EXPLANATION OF CONCRETE FILLING DEFECT ON MORTAR LOSS MODEL
Authors: Oku Hiroaki , Suyama Hiroki , Takasu Koji , Koyamada Hidehiro
Published: February 2020

Problems with filling can lead to rebar corrosion and impair the durability and all other functional aspects of reinforced concrete structures. However, the prevention of concrete filling defects is left to the skill, judgment, and experience of on-site operators. In this research, we develop a methodology for quantitatively estimating the rate of occurrence of concrete filling defects. By this, we hope to promote the efficient and effective prevention of such defects at construction sites. Therefore, as a model for defective filling, we propose a mortar loss model in which the mortar component of concrete free falling into the frame adheres to the reinforcing bars in the frame, and based on that, we conducted an experiment. Using actual measurement data, we quantitatively estimated the risk of defective filling.

Dekomunizacja zielonogórskich urbanonimów
Authors: Żuraszek-Ryś Iwona
Published: February 2020

The article describes the process of decommunization of urbanonyms in one of the Polish voivodeship capitals, Zielona Góra. It presents both the changes in naming we are witnessing currently and past ones. During the first removal of communist patrons we still had to deal with the period of the Polish People’s Republic after Stalin’s death and Władysław Gomułka’s coming to power. However, the changes introduced at that time were quite limited and concerned a small number of people who were no longer in power – Stalin and Marshal Rola-Żymierski. The proper decommunization was related to the political transformation after 1989. The previous urbanonyms, based mainly on anthroponyms, were replaced with names referring to people and events that could not be commemorated before and were to be erased from history (e.g. ul. Hanki Sawickiej changed to ul. gen. Okulickiego). In addition, the changes were motivated by the need nto commemorate local activists and heroes, and to highlight the history and topography of the city. The last decommunization was enforced by the enactment of the Act on the Prohibition of Propagation of Communism or Other Totalitarian Regimes and ended quite recently (the last street name change was voted on on March 27, 2018). Four streets in Zielona Góra have been renamed, including two referring to military organizations associated with the communist movement (ul. Armii Ludowej→ ul. Władysława Jagiełły and ul. II Armii → ul. Żołnierzy 2 Armii), and two based on dates (ul. Przylep-22 Lipca → ul. Przylep-Solidarności and ul. Przylep-9 Maja → ul. Przylep-8 Maja). Therefore, in the case of both decommunizations, ideological considerations prevailed, and to a lesser degree so did economic or cultural ones.

Measurement of inotropy and systemic oxygen delivery in term, low- and very-low-birth-weight neonates using the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor (USCOM)
Authors: Zheng Man-Li , He Shao-Ru , Liu Yu-Mei , Chen Lin
Published: February 2020

Background

The aim of this study was to assess the normal values of the Smith-Madigan inotropy index (SMII) and oxygen delivery index (DO2I) in low-birth-weight (LBW) and very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) newborns on the first 3 days of life, and to identify how different degrees of maturity influence cardiovascular alterations during the transitional period compared with term neonates.

Methods

Twenty-eight VLBW newborns, 46 LBW newborns and 50 normal full-term newborns admitted to our department were studied. Hemodynamics of the left heart were measured in all neonates over the first 3 days using the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor (USCOM). This was combined with hemoglobin concentration and pulse oximetry to calculate DO2I. Blood pressure was combined with the hemodynamic measures and hemoglobin concentration to calculate SMII.

Results

SMII showed statistically significant differences among the three groups (VLBW 0.48 ± 0.11; LBW 0.54 ± 0.13; term 0.69 ± 0.17 W/m2 P < 0.001), which was in line with the following myocardial parameters: stroke volume index (SVI) and cardiac index (CI) (P < 0.001 and <0.001). For systemic oxygen delivery (DO2) parameters, significant differences were found for DO2I (P < 0.001) while hemoglobin concentration and pulse oximetry demonstrated no significant differences. In the VLBW group, SMII and DO2I showed no significant change over the 3 days.

Conclusion

Normal inotropy and systemic DO2I values in VLBW neonates over the first 3 days of life were assessed. SMII and DO2I were significantly lower in VLBW neonates during the first 72 h of life. With increasing birth weight, higher myocardial inotropy and DO2 were found. The addition of USCOM examination to standard neonatal echocardiography may provide further important information regarding cardiac function.

