Authors: Cardoso Rosemary Aparecida , Amaral Alencar De Miranda
Published: December 2020

Tendo como ponto de partida a presença de objetos arqueológicos em três museus recifenses (Centro Cultural Judaico de Pernambuco: Sinagoga Kahal Zur Israel; Instituto Arqueológico, Histórico e Geográfico de Pernambuco; e Museu Militar Forte do Brum), buscamos problematizar a (in)visibilidade desses artefatos em contextos museais, e discutir questões atinentes aos processos de construção de narrativas e significados catalisados por esses objetos. Para tanto, além de descrever a organização expográfica e traçar um perfil dos visitantes destas instituições, analisamos como a religiosidade, história familiar e memória fomentam a “antropofagia” dos artefatos arqueológicos pelo público dos museus. Abstract: Motivated by the presence of archaeological objects in three Recife’s museums (Centro Cultural Judaico de Pernambuco: Sinagoga Kahal Zur Israel; Instituto Arqueológico, Histórico e Geográfico de Pernambuco; e Museu Militar Forte do Brum), we seek to problematize the (in) visibility of these artifacts in contexts museums, and discuss issues related to the processes of construction of narratives and meanings generated by these objects. Therefore, in addition to describing the expographic organization and drawing a profile of visitors to these institutions, we analyze how religiosity, family history and memory foster the “anthropophagy” of archaeological artifacts by museums visitors.
The Impact of Museum Education post Covid-19: an integration of 4IR and Time Travel Method as teaching tools
Authors: Mlambo Lesego Bridget
Published: December 2020

Museum Education has been and continue to be a great support system for the school curriculum. It has a way of connecting with the classroom education even when school curriculum experiences curriculum changes due to seasonal, environmental and political changes. This paper therefore, investigates how museum education is affected by changes of the classroom education visa vee the school curriculum. The main focus of these changes will be around the integration of 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) post the covid-19 in museum education as a response to the school curriculum. The school subject interest that probes between museum education and the school curriculum is around the History and subsequently the Archaeology subjects. The specific school curriculum mention for this paper is based on the South African Department of Education’s (DBE) 2018 Report of the History Ministerial Task Team in particular to the section of including Archaeology as a subject. The rationale behind the interest in this report is that it not only affects the teaching of History in the school classroom but also affects the teaching of History in the relevant South African museums.   Resumo: A Educação em Museus foi e continua a ser um grande sistema de apoio ao currículo escolar. Tendo uma forma de se conectar com a educação em sala de aula, mesmo quando o currículo escolar passa por mudanças curriculares devido a mudanças sazonais, ambientais e políticas. Este artigo, portanto, investiga como a educação em museus é afetada por mudanças no vis-à-vis da educação em sala de aula e no currículo escolar. O foco principal dessas mudanças será em torno da integração da 4ª Revolução Industrial pós covid-19 na educação em museus como uma resposta ao currículo escolar. O interesse pela disciplina escolar que explora temas entre a educação museológica e o currículo escolar gira em torno das disciplinas de História e posteriormente de Arqueologia. A menção do currículo escolar específico para este artigo é baseada no Relatório do Departamento de Educação da África do Sul (DBE) 2018 da Equipe de Tarefa Ministerial de História, em particular para a seção de incluir Arqueologia como um assunto. A justificativa por trás do interesse neste relatório é que ele não afeta apenas o ensino de História na sala de aula escolar, mas também afeta o ensino de História em relevantes museus sul-africanos.

Thus, we bring to discussion some contexts of the city of São Braz do Piauí, located in the Corredor Ecológico that separates the national parks Serra da Capivara and Serra das Confusões. On the scene, the findings of ceramics and lithics are frequent, mainly funerary pottery, made by the population in their homes and public roads. Through a public archeology of the present, we seek to follow the narratives produced about these engagements, admitting the possibilities of relating to the operationalization of other archeologies.
Sanctions Against “Nord Stream – 2”. Economic Consequences
Authors:   Russian Embassy in Germany, Lebedev Alexey
Published: December 2020

