OUTLIER-ROBUST KERNEL HIERARCHICAL-OPTIMIZATION RLS ON A BUDGET WITH AFFINE CONSTRAINTS
Authors: Slavakis Konstantinos , Yukawa Masahiro
Published: November 2020

This paper introduces a non-parametric learning framework to combat outliers in online, multi-output, and nonlinear regression tasks. A hierarchical-optimization problem underpins the learning task: Search in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) for a function that minimizes a sample average $\ell_p$-norm ($1 \leq p \leq 2$) error loss on data contaminated by noise and outliers, subject to side information that takes the form of affine constraints defined as the set of minimizers of a quadratic loss on a finite number of faithful data devoid of noise and outliers. To surmount the computational obstacles inflicted by the choice of loss and the potentially infinite dimensional RKHS, approximations of the $\ell_p$-norm loss, as well as a novel twist of the criterion of approximate linear dependency are devised to keep the computational-complexity footprint of the proposed algorithm bounded over time. Numerical tests on datasets showcase the robust behavior of the advocated framework against different types of outliers, under a low computational load, while satisfying at the same time the affine constraints, in contrast to the state-of-the-art methods which are constraint agnostic.

Treatment secondary hyperparathyroidoidism in a patient receiving hemodialysis with combination therapy – paricalcitol and cinacalcet
Authors: Egshatyan L. V.
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on renal replacement therapy with programmed hemodialysis. The pathogenesis of VHPT is based on vitamin D deficiency and the associated launch of a cascade of complications of mineral metabolism, which subsequently leads to significant changes in the morphology and density of bone tissue, as well as cardiovascular complications. According to the main clinical guidelines, the goals of treating IHPT in patients with CKD are aimed at preventing the progression of the disease and suppressing the activity of the parathyroid glands by modulating vitamin D receptors and calcium-sensitive receptors. Maintaining the level of parathyroid hormone within the target values improves the quality of life of patients, reduces the incidence of cardiovascular and bone complications. The article presents the result of our own clinical observation on the correction of alfacalcidol-resistant IHPT with hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in a patient on programmed hemodialysis using a combination therapy with a calcimimetic – cinacalcet, colecalciferol and a selective activator of vitamin D receptors – paricalcitol. On the example of a clinical case, the compensation of IHPT, an improvement in the condition of the altered parathyroid glands, bone tissue without the risk of developing hypo-, hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia during long-term treatment was demonstrated.

Oil palm plantations produce fresh fruit bunches (FFB) as their primary output. Over the years, several technologies for cutting oil palm fronds and FFB have been developed and only a few of these technologies have been taken up by the industry. A study to explore the potential of fibre lasers as an alternative technology to cut oil palm fronds has been initiated where in this study laser cutting parameters using a 250 mm focus lens by manipulating power, speed and frequency are being optimised. The pulse fibre laser system used in this work operates at the wavelength and power of 1064 nm and 50 kW respectively where it is equivalent to 2 mJ of energy. Characterising and optimising the laser system with the 250 mm lens, an optimisation study is conducted in order to find a suitable working range for the fibre pulsed laser system to perform oil palm frond cutting. This study concludes that all three parameters; frequency, power and speed play huge roles in determining the quality and efficiency of the laser cutting. High frequency and speed with power above 80 % and 1 mm-1 will yield the desired results.
Carcinogenic effects of N-nitroso compounds in the environment
Authors: Jain Divya , Chaudhary Priya , Varshney Nidhi , Janmeda Pracheta
Published: November 2020

N-nitroso compounds (NOC) are produced by the acid catalyzed reaction of nitrite with certain nitrogen compounds. The gastrointestinal tract (GI) is the main site for the formation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Bacteria present on the GI tract surface reduced the dietary nitrate or nitrite into Nitric oxide NO and other related compounds. The clinical sign of NOC carcinogenicity varies according to species, dose, and route of administration. Humans are exposed to preformed N-nitroso compounds and endogenous NOC via the environmental food chain. Several NOC are potential human carcinogens, including DENA and NDMA, but evidence from population studies is inconsistent.
Influence of potassium on the productivity and quality of potato: A Review
Authors: Singh Amanpreet , Singh Chahal Harmandeep , Singh Chinna Gurbax , Singh Ranvir
Published: November 2020

