Aspect ratio as a factor predicting rupture of cerebral aneurysms
Authors:   Saratov State University, Ivanov Dmitriy , Dol Aleksandr , Kossovich Leonid
Published: January 2024

Cerebral vascular aneurysms are abnormalities present in 2–5% of the population. Aneurysm rupture often leads to the development of a hemorrhagic stroke. Among its consequences are disability and death. Despite this, preventive surgical treatment of aneurysms is not always justified, since it leads to serious postoperative complications. In this regard, there is the problem of developing and justifying reliable and convenient criteria for assessing the risk of aneurysm rupture. Aspect ratio (the ratio of the height of the aneurysm to the diameter of the neck) is the relative size of the aneurysms used to classify them as prone to rupture and not prone to rupture. This characteristic is also used as predictor of aneurysm rupture. In this paper, we carried out a series of numerical biomechanical calculations aimed at substantiating the critical value of the aspect ratio characterizing aneurysms prone to rupture. In the simulation, the average shear stresses on the aneurysm wall were compared for different aspect ratios from 0.5 to 2.25 with a step of 0.25 for asymmetric models and for aspect ratios from 0.5 to 2.1 with a step of 0.2 for symmetrical models. It was revealed that average wall shear stresses on the aneurysm significantly decrease when the aspect ratio is greater than critical. An abrupt decrease in the average wall shear stresses on the aneurysm with aspect ratio greater than the critical value was revealed.
Financial management in fee-paying public schools in South Africa: How responsible is the school governing body?
Authors: Aina A , du Plessis A
Published: January 2024

The South African Schools Act, No. 84 of 1996, stipulates how schools should manage and involve stakeholders in financial management. The literature suggests that stakeholders at non-fee-paying schools in the township and rural areas do not play a dominant role in their schools’ financial management decision-making processes, which is contrary to the dictates of the South African Schools Act. However, in the study on which this article is based, we focused on the financial management decision-making processes in fee-paying public schools. We followed a qualitative research approach with a multiple case study design. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and document analysis, and were analysed thematically. The findings reveal that members of school governing bodies in Quintile 5 fee-paying public primary schools were educated professionals who, as required by the South African Schools Act, exerted a strong influence on the financial management responsibilities in their schools.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF SECONDARY FLOW DURING THE DROPLET FORMATION IN THE FLOW-FOCUSING CHANNEL
Authors: Maurya Tara Chand Kumar , Dutta Sushanta
Published: January 2024

In this study, we have investigated the complex dynamics of droplet formation in a flow-focusing channel. Experiment has been performed under micro-particle image velocimetry (μPIV). The growth of droplets has been observed at four stages: lagging, filling, necking, and detachment. The interaction of two immiscible fluids, de-aerated water and silicon oil, is used. Characteristics of the droplet thread have been analyzed. Length of dispersed thread and tip size decrease with increased flow rate ratio. Furthermore, the flow characteristics of the dispersed phase, the velocity fields, contour plots of vorticity (ωz) swirl strength (λ1), and circulation strength (Ð/UdW) have been investigated. Vortex flow region is identified during the droplet formation in such flow conditions (Re ~ 1 and Ca < 0.01). The vortex flow region shrinks with increasing flow rate ratio. Our experimental methodology and results have illustrated the presence of a temporal vortex pair during droplet formation in dispersed phase, a phenomenon with potential to amplify the chaotic mixing of multiphase fluids in a microchannel.

A Field Guide to Monetary Policy Implementation Issues in a New World with CBDC, Stablecoin, and Narrow Banks
Authors: Clouse James A.
Published: January 2024

This paper develops an analytical framework aimed at shedding light on the implications of the evolution of financial market structure for monetary policy implementation and transmission. The basic model builds on that developed in Chen et. al. (2014) which, in turn, draws inspiration from the pioneering work of Tobin (1969) and Gurley and Shaw (1960). The paper focuses, in particular, on the implications of introducing new types of fixed-rate financial assets in the financial system including retail and wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC), stablecoins issued by narrow nonbanks, and deposits issued by narrow banks. The analysis also provides a crude way of capturing some of the effects of bank capital and liquidity regulation on financial intermediation and monetary policy implementation. Perhaps the most important conclusion is that the introduction of new fixed-rate assets by the Federal Reserve or by other financial intermediaries can have significant effects on equilibrium interest rates and patterns of financial intermediation and may also affect the potency of monetary policy tools. These effects are most pronounced when new financial assets are close substitutes for existing financial assets.
Management Issues of Russian Standardization System Compared to Foreign Countries Experience
Authors: Leontiev Pavel , Koroleva Irina
Published: January 2024