Sanctions, being one of the instruments of US economic policy, have turned into a non-market tool for economic and political pressure, promoting America’s own economic interests and unfair competition. Restrictive measures essentially serve purposes that are far from officially declared, and often even the opposite. One of the most striking examples of this approach are the US sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project under the pretext of concern for the energy security of the EU countries and the preservation of gas transit through Ukraine. In fact, the sanctions against Nord Stream 2, which fit into the mainstream of Washington's "containment of Russia" policy, pursue the goal of promoting American shale liquefied gas on the European market. The article observes US efforts to counteract the implementation of the project. It analyzes the US sanction laws and their impact on the pipeline construction process. Based on a comparison of the cost of transporting gas along the bottom of the Baltic Sea with the route through the territory of the Ukraine, the economic effect of the suspension of construction is estimated. The consequences of the project’s failure are also considered.

This article analyzed the rise of far-right political parties and movements in the most developed European countries - Germany, France, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway as well as in the Visegrád Group. The current direction of the political and social development of those major European states shows great resemblance to the 1980s. The political framework is defined by escalating disappointment in social and governmental institutions, growing political fragmentation and increasing complexity of political communications. Under such circumstances radical right parties firmly secured their presence in the national parliaments and enhanced it over the last decade. Alongside their electoral success on the supranational level, it indicates significant alterations in the European political landscape. A new reality is being built while the right radicalism strives to demarginalize itself with its high adaptivity to the essential political institutions. The article analyzed causes and consequences of the ongoing changes. It suggested a new angle to assess the present radical right’s policy effects. Proceeding from the neoinstitutional approach it provided an insight into the key assumptions of radical right, far-right contagion and institutional isomorphism, while outlining the electoral dynamics and distribution of the radical right parties and assembling the concepts of their classification.
USSR and Germany in the context of the events of the 1920s-1930s
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Shveitser Vladimir
Published: December 2020

The article is dedicated to the Soviet-German relations of the 1920s-late 1930s. It explores the key issues that fit into the General context of the European situation of the interwar period. The most important normative acts of those years – the Treaty of Versailles, the Locarno and Rapallo agreements – are studied. The article analyses the core document of Hitlerism – Mein Kampf, its influence on the formation and development of foreign policy doctrines of Nazi Germany. The position of the Soviet Union towards the policy of the Weimar Republic before and after the national socialists rise to power in 1933 is evaluated. In response to the growing revanchist tendencies to solve the problems created by Versailles, the Soviet Union began to search for optimal options in order to create a collective security system in Europe. Special attention is paid to the initial stage of Hitler's aggressive course – the annexation of the Saarland, the militarization of the Rhineland, and the Anschluss of Austria. The appeasement policy of the leading European powers in these matters manifested clearly in the so-called Munich betrayal of September 1938, which opened the way for Hitler to implement his aggressive plans.
The Birth of the Soviet School of European Integration Studies. Part 2
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borko Yuri
Published: December 2020

The first part of the article shows that in the mid-1960s some Soviet researchers of the European integration problems concluded that integration did not correspond to the Leninist-Stalinist theory of the general crisis of capitalism. On the contrary, it corresponded to some Western concepts of the custom union, the common market, and economic integration. A new approach to the European integration studies was offered by the Institute of World Economy and International Relation (IMEMO), established in 1956. For many decades IMEMO was serving as the focal point for the European integration studies, and was providing the Soviet leadership with analytical information. The number of inquiries from authorities increased significantly. Firstly, it can be explained by the achievements of integration. Secondly, it was due to the growth of economic cooperation between the USSR and the EEC. Thirdly, Moscow defined new foreign policy priorities towards Western countries including Europe. There were two turning-points of bilateral relations: with France – in 1966, and with Germany – in 1969. The Organization for security and cooperation in Europe (OSCE) was established during final session of the top-level Conference of European States in Helsinki in August 1975. Fourthly, experience of the EEC was relevant for the COMECON
Visegrad Group in Light of Challenges 2020
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Shishelina Lyubov
Published: December 2020

The year 2020, despite the pandemic and quarantine, saw a wide range of important events of domestic and international significance for the Visegrad countries. Each of them, no matter how different they may seem, fit into an interesting mosaic of the revival of a new Central European identity. The fight against the coronavirus pandemic has revealed the inner core of the Visegrad countries, their understanding of the real hierarchy of priorities, in which no one has abolished the national level. The Visegrad solidarity and mutual support of Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic proved to be a very significant help in defending their rights in Brussels in allocating budget funds to help national economies to overcome the crisis. However, a number of other international developments have shown the flexibility of B4 as a regional factor. The Visegrad group, both from a practical and theoretical point of view, can be considered as a new form of regional European interaction that deserves the attention of other interstate associations for its experience and ability to find answers to current challenges quickly.