Authors: Rosen Charlotte , Czuzoj-Shulman Nicholas , Mishkin Daniel S. , Abenhaim Haim Arie
Published: February 2020

Background

Little is known about the impact of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) on pregnancy. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of PUD on pregnancy and newborn outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was carried out using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP)-National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from the United States. The cohort consisted of all births that took place from 1999 to 2015. PUD was classified on the basis of the International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision (ICD-9) coding. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the adjusted effect of PUD on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Results

Of the 13,792,544 births in this cohort, 1005 were to women with PUD (7/100,000 births). Between 1999 and 2015, prevalence of PUD in pregnancy increased from 4/100,000 to 11/100,000, respectively. Women with PUD were more commonly older and more likely to have comorbid illnesses. Women with PUD were at greater risk of preeclampsia [odds ratio (OR) 2.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67–2.66], preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM; OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.30–3.59), cesarean delivery (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.40–1.82), venous thromboembolism (OR 3.77, 95% CI 2.08–6.85) and maternal death (OR 24.50, 95% CI 10.12–59.32). Births to women with PUD were at increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR; OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.11–2.14), preterm birth (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.54–2.21), intrauterine fetal death (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.35–3.52) and congenital anomalies (OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.59–4.56).

Conclusion

The prevalence of PUD in pregnancy has risen over the last several years. PUD in pregnancy should be considered a high-risk condition associated with important adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Authors: Kwak Dong Wook , Kim Mina , Oh Soo-young , Park Hyun Soo , Kim Sa Jin , Kim Moon Young , Hwang Han Sung
Published: February 2020

Objective

To determine the reproducibility of the mean strain value in various cervical areas and new elastographic parameters for measuring cervical stiffness evaluated by strain elastography usingin vivocompression generated by internal organ movement.

Methods

A prospective observational study (140 singleton pregnant women; 15–33 weeks of gestation) was performed at two tertiary centers. Cervical strain was evaluated using E-cervix™ elastography. The mean strain levels of various cervical areas [internal os (IOS), external os (EOS) and endocervical area] and several new parameters [i.e. the ratio of the strain level of IOS and EOS, elasticity contrast index (ECI), and hardness ratio] were assessed twice by two independent examiners. The inter-observer and intra-observer variances were calculated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Bland-Altman (B-A) analysis was also performed.

Results

The median gestational age was 24.0 weeks, and the mean cervical length (CL) was 3.8 cm. The intra-observer and inter-observer ICCs of the mean strain levels of the specified cervical area and new elastographic parameters were statistically significant (P < 0.001, all); the intra-observer ICC was 0.639–0.725, and the inter-observer ICC was 0.538–0.718.

Conclusion

The reproducibility of elastographic parameter measurements usingin vivocompression is improvable.
Full-Dimensional Photodynamics of Bistable Proton Transfer Switches
Authors: Raeker Tim , Hartke Bernd
Published: February 2020

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfers (ESIPT) are one of the fastest reactions in chemistry (<100 fs) which – among other features like high photostability – makes them an important reaction class for molecular switches. ESIPTs can be coupled with double bond rotation/isomerization, so that molecules can act as “molecular cranes”, facilitating long-range proton transfer. A versatile model system is 7-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline-8-carbaldehyde (HMQCA): it features two proton-accepting sites, two stable ground-state isomers and should allow for easy derivatization. There is also experimental and theoretical reference data available, however, only for static properties, e.g. ground-state IR spectra or potential energy surface scans. In this contribution we show the results of full-dimensional surface-hopping molecular dynamics (MD) of HMQCA after photo-excitation, employing semiempirical quantum mechanics coupled to floating-occupation configuration interaction. The results support the potential of HMQCA as prototype system for directed proton transport by ESIPT.
Modèle de gestion moderne de projet : entre tradition et renouvellement théorique
Authors: Mignenan Victor , Meddeb Brahim
Published: February 2020