Potato ranks one of the most important food crops after rice, wheat, and other field crops. A healthy potato crop removes about 1.7 to 2.3 quintals of potassium ha-1, illustrating that the potassium requirement for potatoes is much higher than that of grains. Being a shallow root crop, the effectiveness of using potassium fertilizers on potatoes varies from 50 to 60 percent. Potassium nutrition plays an important role in increasing the potato yield, either due to the formation of large tubers or the increase in the number of tubers per plant. Among the integrated nutrient management in potatoes, farmyard manure improves the absorption and availability of potassium for potato plants. Potassium protects against frost and drought stress in plants and reduces the incidence of diseases or pests. Potassium availability also decreases the concentration of reducing sugar and improves the colour and quality of potato chips. Potassium sulfate improves potato quality better than sources of potassium chloride.

Meteorological extremes and floods in the Czech Republic - the natural trend or an impact of the global warming?
Authors: Brázdil Rudolf
Published: November 2020

Meteorological extremes and floods cause every year considerable material damage and losses of human lives. The article summarises the present state of the study of this topic in the Czech Republic. It defines the concept of meteorological extremes and discusses problems of the starting data. The fluctuation of extreme daily precipitation totals, drought, floods and strong winds is illustrated on several examples. The results indicate the ambiguity of the observed trends in connection with the process of the global warming, which, according to the present ideas, should cause the increase in frequencies and intensity of many extremes. The importance of historical-climatological data is stressed for extending the information about meteorological extremes and floods to the period before the beginning of systematic observations. The problem of impacts of meteorological extremes is discussed as well as measures aiming at the minimalization of material damage and victims.

Studies on the differences in the morphological characteristics of freestyle wrestlers belonging to related ethnic groups from South Siberia and Central Asia have not been previously conducted. This research aimed to perform a comparative analysis of the anthropometric and functional characteristics of freestyle wrestlers from two mono-ethnic samples: the Altaians and the Mongols. A total of 99 freestyle wrestlers were examined (mean age 25.0 ± 2.6 years). The anthropometric survey included measuring longitudinal (body length and length of segments), transverse (shoulder and pelvis width, transverse and sagittal diameters of the chest), circumferential (trunk and limb circumference) parameters, as well as body weight and skinfold thickness on the trunk and limbs. Body composition was determined by multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (ABC-02 MEDASS, Russia). During the stratification of athletes by the total body measures (weight and height), we identified anthropometric differences that can be either interethnic or those formed under the influence of targeted selection. The comparative analysis of anthropometric features of the longitudinal and transverse development of the skeleton allows us to suggest that the high values of the transverse diameter of the chest as well as relatively long legs and short arms typical of the Altaians are preserved by sports selection and are manifested in a wide range of height and weight values. The greatest variability is characteristic of the body’s fat component. Within the normal body length/weight ratio (body mass index ranging between 22.0 and 24.9 kg/m2), Altaian athletes showed greater fat mass but lower level of subcutaneous fat deposition compared to Mongolian wrestlers with the same body weight.
The Zebra granitic pegmatite, San Luis, Argentina
Authors: Galliski Miguel Ángel , Martin Robert F. , Márquez-Zavalía María Florencia
Published: November 2020

We describe an unusual example of rhythmically layered peraluminous granitic pegmatite locally developed in the intragranitic Potrerillos NYF pegmatites derived from the A-type host granites of the Las Chacras–Potrerillos batholith, Sierra de San Luis, Argentina. The strikingly rhythmic layers in the Zebra pegmatite consist of units of albite–K-feldspar–quartz–K-feldspar–albite, with accessory tourmaline and minor muscovite. The layers crystallized from a boron-bearing melt ponded and thermally insulated in the intermediate zone. A layer of low albite 1–2 cm thick was followed by coarser-grained K-feldspar, then well-ordered microcline, which gives way to quartz grains, also coarser-grained, in optical continuity. Zoned prismatic crystals of schorl nucleated in the feldspathic layer in random orientation. Muscovite is scarce. The rock has a granitic composition enriched in Rb, Cs, and B, and is depleted in the rare-earth elements compared to its precursor. We contend that the normative composition, 35.3% Or, 38.1% Ab, and 21.3% Q, was close to the eutectic in the granite system modified by dissolved H2O, F, and B, at a P(H2O) close to 3.5 kbar and a temperature in the range 575–600 °C. Repeated incursions from the field of Ab + Or to the field of quartz and back again as the melt was producing bubbles of H2O can account for the rhythmic crystallization and the local truncation or merging of the feldspathic layers. Occasional larger crystals of K-feldspar may have become detached from the wall or roof of the chamber.