In neurons, mitochondria are transported by molecular motors throughout the cell to form and maintain functional neural connections. These organelles have many critical functions in neurons and are of high interest as their dysfunction is associated with disease. While the mechanics and impact of anterograde mitochondrial movement toward axon terminals are beginning to be understood, the frequency and function of retrograde (cell body directed) mitochondrial transport in neurons are still largely unexplored. While existing evidence indicates that some mitochondria are retrogradely transported for degradation in the cell body, the precise impact of disrupting retrograde transport on the organelles and the axon was unknown. Using long-term,in vivoimaging, we examined mitochondrial motility in zebrafish sensory and motor axons. We show that retrograde transport of mitochondria from axon terminals allows replacement of the axon terminal population within a day. By tracking these organelles, we show that not all mitochondria that leave the axon terminal are degraded; rather, they persist over several days. Disrupting retrograde mitochondrial flux in neurons leads to accumulation of aged organelles in axon terminals and loss of cell body mitochondria. Assays of neural circuit activity demonstrated that disrupting mitochondrial transport and function has no effect on sensory axon terminal activity but does negatively impact motor neuron axons. Taken together, our work supports a previously unappreciated role for retrograde mitochondrial transport in the maintenance of a homeostatic distribution of mitochondria in neurons and illustrates the downstream effects of disrupting this process on sensory and motor circuits.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDisrupted mitochondrial transport has been linked to neurodegenerative disease. Retrograde transport of this organelle has been implicated in turnover of aged organelles through lysosomal degradation in the cell body. Consistent with this, we provide evidence that retrograde mitochondrial transport is important for removing aged organelles from axons; however, we show that these organelles are not solely degraded, rather they persist in neurons for days. Disrupting retrograde mitochondrial transport impacts the homeostatic distribution of mitochondria throughout the neuron and the function of motor, but not sensory, axon synapses. Together, our work shows the conserved reliance on retrograde mitochondrial transport for maintaining a healthy mitochondrial pool in neurons and illustrates the disparate effects of disrupting this process on sensory versus motor circuits.
Effects of stator splitter blades on aerodynamic performance of a single-stage transonic axial compressor
Authors: Pham Ky-Quang , Le Xuan-Truong , Dinh Cong-Truong
Published: December 2020

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

Published: December 2020

Over the past century, there has been a dramatic increase in natural fibre composites in which natural fibre has served as reinforcement in polymer. However, the existence of moisture and defects in natural fibres has impacted the mechanical and physical properties of natural fibre polymer composites. The main objective of this study is to fabricate the buri palm fibre reinforced epoxy composite and evaluate the effects of fibre treatment on water absorption and tensile properties. The buri palm fibre were treated by using 5 wt.% NaOH for 24 h and the laminated composite of untreated and treated four-layer and five layer fibres were fabricated via hand lay-up process. The tensile specimens are prepared according to the ASTM D638 standard and the water absorption experiment was conducted by immersing the specimen in distilled water at room temperature until it reached the saturated moisture absorption. The results revealed that the percentage of moisture uptake was reduced to 69% and 95% in treated four-layer and five-layer sequences. It is observed that the thickness swelling of the composite increased with the increase of sequence layering, while the thickness swelling decreased with treated fibre. Alkali treatment affected the properties of buri palm fibre which improved the interfacial bonding between the fibre and epoxy matrix for better tensile properties and reduced water absorption. Finally, morphology examinations were carried out to analyse the fracture behaviour and fibre failure on the tensile test specimen by using microscope analysis.