Sur les plans épistémologiques, théoriques et méthodologiques, la gestion moderne de projet est portée par des approches universelles et leurs perspectives critiques, mais aussi par des courants de pensée de l’hypermodernité. L’article met en évidence les modèles paradigmatiques et identifie les cadres théoriques au sein desquels les chercheurs pourraient inscrire leurs travaux. D’abord, la traditionnelle approche universelle positiviste considère le projet comme une entité d’origine pratique. Le gestionnaire y est apprécié selon ses compétences instrumentales, qui optimisent le succès de gestion du projet. En revanche, la perspective contingente met de l’avant la synergie et la collaboration synchronisées des équipes, et elle développe des structures souples pour satisfaire les parties prenantes. En conséquence, l’hypothèse selon laquelle la perspective universelle constitue un meilleur prédicteur du succès des projets que la perspective contingente est un mythe. L’analyse montre que les deux perspectives sont complémentaires, et qu’elles ont à la fois des moteurs et des obstacles pour le succès global du projet.
Reduced Function of the Glutathione S-Transferase S1 Suppresses Behavioral Hyperexcitability inDrosophilaExpressing Mutant Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Authors: Chen Hung-Lin , Kasuya Junko , Lansdon Patrick , Kaas Garrett , Tang Hanxi , Sodders Maggie , Kitamoto Toshihiro
Published: February 2020

Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels play a central role in the generation and propagation of action potentials in excitable cells such as neurons and muscles. To determine how the phenotypes of Nav-channel mutants are affected by other genes, we performed a forward genetic screen for dominant modifiers of the seizure-prone, gain-of-function Drosophila melanogaster Nav-channel mutant, paraShu. Our analyses using chromosome deficiencies, gene-specific RNA interference, and single-gene mutants revealed that a null allele of glutathione S-transferase S1 (GstS1) dominantly suppresses paraShu phenotypes. Reduced GstS1 function also suppressed phenotypes of other seizure-prone Nav-channel mutants, paraGEFS+ and parabss. Notably, paraShu mutants expressed 50% less GstS1 than wild-type flies, further supporting the notion that paraShu and GstS1 interact functionally. Introduction of a loss-of-function GstS1 mutation into a paraShu background led to up- and down-regulation of various genes, with those encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes most significantly over-represented in this group. Because GstS1 is a fly ortholog of mammalian hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase, and in mammals CYPs are involved in the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids including prostaglandins, our results raise the intriguing possibility that bioactive lipids play a role in GstS1-mediated suppression of paraShu phenotypes.
Rosselia Trace Fossil in Lower Jurassic Sediments from Cape Airkat (Northern Siberia)
Authors: Popov A.Yu. , Shurygin B.N.
Published: February 2020

—We study the morphology and sedimentary facies of trace fossils formerly identified as Arctichnus found at the base of the Jurassic section near Cape Airkat (northern Siberia). They are most often found in shoreface silty sand and are similar to Rosselia socialis ichnospecies in morphology, taphonomy, and depositional environments. On the basis of this similarity, the Airkat trace fossils should be identified as Rosselia socialis Dahmer, 1937. Analysis of the type collection of Arctichnus arcticus has revealed new morphological features of the taxon.
Recording the Vertical Component of the Electric Field in Magnetotelluric Sounding
Authors: Plotkin V.V. , Mogilatov V.S.
Published: February 2020

—Magnetotelluric sounding (MTS) usually records variations in five components of the electromagnetic field. Interpretation of distorted MT responses of an inhomogeneous earth may be problematic. The problem can be solved by recording additionally the vertical component Ez of the electric field in order to improve the quality of inversion and to gain more information. Currently Ez variations are estimated by measuring voltage on a vertical line immersed in water. The land measurements of this kind require special drilling or using the existing boreholes, which is not always feasible. Otherwise, a circular electric dipole (CED) can be used as a receiver to record the electric field behavior along the vertical component. Its applicability to MT soundings is analyzed in this paper.
Crecimiento pro pobre en México
Authors: Díaz González Eliseo , Orozco Lalo Jorge Fabián
Published: February 2020

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el problema de la pobreza y la desigualdad del ingreso en México, en el contexto del proceso de democratización que ha experimentado el país en las tres últimas décadas, utilizando la metodología de crecimiento económico pro-pobre de Kakwani & Pernia (2000); Ravallion (2008) y Ravallion & Chen (2001), así como el llamado efecto igualador de Acemoglu et al. (2013), donde la democratización promueve políticas a favor de los pobres, mejorando la redistribución y reduciendo la desigualdad. Se analiza el periodo 1992-2014, que, en el plano político, marca la transición de no-democracia a la democracia. Los resultados sugieren que el crecimiento económico ha sido a favor de los pobres, aunque no en sentido estricto, pues no se observa mejoramiento de la distribución del ingreso.
Contribución a una teoría del valor del arte sobre la base de los aportes de Marx a la teoría de la renta del suelo
Authors: Durán Medraño José María
Published: February 2020