Published: November 2020

One of the biggest obstacles to organic maize cultivation is weed management. The aim of this work was to evaluate the mowing and weeding in the control of densities of Ipomoea triloba (morning glory) in competition with maize. The experiment was installed in a completely randomized design, with four replications, in the factorial scheme 3 x 3 + 1. The first factor was constituted by three densities of the species I. triloba and the second by three weed management. The additional treatment consisted in the cultivation of maize free from I. triloba interference. The mowing done in the V4 stage of maize did not minimize the competition of I. triloba. Weeding was more efficient for control at higher densities. The I. tribola showed regrowth and despite accumulating reduced dry mass, it was more efficient in the uptake of N, P, K, and Mg in relation to the uncropped plants.

UDC 517.5Two meromorphic functions are said to share a set ignoring multiplicities (IM) if has the same pre-images under both functions. If any two nonconstant meromorphic functions, sharing a set IM, are identical, then the set is called a “reduced unique range set for meromorphic functions'' (in short, RURSM or URSM-IM).
From the existing literature, it is known that there exists a RURSM with seventeen elements. In this article, we reduced the cardinality of an existing RURSM and established that there exists a RURSM with fifteen elements. Our result gives an affirmative answer to the question of L. Z.

This study aims to determine the effect of Moringa Oleifera plus Royal Jelly leaf extract supplements on stress levels and cortisol levels in anemic pregnant women. This study was a true experimental study with a controlled randomized double blind pretest-post test design. The subjects of this study were 44 pregnant women with anemia, taken based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into two groups, namely the group given moringa capsules (n = 22) and moringa capsules plus royal jelly (n = 22). Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, Paired T-Test, Wilcoxon and Independent T-Test using SPSS. The result of the study shows a significant decrease in the stress level in the royal jelly moringa group from 29.23 ± 10.451 to 17.00 ± 6.325 with a value of P = 0.000 and in the moringa group from 23.59 ± 8.110 to 18.05 ± 4.498 with a value of P = 0.022. Likewise, the cortisol levels decreased significantly in the moringa royal jelly group from 41.17 ± 18.466 to 28.75 ± 15.024 with a P value = 0.002 and the moringa group from 34.54 ± 21.437 to 24.70 ± 18.218 with a P value = 0.009. However, the difference in the magnitude of change did not differ significantly for stress levels and cortisol levels (P> 0.05). It is concluded that the reduction in stress and changes in royal jelly moringa tends to be greater than that of moringa.

This article addresses the development of an integrated approach to assessing the effectiveness of state projects for all types of accessibility (physical, transport, time, information) of environment for the disabled in all directions from the point of view of citizens (rendering state and municipal services and vital activity, categories of disability). The work presents theoretical foundations of the concepts “efficiency of state projects”, “accessible environment”; the analysis of theoretical approaches to the evaluation of state projects' effectiveness; the practice of implementing state projects on an accessible environment in the Perm region; the efficiency indicators of the realized state projects of an accessible environment for low-mobility groups in the Perm region; problems of assessing the success of state projects; the integrated approach to assessing the effectiveness of state projects; the comparative analysis of the evaluation of state projects implementation by public authorities on the one hand, and organizations of the disabled, on the other. Drawing on the results of the analysis, we may conclude that there are significant differences in evaluating the implementation of state accessibility projects due to functional and organizational reasons. The authors have developed the directions of improving the organization of an accessible environment for low-mobility citizens, such as provision of direct interaction between public organizations of the disabled and public authorities, development of a unified construction concept of accessibility formation, improving the mechanisms for conducting inspections, monitoring and regulatory and legal frameworks in the field of accessibility of the environment.
Impact of Stock Payment on M&A Performance in High Information Asymmetry
Authors: Grigorieva Svetlana , Kolmykova Tatyana
Published: November 2020