Published: December 2020

In the PUSPATI TRIGA reactor (RTP), many variables and instruments need to be monitored to make sure it is functioning and running accordingly. The late detection of faults may result in accidents and affect workers’ safety and health. Therefore, an intelligent fault detection system is needed to detect faults in the process plant and alert for any safe point breach. This work was carried out to discover the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) to model and develop a fault detection programme in the RTP cooling system. Using actual data from the reactor to train the multilayer network model with backpropagation algorithm. Referring to the real data from the reactor, the simulation results demonstrate a good correlation between the proposed model using ANN and the real plants with a residual mean of below 1%. The preliminary results for fault detection show that ANN was able to predict the value of failure in residual factor by comparing the normal state and fault state of the plant. The proposed model using ANN method proofed that it could quickly diagnose the single fault and perform for any given failure. The research outcome could contribute to the improvement in frontier technologies and advanced manufacturing in Malaysia.
Substantiation of the parameters of the process of plasma-mechanical milling of titanium alloys and alloyed steels
Authors: Ryazantsev Anton , Nechaev V.P. , Bondar O.V.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the development and scientific substantiation of the method of processing high-strength materials using surface plasma heating. A method for determining the parameters of the plasma-mechanical milling process has been formed, which includes: thermal calculations of the plasma arc power; thermal field characteristics in the part material; determination of residual stresses and hardness of the surface layer of the part. The choice of technological parameters of a plasma heating source is grounded. Criteria are formulated to which the source of plasma heating must correspond. Calculations are performed to determine the dependence of the performance of the milling process on titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with the achievement of a certain microstructure of the part being cut off under the influence of plasma heating. A new scheme of plasma-mechanical milling is proposed, which provides for arc scanning in a magnetic field in the direction of the minute vector filing cutters and additional cyclical movement across the plasma torch feed vector with an amplitude of approximately equal to width milling. The proposed method of plasma heating a cut off layer allows lowering costs of processing time, and solve the problem of shortening ships' construction time.

Published: December 2020

The increasing energy demand and pollution due to fossil fuels influence the necessity of finding a appropriate alternative fuel for a cleaner environment and to sustain the usage of diesel engines in the automobile sector. This research focuses on such exploration of new alternative fuel (biodiesel) and to study its effect on emission and the performance parameters at a 1500 rpm constant speed on a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, variable compression ratio (VCR) diesel engine. The biodiesel from the sesbania aculeate seed oil is produced through the transesterification process.  The blends of sesbania aculeate oil methyl ester (SAOME) with diesel mixture SAOME10, SAOME20, SAOME30, and SAOME40 are used as fuels at various engine loads (20% to 100%) and different compression ratios (CR) (16.5, 17.5 and 18.5). The emission and performance indicators of the proposed biodiesel are analyzed and an evaluation is made with diesel. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that for SAOME20, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) are respectively 12.3% lesser and 8.21% higher than diesel under peak load at CR 18.5. Also the experimental investigation confirms a significant emission decrease in NOX, HC, and CO when there is an increase in CR and load.

Published: December 2020

This book is concerned with model representations theory of linear non- selfadjoint and non-unitary operators, one of booming areas of functional analysis. This area owes its origin to fundamental works by M.S. Livˇsic on the theory of characteristic functions, deep studies of B.S.-Nagy and C. Foias on the dilation theory, and also to the Lax—Phillips scattering theory. A uni- form conceptual approach organically uniting all these research areas in the theory of non-selfadjoint and non-unitary operators is developed in this book. New analytic methods that allow solving some important problems from the theory of spectral representations in this area of analysis are also presented in this book. The book is aimed at the specialists working in this area of analysis and is accessible to senior math students of universities.

Features of deep structure of the Uzon volcano caldera in Kamchatka and the explosive funnel in Yamal
Authors:   Institute of Applied Problems of Ecology, Geophysics and Geochemistry, Kyiv, Yakymchuk M.A. , Korchagin I.M. ,   Institute of Geophysics of the NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv
Published: December 2020