El artículo cuestiona el supuesto de que las diferencias en los ingresos de los artistas son el resultado de diferentes talentos innatos y que la teoría de la renta diferencial de Ricardo explicaría la función económica de estos. Se rebate este supuesto haciendo uso de las aportaciones de Marx a la teoría de la renta del suelo en el capitalismo. Para Marx, no es la fertilidad de la tierra la que explica la renta del suelo sino la producción agrícola. Siguiendo a Marx, los ingresos de los artistas no son el resultado de los talentos innatos, sino que surgen de la producción de valor para los productos artísticos. Se considera la producción de valor como el producto de una relación social formalizada en un aparato jurídico: los derechos de propiedad intelectual.
Las Asociaciones Público - Privadas en Colombia: una reflexión sobre el mecanismo en el país entre 2018 y 2019
Authors: López Buritica Lady Katherin , Buesaquillo Salazar Diego Andrés
Published: February 2020

El déficit fiscal en los países en desarrollo supone un deterioro en la inversión estatal en aspectos como infraestructura, repercutiendo considerablemente en el crecimiento económico y desarrollo social de un país. Este panorama ha hecho necesario acoger mecanismos que permitan responder a dicha problemática, entre los cuales se ha optado por impulsar la inversión privada. Es así como las Asociaciones Público-Privadas —conocidas como APP— se han establecido como modelo para la mejora del país, al consolidarse una relación y trabajo conjunto entre el sector público y privado para proveer bienes y servicios a los colombianos. En este artículo, se contextualiza en primer lugar acerca del marco regulatorio de APP vigente, se expone en segundo lugar una breve revisión de trabajos donde se aborda el mecanismo, luego se presenta una descripción de los proyectos APP a febrero de 2019 y 2018 según el RUAPP, y por último se relacionan los resultados observados con el Índice Departamental de Competitividad con el fin de analizar e identificar qué aspectos posibilitan el desarrollo de este mecanismo en los departamentos.

Authors: Salazar Trujillo Boris
Published: February 2020

Además de la recesión mundial, de los billones de dólares perdidos, y de la quiebra de algunas de las firmas de inversión más grandes del mundo, la crisis financiera global de 2008 trajo a este mundo la promesa del pluralismo en la enseñanza de la economía. No es una promesa nueva. En los años 1970 estudiantes y profesores radicales cuestionaron la unanimidad reinante en la enseñanza de la economía y propusieron la inclusión de otras escuelas, ontologías y metodologías en los currículos de los programas.

Published: February 2020

The object of research is the process of designing of adaptive multifunctional clothing. The basis for improvement of designing of adaptive multifunctional clothing is the application of energy-information effects of materials on the functional state of the human body. On the basis of this, it is justified to form a package of materials for development of adaptive men's underwear for treatment and prevention of chronic prostatitis. A positive therapeutic and prophylactic effect on patients is ensured by silver plates located on adaptive multifunctional underwear sites according to the biologically active zones of the lower part of the men’s body. Provision of multifunctional clothing with advanced functionality has a positive economic effect by reducing the consumer's money costs and reducing the time spent on medical procedures. The social effect of the work is manifested in improving the health status of men with chronic prostatitis, and, accordingly, improving the quality of their life. The effectiveness of the developed adaptive multifunctional underwear is confirmed by experimental wearing and clinical approbation.
MODULAR GARMENT AS A WAY TO ASSEMBLE THE READY-MADE CLOTHING
Authors: Soroka Mariya , Vityuk Juliya
Published: February 2020

The awareness of sustainability is increasing in diverse industries, including fashion industry. The second-hand clothing trade might be considered as a way to make apparel more sustainable. However, the second-hand market adds to the environment contamination using toxic elements to disinfect the clothing. Enhancing the lifespan of product by making it transformable is another approach to sustainability.
Transformable modular clothing is one of the alternatives to reduce consumption. Thus, this paper aims to develop a modular garment construction as a way of forming the ready-made clothing by the consumer himself.
While fashion depends on continuous updates, the proposed way of assembling the ready-made clothing as a modular item allows the garment to last emotionally long enough to be addressed practically by consumers. An example of modular clothing is designed based on the typological range of women clothing. The range consists of different garment types, which might be transformed into each other. The principle of universality was applied as a basic principle of modular garment design. The universal basic garment designs were found for several different combinations of garment types. The technical information needed to design the modular garment is represented in a form of database of transformation elements.

