published: September 2020

Lipid droplets (LDs) are essential organelle in most eukaryotes, and tracking intracellular LDs dynamics using synthetic small molecules is crucial for biological studies. However, only a limited number of fluorescent markers that satisfy all requirements, such as the selective staining of LDs, high photostability, and sufficient biocompatibility, have been developed. Herein, we report a series of donor-p-acceptor dyes based on the thiophene-containing fused polycyclic scaffold [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT), in which either or both thiophene rings are oxidized into thiophene-S,S-dioxide to form an electron-accepting building block. Among these dyes, LAQ1 satisfied all the aforementioned requirements, and allowed us capturing ultra-small LDs on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane by stimulation emission depletion (STED) microscopy with a super-resolution below the diffraction limit of light. Moreover, the extremely high photostability of LAQ1 enabled recording the lipolysis of LDs and the concomitant lipogenesis as well as long-term trajectory analysis of micro LDs at the single particle level in living cells.

Authors: Beula Evangeline C  , Ganesh GNK
Published: September 2020

Coronavirus is a common type of virus that usually infects humans and results in a high breathing infection. This virus transmits through the air by coughing and sneezing, near physical contacts, and touching virus-contaminated substances or surfaces. Symptoms include runny nose, sore throat, feeling unwell, cough, and fever. The coronavirus outbreak (officially known as COVID-19), which started in China, has so far taken lives of over 190,656 people and affected 2,718,797 people across the world. The infection has spread to 185 countries. According to the official report released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Union (MoHFW), 23,077 confirmed cases and 718 deaths have been registered so far in India. The transmission of COVID-19 was successfully controlled by India until now. The Department of Indian Health Science is well organized to control the corona epidemic. The Indian Health Sciences Department and the Regulatory Team (CDSCO) are advancing bio-war against the pandemic by providing effective and constructive updates to the pharmaceutical industry and making it easier for the citizens to prevent transmission in India. The most critical factor in preventing the local spread of the virus is to motivate the public to obtain the right information and take precautions in compliance with the health ministry's warnings.

Authors: Elokhin A. P. , Vasilenko A. A. , Ulin S. E. , Yuksekler S. .. , Yuksekler M. ..
Published: September 2020

The paper presents a study of the automated control system of the underwater radio-controlled unmanned vehicle (as a prototype) which monitors the radiation in the deepwater area bottom (with the depth over 10 m), and a system of the operator-vehicle communication line. A standard approach to the radiation monitoring is applied with the help of spectrometric and dosimetry equipment, as well as an echo sounder mounted on the underwater vehicle. The communication line with a facility located on the ground is exercised in the following two ways: when in water, it is arranged through the information transmission by ultrasound to the buffer gear floating on the surface of the water area, and through the gear it gets in a retransmission to the operator on the ground via a radio channel. The control of the underwater vehicle is exercised in the reversed sequence: from the operator to the buffer gear, it goes through a radio channel, then it goes from the latter to the underwater vehicle by the retransmission into ultrasound, and then it reaches the receiving device of the underwater vehicle through further retransmission.

Methods for Controlling Carbonate Deposits on Heat Exchange Equipment in Nuclear Power Industry
Authors: Galanova M. N. , Bartel E. R. , Bogush N. V.
Published: September 2020

All heat exchange equipment of nuclear power plants is subject to carbonate deposits, and especially strongly the one in which water circulates from the cooling pond. The appearance of contamination on the surface of the heat exchange leads to various consequences from a slight deterioration of heat transfer to premature wear of equipment. Increasing the thickness of contamination in heat exchangers at nuclear power plants also leads to losses of electrical power, and this is a direct economic loss. As a result, the problem of controlling carbonate deposits is very urgent and does not have a universal solution at present. The paper shows how heat exchange worsens in one month if no measures are taken. However, existing cleaning methods do not give 100% results and have their own disadvantages. This paper highlights the methods used for cleaning deposits, considers ways to increase their efficiency, and presents new ideas that were not previously used at nuclear power plants (including the Rostov NPP). These include increasing the efficiency of the ball cleaning system, reducing the salt content of the cooling reservoir, ultrasonic cleaning, and last of all, water magnetization. Their advantages over the existing ones are that cleaning is carried out during operation, there is no large waste for disposal, there is no probability of damage to the tubes, and they can be performed by the personnel of the nuclear power plant, which is less time and financial costs. The proposed ways are completely different, but they work for the same end goal, that is, to reduce pollution, reduce energy underutilization and eliminate lost profits.

Authors: Rudenko V. A. , Ozhereliev V. D. , Evdoshkina Yu. A. , Tsuverkalova O. F. , Setrakov A. N.
Published: September 2020

This article examines the role of safety culture and the direction of its formation to ensure the efficiency of the nuclear industry enterprises. There are two main categories to be analyzed - consciousness and self-control, it analyses their interrelation, mutual influence. We use a non-standard approach for this problem - the method of analyzing hierarchies. As a result of the calculations, a matrix of global priorities is constructed, which allows us to rank by significance activities aimed at overcoming destructive factors. The most significant event is considered to be the constant expansion of the information field. The results obtained should form the basis of a strategy for creating and improving the level of safety culture at nuclear power plants as the riskiest industrial facilities.

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF COOPERATIVES ON ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Yadav Geeta
Published: September 2020

The idea of cooperation is not new to man. It is as old as man himself. Cooperatives are an almost universal form of organization today found in practically all countries and used by people in many ways. A Co-operative is a unique form of business used by people and businesses for their mutual benefit. Cooperatives are community-based, rooted in democracy, flexible, and have participatory involvement, which makes them well suited for economic development The meaning of cooperation is that isolated   and powerless individuals can, by combining with one another, achieve advantages available to the rich and the powerful so that they may advance not only materially but also morally. In other words a cooperative is a business organization that is owned by those who use its services, the control of which rests equally with all the members. It is voluntary and democratic and the moral element is as important as the material one. Furthermore, it recognizes social, educational, and community values. An economy based on one form of business organization alone is neither desirable nor possible in modern times. To justify their existence and fulfil their purpose, cooperatives must make a significant and unique contribution to solving some of the massive problems facing mankind today. This paper examines the role of cooperative societies in economic development. The aim is to investigate the ways in which cooperatives can act as agents towards economic development.