The results of a reconnaissance survey of local zones within the oil site of the Uzon volcano, Bogachevskoye oil field, and site of the explosive crater in Yamal are presented. Experimental studies using the direct-prospecting technology of a frequency-resonance processing and interpretation of satellite images and photographs are carried out to study the features of the deep structures of the survey areas. The results of instrumental measurements indicate that all survey sites are located above volcanoes of sedimentary rocks, within which the synthesis of oil, condensate and gas is almost always carried out at the 57 km border. In the contours of HC-generating volcanoes, there are deep channels through which oil, condensate, and gas migrate to the upper horizons of the cross-section and can replenish the already formed deposits in HC fields. In the absence of reliable seals over such channels, oil, condensate, and gas can migrate to the surface, and gas further enters the atmosphere. Measurements within a relatively large area around the Uzon volcano confirmed the presence of all previously identified types of volcanoes. These are volcanoes filled with: 1) salt; 2) sedimentary rocks of 1-6 groups; 3) limestones; 4) dolomites; 5) marls; 6) siliceous rocks; 7) granites; 8) basalts; 9) ultramafic rocks; 10) kimberlites. Additional evidence obtained by instrumental measurements in favor of the deep (abiogenic) genesis of oil, condensate, and gas is of fundamental importance. Numerous facts of fixing the signals from oil, condensate, and gas at the boundary of their synthesis 57 km within the survey areas and in other regions of the world allow us to state that abiogenic methane is migrating into Earth’s atmosphere in colossal volumes! Local zones of the gas migration into the atmosphere can serve as indicators of the activity of volcanoes in which hydrocarbons are synthesized. In these cases, drilling wells in the areas of the location of deep channels for the migration of abiogenic hydrocarbons to the upper horizons of the cross-section may be associated with great risks — with emergency situations during the drilling.

The U-Pb age of zircon populations from metadacite of the Huliaipole Suite was determined using the LA-ICP-MS method as 3085-2850 and 3700-3360 Ma. In addition, two crystals of zircon were discovered with an age of more than 3800 Ma. According to geological and geochronological data, the Huliaipole Block, 30 × 50 km in size, is composed of rocks and relicts of the Hadean, Archean, and Palaeoproterozoic eons. The oldest nucleus of the Azov Domain was probably formed from 3.97 to 3.3 Ga ago. In the Mesoarchean (3.2-3.0 Ga), it became a part of the Middle Dnieper-Azov-Kursk granite-greenstone terrane. Felsic and intermediate volcanics of the Huliaipole Suite could have formed due to the melting of the sialic crust, including rocks of the Hadean and Archean age, as a result of the underplating of basic melts during the formation of the Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic rift structures.
Peculiarities of sol-gel synthesis of co-modified by nitrogen and metal ions (Zn2+, Zr4+, Pt2+) semiconductive TiO2 films

According to the XPS investigation of titania films co-modified by nitro gen and metal ions obtained via sol-gel method, the formation of common bonds between elements occurs due to the presence of metal ions. The mechanism of urea thermolysis is changed as a result of the ability of metal ions to form the complex compounds with urea molecules under the reported synthesis conditions that, in turn, depends on the nature of metal ions, leading to the different chemical compositions of materials’ surface. The XPS data show that nitrogen atoms are surrounded by nonmetal ones on the surface of the films modi fied by Zn2+ or Zr4+ ions. It is suggested that no formation of the complexes between Ті, Zn, or Zr atoms with urea occurs due to its protonation through an oxygen atom leading to the formation of O,N-containing reaction products. In the case of Pt2+ doping, the substitutional nitrogen incorporation in the titania lattice, as well as the formation of N-containing fragments, have been detected. The chemical nature of Pt ions allows them to interact with urea molecules through an N atom of the amino group. As a result, the transformation of urea molecules in the complexes occurs at higher temperatures concurrently with the titania crystallization that is recognized as a catalyst for the intermediates of the urea decomposition leading to the formation of common bonds between N and Ti atoms.

«Natural Law and Natural Rights» and the Negation of the Objective Priority of Speculative Truth
Authors: Long Steven
Published: December 2020

This essay explores the nature and implications of John Finnis’s express negation in his work Natural Law and Natural Rights of the objective primacy of speculative truth with respect to the derivation of practical reason and agency. The essay observes two senses of the speculative/practical distinction. One sense concerns whether the object known is a contingent matter ordered to an end or whether it concerns a universal, necessary, or eternal truth. The other sense concerns the mode of the knowledge itself: whether its end is simply knowledge, or whether the end is the good of an operation. Because prior to desire and intention all knowledge is speculative in its mode, and this knowledge is absolutely necessary for knowledge that is practical in its mode; and because knowledge that is practical in its mode is absolutely prior to knowledge that is practical merely in that it concerns a practical object – because without knowledge practical in its mode there will never be such knowledge that is practical in its object – it follows that practical reasoning is derivative of knowledge that is speculative in its mode. Implications of Finnis’s error – about teleology, common good, and God – are considered.
El «ius» y la gramática de los derechos en «Natural Law and Natural Rights». Cuestiones problemáticas
Authors: Widow-Lira Felipe
Published: December 2020