The article is devoted to the improvement of the design process of clothing for pregnant women on the basis of the concept of a systems approach.
The role of clothing in this period acquires a special functional significance. The most important functions of clothing for pregnant women are to provide comfortable conditions for physiological and spiritual life.
Significant influence on constructive-composite solution of clothing models is carried out by biosocial features. Functionality of clothing is realized on the basis of the choice of properties of materials, package design, constructive-composite and coloristic solution of models. The recommended color palette for pregnant women's clothes is formed taking into account the color type of appearance and personality type.
The influence of changes in the size and shape of the body of women in the course of pregnancy progression on constructive-compositional solutions in clothing is investigated by constructing and analysing sweep of the body surface of women in different periods of pregnancy. The use of transformation methods in the design of clothing for pregnant women can significantly expand the range, enhance its versatility and functionality, extend the service life, reduce the cost of purchase.

Felnőttek esetén a szubjektív jóllét és a mentális egészség mérésére számos kérdőív áll rendelkezésre, de gyermekek esetén ilyen teszteknek szűkében vagyunk. A szubjektív jóllét mérése iskolai környezetben is fontos, magyar nyelvű teszt azonban az általános iskolai korosztály számára nem áll rendelkezésre. A jelen tanulmány célja Ivens (2007) e célra kialakított tesztjének magyarra adaptálása (IGYBH), illetve egy öt pilléren (jóllét, savoring, alkotó-végrehajtó hatékonyság, önreguláció, reziliencia) nyugvó felnőtt magyar mentális egészség teszt, a MET 10–14 éves korosztályra adaptálása. Az elvégzett pszichometriai elemzések igazolták mindkét teszt szerkezeti megfelelőségét 10 éves kor fölött, és pozitív eredményeket kaptunk a két teszt validitásával kapcsolatban is. Érdekes eredményként adódott, hogy magasabb osztályokban a tanulók szubjektívjóllét-szintje alacsonyabb.

Arterial stiffness as a factor of structural and functional cardiac remodeling in obesity
Authors: Druzhilov M. A. , Kuznetsova T. Yu.
Published: February 2020

Aim. To analyze the association of parameters characterizing the degree of arterial stiffness and echocardiographic criteria for cardiac remodeling in patients with abdominal obesity.

Material and methods. The study included 194 patients (men aged 46 to 55 years (49,0±2,3 years)), without hypertension (24-hour average blood pressure (BP) 117,5±5,5/73,0±4,1 mmHg), diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, with abdominal obesity (waist circumference >94 cm, body mass index 31,3±3,5 kg/m2). Lipids and glucose concentrations were evaluated, and glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the CKD-EPI equation. We conducted 24-hour monitoring of blood pressure and arterial stiffness parameters (aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx) and systolic BP in the aorta), and echocardiography.

Results. Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy was detected in 14 (7,2%) patients, LV diastolic dysfunction — in 36 (18,6%) patients. The correlation of the average aortic PWV and the AIx with the LV mass index and the left atrial volume was shown. Patients with a high aortic PWV exceeding the 75th percentile of distribution (8,2 m/s) were characterized by a higher incidence of hypertrophy (18,8% vs 4,9%,

p<0,01) and LV diastolic dysfunction (50,0% vs 12,3%, p<0,001). Patients with/with-out LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction were characterized by higher values of average 24-hour aortic PWV, AIx and systolic BP in the aorta. According to the regression analysis, the predictors of LV diastolic dysfunction were age, waist circumference, aortic PWV, and AIx.

Conclusion. The relationship of parameters characterizing the degree of arterial stiffness, primarily, aortic PWV and echocardiographic parameters of the structural and functional cardiac remodeling in obese patients was revealed. Patients with a high aortic PWV (>8,2 m/s for men aged 46-55 years) are characterized by a higher prevalence of LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, as well as left atrial dilatation. This association is probably a reflection of one of the many pathogenesis links of HF and supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias in obese patients.