The choice of stock as a method of payment in M&A deals is usually considered by researchers as a signal of acquirer’s stock overvaluation that is proved by its negative impact on M&A performance. However, this view doesn’t take into account information asymmetry faced by the acquirer. The choice of stock payment may be used by the acquirer as a mechanism to reduce risks caused by information asymmetry, and thereby send a positive signal to the market. In this paper, drawing on evidence from 713 and 468 cross-border M&As, initiated by companies from US and BRIC respectively, over 2002-2017, we show that stock payment may be beneficial when target firm is a high-tech company and when the cultural distance between acquirers and targets is large. For M&As, initiated by US firms, stock payment may be also beneficial in deals with private targets, and for acquirers from BRIC - in deals with targets located in a weaker political environment.
Working Capital Policy for Wholesale Trade Companies
Authors: Makarova Svetlana , Ermakova Elena
Published: November 2020

This article contains a new approach to working capital management which influences significantly the profitability and liquidity of companies. The impact of working capital management on financial results is regarded mostly theoretically in Russian literature, while in numerous foreign articles empirical results are controversial. The article presents the empirical research on the basis of 8890 Russian wholesale trade companies over the period of 2014- 2018, which reveals a non-linear relation between the profitability and cash conversion cycle. Similar relation is also revealed for 2290 Russian retail companies, 2320 Russian metal production companies and 1760 construction companies. As a result, we proved the existence of such a cash conversion cycle which provides maximum profitability for different economic sectors. This cash conversion cycle equals 19 days for wholesale trade, 9 days for retail trade, 38 days for construction and 43 for metal production. Moreover, the formula of cash conversion cycle is modified to show how the desired cash conversion cycle may be achieved. This formula demonstrates a strong impact of working capital policy on cash conversion cycle and proves the importance of coherent working capital policy. The results may be useful in the working capital management to provide an increase in profitability combined with maintenance of chosen liquidity level.

Authors: Zolotareva Vera , Emelyanova Olesya
Published: November 2020

The article presents the author’s classification of the “catching-up modernization” models typical for Russia and Japan at the initial stage of acceleration of industrial development. The common features of the “state-national” model (Japan) and the “least resistance” model (Russia) are identified and characterized, and their comparative analysis is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the country features that have had a huge impact on the formation of national types of “catch-up modernization” model and their practical implementation. The role of the state, traditionally strong in Russia and Japan, is noted, and its change in the process of “catching up modernization” is traced. The degree of influence of endogenous and exogenous factors on the implementation of large-scale transformation of Russian and Japanese economic systems is analyzed. It is concluded that the development of national economies of the countries under consideration was a natural result and reflection of their types of the model of “catching-up modernization”.
BEHAVIORAL ASPECTS OF REGULATOR DECISIONS
Authors: Pavlova Natalia
Published: November 2020

The findings of many behavioral economics studies have led many experts to share the view that the effects of limited rationality can be solved through the proper development of the menu options available to the consumer. The devising of such a menu rests on the shoulders of regulators. However, the question arises as to how regulators themselves, in turn, are limitedly rational, and how much they are motivated to provide an optimal menu of contracts that ensures maximum social welfare, given that designing such a menu is costly. This paper systematizes the main manifestations of limited rationality which can influence decision-making by regulators. An attempt is made to answer two questions: is there a need and possibility to take into account the limited rationality of civil servants in modeling the actions of the regulator and are special practical measures required to correct for the identified effects.
METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE OF BUDDHISM AS AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH IN MODERN ECONOMIC THEORY
Authors: Pokaninova Daria
Published: November 2020