La adopción, por parte de Finnis, de la gramática de los derechos tal como había sido propuesta por Hohfeld, y la aspiración de traducir la teoría clásica de la ley natural a este lenguaje moderno, revelan una comprensión del ius divergente de aquella de Tomás de Aquino, en tanto implica la primacía del derecho subjetivo sobre la ipsa res iusta y la consecuente afirmación de los derechos con un carácter abstracto e intrínsecamente ilimitado, de manera que se constituyen como expresión jurídica de la libertad individual.
¿Qué tipo de bien es John Finnis? Un estudio sobre el bien personal y común en «Natural Law and Natural Rights»
Authors: McCall Brian
Published: December 2020

Natural Law and Natural Rights, de John Finnis ha tenido un impacto significativo en el campo de la filosofía del derecho, especialmente en algunos temas concretos. En alguna medida sus tesis recuperaron para el iusnaturalismo la relevancia que estos planteamientos tuvieron, al menos, durante cinco décadas. Sin embargo, dicha recuperación significó algo más que la clásica comprensión de una ley natural inclusiva de la ley positiva y de mayor espectro referencial que ésta. En el discurso académico y popular el enfoque de Finnis, sus colaboradores y discípulos constituye, de hecho, una «nueva» ley natural. En este artículo se analiza el origen y fundamento de la ley natural (la clásica y la «nueva»): en particular, el concepto de «bien» (tanto individual como común) que se asume en Natural Law and Natural Rights. La definición de este concepto y su papel en los preceptos primarios de la ley natural son fundamentales y determinantes de cara a la elaboración y desarrollo de los argumentos subsiguientes. La primera parte destaca la gran contribución del libro en el campo iusfilosófico: la defensa de la objetividad del bien. La segunda explora la comprensión de Finnis del concepto de bien y, en particular, las formas en que reinterpreta o se aparta de Tomás de Aquino y Aristóteles. La tercera parte describe cómo tales diferencias afectan a un ejercicio de comprensión del bien común.
In silico Probing Ca2+ And Zn2+ Permeable Transmembrane 4Aβ1-42 Barrel

Alzheimer’s disease is known as one of the most popular forms of dementia affecting numerous people worldwide. The Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides form to oligomeric conformations that cause the intracellular Ca2+ and Zn2+ abnormality leading to the death of neuron cells. The failure of AD therapy targeting Aβ oligomers probably caused by misunderstanding the ions transport through transmembrane Aβ (tmAβ) ion-like channel since Aβ oligomers transiently exist in a mixture order of Aβ oligomers. The high-resolution of tmAβ peptides are thus unavailable until the date. Fortunately, computational approaches are able to complement the missing experimental structures. The transmembrane 4Aβ1-42 (tm4Aβ1-42) barrel, one of the most neurotoxic elements, was thus predicted in the previous work. Therefore, in this context, the Ca2+/Zn2+ ions transport through the tm4Aβ1-42 barrel was investigated by using the fast pulling of ligand (FPL) and umbrella sampling (US) methods. Good consistent results were obtained implying that Ca2+ ion transport through tm4Aβ1-42 barrel with a lower free energy barrier compared with Zn2+ ion. The obtained results about Ca2+/Zn2+ transport across tmAβ1-42 barrel probably enhances the AD therapy

The subject of the research is economic relations that arise in the process of ensuring economic security with the help of the revenue part of the federal budget. The purpose of this work is to study the impact of Russian budget revenues on economic security. The main research methods are general scientific (analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction method) and special (aggregation method, modeling method, correlation method). The authors conclude that federal budget revenues and economic security have a direct relationship, i.e. by increasing budget revenues, the level of economic security increases. As a result of the study, the structure of federal budget revenues for 14 years was presented, a correlation analysis of the dependence of budget income on various indicators was performed, and the ratio of GDP growth to investment growth and growth of monetary income of the population was considered. Data from the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the Federal State Statistics service were used as the information base for the study. The authors point out that special attention should be paid to internal sources of budget funding. One of the mechanisms for increasing federal budget revenues is the use of digital technologies in the budget process.