Published: February 2020

Resumo Quantificar a intensidade da radiação solar incidente na superfície terrestre é extremamente importante, pois os processos de ordem natural, sejam eles físicos, químicos e/ou biológicos dependem diretamente dela. Contudo, existem algumas dificuldades para medir esta variável, na qual destaca-se o custo elevado de equipamentos para esta finalidade. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um protótipo de baixo custo para medir radiação solar global bem como promover a contextualização do ensino de física. Uma estrutura de alumínio fundido, para minimizar os efeitos térmicos e as intempéries sobre suas medidas foi desenvolvida. Esta estrutura era coberta com um difusor plano de acrílico e uma cúpula semi-esférica de vidro que envolvia o sensor fotoresistivo. O protótipo foi conectado ao arduino, usado como datalogger, através de um cabo de rede. Para a calibração do protótipo foi utilizado um piranômetro comercial modelo CM5 da KIPP & ZONEN. Índices estatísticos para se medir a acurácia do protótipo foram aplicados. As medidas foram realizadas continuamente, a cada minuto, durante cinco dias. Os resultados mostraram: coeficiente de determinação foi de R 2 = 0 , 957, de eficiência ( ε = 0 , 95 ), índice de concordância de Willmott ( d = 0 , 99 ) e o erro médio absoluto ( E M A = 51 , 22 W m − 2 ). Verifica-se uma boa aproximação dos valores de radiação solar global medidas pelo protótipo referentes aos do CM5. Portanto, a construção deste protótipo é útil para facilitar e difundir medidas diárias de radiação solar global e, sobre tudo, poderá contribuir com a contextualização dos conceitos estudados em Física nos ensinos básico e superior.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report on a case of malignant hyperthermia in a child after a magnetic resonance imaging of the skull was performed using sevoflurane anesthesia. Case description: A 3-year-old boy admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit after presenting clinical and laboratory findings consistent with unspecified viral meningoencephalitis. While the patient was sedated, a magnetic resonance imaging of the skul was performed using propofol followed by the administration of sevoflurane through a laryngeal mask in order to continue anesthesia. Approximately three hours after the start of the procedure, the patient presented persistent tachycardia, tachypnea, generalized muscular stiffness and hyperthermia. With a diagnostic hypothesis of malignant hyperthermia, dantrolene was then administered, which immediately induced muscle stiffness, tachycardia, tachypnea and reduced body temperature. Comments: Malignant hyperthermia is a rare pharmacogenetic syndrome characterized by a severe hypermetabolic reaction after the administration of halogenated inhalational anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants such as succinylcholine, or both. Although it is a potentially fatal disease, the rapid administration of continued doses dantrolene has drastically reduced the morbidity and mortality of the disease.

Origanum L. cinsi, hem dünyada hem de Türkiye’de birçok türe sahiptir. Bu türlerden özellikle Origanum onites L. ticarete konu olmuştur ve ekonomik bir değere sahiptir. Bu sebeple kültüre alma ve agronomi çalışmaları çoğunlukla bu tür üzerinde yapılmıştır. Ancak literatürde daha az yer olan Origanum cinsine ait diğer türlerin verim ve kalite özelliklerinin belirlenmesine de ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışmada, O. onites L.’ye ek olarak Origanum sipyleum L., endemik olan Origanum laevigatum Boiss ve Origanum husnucan-baseri h. duman ile aytaç & a. duran türleri, kültür koşullarında yetiştirilerek verim ve kalite özellikleri incelenmiştir. Deneme, 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada, en uzun bitki boyu (121.60 cm) ve en fazla dal sayısı (64.00 adet bitki-1) Origanum sipyleum türünün ikinci yılı değerlerinden elde edilmiştir. Bitki başına yeşil herba verim değerleri ise, 44.00-304.57 g bitki-1 arasında değişim göstermiştir. Uçucu yağ oranı açısından en iyi değer O. husnucan-baseri’den elde edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında incelenen türlerden O. sipyleum uçucu yağı için ana etken madde simen (%70.69); O. laevigatum için β-karyofilen (%27.76), -terpinen (%25.74) ve mirisen (%8.84); O. husnucan-baseri için ise simen (%51.54), -terpinen (%24.73), karvakrol (%6.51) ve timol (%6.20) olarak belirlenmiştir.