The article discusses the provisions of Buddhist economics as an alternative approach in modern economic theory. These provisions are derived from the basic doctrines of Buddhism such as the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The article also contains a comparison of Buddhist economics and neoclassical economics, which leads to the conclusion that Buddhist economics pays more attention to the issues of limited resources, accounting for non-economic factors of economic behavior, improving the welfare of society and externalities. These factors are relevant for the modern economics and are also considered by representatives of other alternative theories.
The theory of Emotional Intelligence as the Basis of Risk Management
Authors: Pyatakova Ksenia
Published: November 2020

Regardless of the type and size of the organization, they are confronted with both external and internal factors as well as impacts which create uncertainty in regards to achieving certain goals. The risk management of the company is determined by both how well risks are perceived and the intra-organizational interaction of workers under the influence of cultural values that may affect perceptions and attitudes towards risk management. Being an important element of the corporate governance system of any company, effective risk management allows for the acceleration of the decision-making process. The growth of competition during the unstable economic situation in the world takes a special character, which forces the company to look for new opportunities to optimize the risk management process and to offer its own ways of improving the performance of the company. Emotional intelligence can become a promising tool for developing a risk culture, primarily in those areas of business where the human factor plays a great role. The application of international standards and best practices in light of emotional intelligence will increase the company's stability in the market and achieve its goals.
SOCIAL-DEMOGRAFICANDCULTURALDIVERSITYINTHE WORKFORCE: RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Ivanova Olga
Published: November 2020

Social-demographic and cultural diversityis an important trend in the modern labor market and has a significant impact on social and labor relations within heterogeneous groups. The research in this area has ambiguous results. Positive effects (opportunities) are associated with a diversity of knowledge, perspectives and approaches to problem-solving within the group, which stimulates creativity and creates a favorable environment for innovation. Negative effects (risks) arise as a result of segregation in the labor market, as a backfire to anti-discrimination measures, and as a result of intra-group conflicts that reduce the group performance and satisfaction with teamwork. Diversity can exist not only on the interpersonal (intra-group) level, but also on the intrapersonal level. Intrapersonal diversity that results from diverse life and professional experience contributes to the accumulation of human and social capital, boosts creativity, and helps individuals to interact effectively with other members of the working group.

Published: November 2020

Despite the long-term economic and environmental benefits of introducing renewable energy sources (RES), they are associated with many obstacles, one of which is hindered access to finance. This article examines the impact of the level of financial development on the renewable energy industry. An econometric analysis of data for 270 countries for 1987–2016 revealed a significant positive effect of various indicators of the development of the financial sector on the total production of renewable energy sources. In particular, the important role of the size of the banking industry and the size of the private lending sector has been revealed. It also revealed a significant impact of the level of financial development on wind, solar and tidal energy, and this effect is different in developed and developing countries. This work is a logical continuation of other works on this topic. There has never been an assessment of the use of renewable energy for such a large number of countries. Significant results were obtained for various indicators of the development of the financial sector. We were able to assess the difference in the use of renewable energy sources for developed and developing countries.

This research examines nuclear power in the context of sustainable development and assesses the relationship between the structure of energy production in the country and its environmental status. In the article the authors consider the technological and organizational aspects of the nuclear industry, which justify the prospects of this direction. Nuclear power has a low share of fuel costs in the structure of production cost in comparison to other energy sources, as well as a high capacity factor. Investment programs of developing countries include the construction of new nuclear power plants, and investment programs of developed countries include the construction of new ones or modernization of existing ones. According to the created model, the increase in the share of nuclear power in the structure of electricity production has a significant impact on reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Published: November 2020

The issue of the intensity of digitalization in various economic sectors causes the increasing scientific interest among economists and government officials. A correct assessment of the impact of the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, on complexes markets is an important task for understanding the process and its impact on the country’s economy. In this paper, a version of a theoretical model is proposed that demonstrates the presence of cyclical and non-cyclical connections between the markets. As a tool of illustration, graph theory was used, which is the main way of game theory for demonstration the rational behavior of participants-players.  The companion idea of current work is the fundamental question of economic theory, which is expressed in the existence of the dominate role of the firm in markets with technological link, which may be cyclical or non-cyclical. The example of the cyclic linkage of the markets may be the interaction between markets of a software and OS, while example markets prone digitalization may be high processing industry.