The globalization of innovation collaboration provides an opportunity for the most successful innovators to scale their businesses by leveraging the potential of new markets, supplanting less successful innovators that previously existed in those markets. At the same time, niche national leaders of the innovation process have competitive advantages to maintain their positions in the global market. Changes in the scale of economic activity have a direct impact on the performance indicators of all participants in the economic process, which determines the relevance of this study. By increasing the potential for innovation, the use of innovation activates the process of national companies entering the world market of high-tech products. The authors consider the obstacles to the competitive promotion of domestic innovations in the global market: a high degree of monopolization of Russian economy, high entry barriers to the market, which reduces the quality of innovation activities of large enterprises and limits the flow of financial resources into innovation processes at the level of small and medium-sized businesses. Along with this, todays Russian innovator is under severe pressure from the collective West, which, combined with the lack of its own technological base for full-cycle innovative production, can be viewed as a critical obstacle to the uninterrupted promotion of domestic innovations in the global market. The article examines the main existing and potential competitive advantages of Russian innovative business relevant from the point of view of ensuring its functioning in the system of global value chains in the innovation sphere.

Published: December 2020

The importance of the material and technical base and financial resources for the development of the Russian health care system has been established. The availability of qualified specialists, doctors and nurses, plays a key role for the functioning of the industry. Training of personnel and provision of medical institutions with medical personnel at the level of regulatory requirements are among the main tasks of health development. The systematic approach, methods of induction and deduction, expert assessments in the study of the problems of staffing of healthcare organizations are applied. Features of the federal structure and spatial development of modern Russia are the methodological basis of the study. The performed analysis of the current situation in the health care sector and the nature of the accumulated problems are substantiated by statistical information. The factors significantly influencing the provision of medical services have been identified. Insufficient level of provision of doctors and nurses in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has been established. The compliance with the conditions of appropriate quality and the required volume of medical services as a necessary basis for the work of medical organizations are determined. The reasons and trends in the change in the levels of employment and unemployment in the regions of Russia are considered. The features of internal migration between federal districts are disclosed. The results of the functioning of medical organizations and the state of health care as a branch of the social sphere are analyzed. The influence of factors of employment, unemployment, internal migration on the activities of healthcare organizations was taken into account when developing recommendations. Proposals for resolving acute issues in human resources management have been formulated. The use of long-term planning tools as a necessary condition for the development of the healthcare industry is justified. The key role of training and retraining activities has been identified. Recommendations for correcting deficiencies and improving the work with medical personnel have been formulated. The results of the study for application in activities to improve the organization and management of health development at the subnational level are confirmed. Suggestions for practical application are made.
A Mix of Motives
Authors: Rosenfeld Sam , Schwartz Nancy
Published: December 2020

Scholarly debates over the nature of political parties and the identity of their principal actors have been hampered by relative inattention to the historical processes of internal party change. This study, drawing on archival sources, interviews, and one of the co-author’s personal experiences, analyzes the Georgia delegate challenge to the 1968 Democratic Convention as a case of internal party conflict generating lasting institutional reform, with implications for existing theories of party development, nominating politics, and democratic representation. In a convention marked by an unusually large number of challenges to state party delegations, the Georgia delegate challenge was unique. There, a conflict between the segregationist regulars and the moderate and liberal Democrats was complicated by an internal division in the latter camp between Hubert Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy supporters. The McCarthy forces’ success in garnering a dominant position within the challenge delegation alienated many of the Georgia movement’s organizers and leaders. The McCarthy campaign's takeover also linked this southern challenge both to the antiwar politics coloring the national nomination fight and to a particular conception of representation that would influence subsequent party reform efforts. In tracing the origins, dynamics, and aftermath of Georgia’s delegate challenge, we show both that group- and candidate-driven efforts together shape party development over time, and that normative ideas concerning representation can play causal roles in party development.