Sodyum azid (NaN3) özellikle nokta mutasyon çalışmalarında yoğun olarak kullanılan kimyasal bir mutajendir. Bu çalışmada, Finola altı sıralı arpa çeşidi, kimyasal bir mutajen olan sodyum azid ile muamele edilerek 14 adet mutant arpa hattı elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen hatlar arasındaki genetik farklılık, 5 adet basit tekrarlı diziler arası polimorfizm (Inter Simple Sequence Repeat, ISSR) markörü yardımıyla belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre 5 ISSR marköründen 24 adet bant elde edilmiş ve bu bantlardan 18 adet polimorfik allel belirlenmiş ve ortalama polimorfizm oranı %76.33 olarak saptanmıştır. Ortalama allel sayısı 4.8 olup, 6 bant ile UBC-808 en fazla bant üreten primer olurken, en az bant üreten primerler ise 4’er bant ile UBC-820 ve UBC-825 primerleri olmuştur. Kullanılan markörlere ait ortalama polimorfizm bilgi içeriği (PIC) 0.83 olarak hesaplanmış ve PIC değeri 0.78 ile 0.86 aralığında değişmiştir. Markör verileri dendrogramda 2 ana grup oluşturmuştur. Birinci kümede Fnl-4, Fnl-8, Fnl-10, Fnl-11 ve Fnl-12 mutantları yer alırken, ikinci kümede ise Finola çeşidi ile birlikte diğer mutant hatlar yer almaktadır. Temel bileşenler analizi, Finola çeşidi ve mutant hatlardan Fnl-5, Fnl-13 ve Fnl-14 hatlarının birbirine benzemekle birlikte, bazı alleller bakımından farklı olduklarını ortaya koymuştur.
What Happened to Foreign Direct Investment in the United States?
Authors: Tabova Alexandra
Published: February 2020

This note demonstrates that the slowdown in FDIUS can be explained by two special factors: 1) a handful of corporate restructurings that are purely tax- and regulation-driven and affect the equity portion of direct investment flows, and 2) a reversal in intercompany debt flows that are often the result of corporate tax planning.
The Effectiveness of Using the Tactic-Psychological Aspects of Criminalistic Tactics in the Work of Investigation Authorities' Employees
Authors: Bychkov Artur , Egerev Ivan , Egereva Olesya
Published: February 2020

The authors analyze the use of the psychological aspects of criminalistic tactics in the work of law enforcement employees. The authors identify the causes of their low effectiveness: the insufficient knowledge of investigation authorities’ employees, a psychological attitude and professional deformation. Insufficient knowledge about the use of tactic-psychological aspects of criminalistic tactics is, in its turn, caused by a number of factors. Primarily, they are professional qualities of investigators and detectives: gaps in primary training, lack of enthusiasm for professional development, mental stereotypes. An important factor is the lack of time to study extra material on criminalistics. Some factors are connected with the theory of criminalistics itself. They include the difficulty of searching for recommendations in publications, the generalized character of such recommendations and the difficulty of understanding them. Psychological attitude predetermines both the success and the low effectiveness of using the tactic-psychological techniques during some investigative actions. Negative psychological attitudes that hinder the effective use of psychological aspects in the work of the investigation bodies’ employees include: orientation on prosecution, orientation on the formal character of work, orientation on the non-achievement of the desired result. Their essence is described and the specific characteristics of their negative impact are analyzed. The negative impact that the orientation on prosecution has on the use of the psychological aspects of the investigation bodies’ employees is manifested through the initial confidence of the investigator or detective that the prosecuted person is guilty which, in its turn, makes the objective investigation of the circumstances of the case unnecessary. Orientation on the formal character of work and orientation on the non-achievement of the desired result destroy the tactic-psychological potential of the investigative actions. Professional deformation intensifies negative orientations, establishes a model of rough communication with other people, normalizes unethical and even illegal actions of an investigator or a detective. The analysis of these causes makes it possible to overcome their negative impact on the work of investigators and detectives by developing revised and specified criminalistic recommendations.
Improvement of Social Control as a Direction of Crime Prevention

Changes in the system of public relationships determine the necessity of creating a crime prevention model that would take into consideration the specific features of social interaction in modern conditions. A key element of such a model is social control, whose subjects could be both state and private law enforcement bodies and representatives of civil society. However, there is a diversity in how different researchers understand the essence of social control, and the existing models are somewhat eclectic and not easily adjusted to changes, which could affect their effectiveness. The authors single out three key factors that should be taken into account when choosing the strategy of state policy in the sphere under consideration. The authors also prove that it is necessary to strike a balance between parental control and creating a space for self-development because self-identification and development of personal responsibility for one’s decisions are obligatory factors of socialization. It is noted that the effectiveness of the selected model of crime prevention depends on the integration of all objective and subjective factors that determine delinquent behavior in the system of social control. The transition from the positivist to the post-modernist model of crime counteraction is accompanied by numerous crises and conflicts of mental attitudes, which is typical for any global social transformation. The problems emerging in this connection in the post-Soviet states include the resilient dominance of the paternalist model of the state, the denial of personal social responsibility in exchange for security guaranteed by the state, which leads to a passive attitude of some part of the society and a low level of reflection on one’s place and role in the system of delinquent behavior’s prevention. The authors formulate key tasks of transforming the existing models of social control as directions of crime prevention.
Protection of the Rights and Legitimate Interests of Legal Persons in Criminal Proceedings: a Correlation of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Forensic Aspects

Published: February 2020

The transformation of the status and role of legal persons in modern civil society as one of the consequences of global social and economic reforms of the post-Soviet period brought about a need for strengthening the guarantees of protecting the rights and legitimate interests of legal persons. The guarantees of protecting legal persons against criminal infringements are very important in this case. The lawmakers have done an enormous amount of work in this sphere: the norms of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation contain a considerate number of crimes whose characteristic features are infringements on the rights and legitimate interests of legal persons, while the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation make it possible to recognize not only a physical, but also a legal person as a victim. The authors describe some criminalistically relevant features of subjects who are likely to commit crimes against the property or business reputation of legal persons, depending, among other things, on the existence or absence of official legal relations (civil law, labor) between legal persons and the subjects of crime. As for the extensive scientific discussion on the introduction of the institute of criminal liability of legal persons into Russian criminal legislation, the authors side with the opponents (at least, at the present stage) of such an innovation. At the same time, they stress that it is absolutely necessary to look for the ways to improve the effectiveness of counteracting criminal infringements against legal persons. The authors believe that an effective way to resolve this problem could be the development of a complex methodology of investigating crimes against legal persons. The theoretical and methodological basis of this scientific sphere, its main ideas (its concept) make it possible to identify and systematize general regularities of the mechanism of criminal actions in this sphere; a good understanding of these regularities will help develop a complex of methodical and criminalistic recommendations that meet the requirements of the legal science and the investigation and court practice.

The authors examine the possibilities of the criminological analysis of criminal situation and show the value of using modern information systems to analyze and predict crimes for the improvement of the crime prevention work of internal affairs’ bodies. They study the analytical methods that make crime prevention more productive and the key software used for criminal analysis. The article presents the results of studying the work of criminal analysts in various legal systems (the UK, the USA, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand). It contains the data of an experts’ survey conducted in June 2017. The experts were 100 employees of investigation departments, centers of counteracting extremism, economic security and corruption counteraction, employees of organization and analytical departments of the Chief Directorate of Russian Ministry of the Interior in Moscow and Moscow Region. The analysis of the work of criminal analysts in other countries and the results of the survey of experts from law enforcement bodies are used to determine the prospects of introducing the institute of staff criminologists in the crime prevention system of the Russian Federation, to develop an algorithm of criminological support in Russian internal affairs’ bodies and to outline the prospective spheres of work for staff criminologists (criminal analysts). The authors conclude that the effectiveness of the work of Russian internal affairs’ bodies on the prevention, suppression and detection of crimes could be considerably improved through the introduction of modern means and methods of criminal analysis that are currently actively used by the police of some countries. They present a conceptually new approach to the criminological support of the work of internal affairs’ bodies based on the cumulative analysis of the current legislative base of the Russian Federation, the existing theoretical approaches and the experience of organizing the work of criminal analysts in other countries. The authors express their confidence that quality and professional work of using means and methods of crime prediction could help optimize the use of available resources and authority of law enforcement bodies and, consequently, either reduce the costs of law enforcement or use the available budgets more effectively.