An effective standardization system is currently being formed in Russia. Its disparity and lagging behind the advanced economies largely predetermined the difficulties experienced by domestic enterprises in the conditions of modern competition not only in foreign markets, but also in domestic ones. The purpose of this research implies the foreign experience study in order to identify modern management problems of the Russian standardization system. The unresolved nature of those problems reduces the effectiveness of the standardization system in the country and causes poor quality of domestic products and non-competitiveness of Russian business in many industries. The research methodology is based on the theoretical analysis of modern international standardization management systems in Europe, the USA and Japan. The scientific novelty comprises of the author's conceptual approach to the description of modern international standardization management systems in Europe, the USA and Japan compared to the standardization management system in Russia, which allowed to identify and evaluate the main problems. The research showed that the major issues of the domestic standardization management system are the following: the low quality level of technical regulations system and standards in the country as well as the lack of proper understanding of standardization importance by the authorities. Therefore, the majority of entrepreneurs, who primarily do business in the domestic market, is not interested in improving the standardization system and complying it with the necessary requirements and recommendations. These issues can be solved with the help of individual understanding how to form Russian effective standardization model without copying the standardization systems of developed economies.
Formation and Development of Elements of Legal Personification in the Russian Constitutional Legislation
Authors: Minnikes Ilia
Published: January 2024

In Russian jurisprudence, certain approaches to the study of the problem of legal personification have emerged in public and private law. The prerequisites for this phenomenon are laid by the legislator at the level of regulatory legal regulation. The grounds for legal personification are the individual characteristics of the subject or the characteristic features of a specific situation requiring legal resolution. The international legal and national levels of legal personification are clearly distinguished. At the international legal level, only the main trends of legal personification are indicated. At the level of national legislation, primarily constitutional, its main criteria are formulated and normatively fixed, which is being developed in other branches of legislation. In addition, the criteria of personification can be divided into material (which the subject possesses independently of the will of the legislator) and formal (which the legislator establishes). To understand the current state of legal personification at the national constitutional level, it is methodologically justified to trace the historical formation of the criteria of legal personification. From which it can be concluded that the criteria of legal personification are developed in the constitutional acts of the state and correspond to the historical stages of the development of the state, while elements of continuity are clearly observed. The Constitution of each sovereign State reflects its national identity, but at the same time, the general trends of legal personification remain.

Authors: Gribunov Oleg , Usachev Sergey
Published: January 2024

The auto insurance market today is far from perfect and has many options to obtain material benefits in an illegal way. The insurance industry, of course, is a significant part of the state's financial industry, while it is obvious that its development is inextricably linked with the national and global context and today has a number of unresolved problems. These circumstances give rise to the development, as well as further improvement of fraudulent activities both on the part of policyholders and clients of insurance companies, and on the part of individuals acting on behalf of policyholders/clients. The fight against these crimes should be carried out at a high level, be comprehensive and clearly fit into the framework of modern reality. One of the measures to improve the quality of the investigation of these crimes is to involve specialists in investigative actions. The purpose of this study is to consider the features of the participation of a specialist in a search, seizure, examination of objects and documents. The object of the study is the judicial and investigative practice related to the disclosure, investigation, and prevention of fraud in the field of auto insurance. The study revealed that it is important to use expertise in detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud in the auto insurance sector. In particular, the quality of investigation, seizure, and examination of objects and documents is largely determined by the involvement of insurance specialists.

Authors: Poletaeva Ekaterina , Samsonova Elizaveta
Published: January 2024

The development of digitalization contributes to an increase in the efficiency of the use of information technologies. New technical devices and programs emerge. Digital transformation contributes to the emergence and development of previously unknown public relations that require legal regulation.
Virtual communication is becoming an integral part of everyday life. People communicate using various social networks online. Unfortunately, legal acts are not always able to regulate newly formed relations, especially in the field of information technology, and therefore, this gap is eliminated with the help of local regulation of relations. The relevance of the work is explained by the lack of understanding of the legal nature of relations arising from the use of information resources among users of programs, websites, other software products and information platforms. The purpose of this work is to study in detail the user agreement presented by the VK social network as a contract. The authors examined separate provisions of the user agreement, conditions, and procedures. As a result, the researchers determined the type of the user agreement as well as the legal characteristics of the user agreement as a contract for the provision of services for a fee. The conclusion is made about the signing the user agreement through silence.

Authors: Abgaldaev Vladimir , Bubnov Vyacheslav
Published: January 2024

The economic crisis of 1998 in Russia is still the object of active study by many scientists economists. Financial regulators represented by the Government of Russia, the Central Bank pursued a hasty, inconsistent and ill-conceived monetary policy in the country, sometimes developing into simple speculative operations in the securities market both domestically and abroad. The article describes the methods of statistical and deductive analysis in the study of the Russian financial crisis of 1998, studies the causes of its occurrence, the attempt to determine the mutual influence and relationship of events in the US securities markets and oil markets in developing countries in Southeast Asia with the economic crisis in Russia that influenced in general, to the destabilization of its economy and the weakening of the national currency is made. Therefore, in our opinion, it is necessary to synthesize the mutual influence and interconnection of the Russian crisis of 1998 with the fall in oil prices in Southeast Asian countries and the activities of US hedge companies in order to identify the true causes of the crisis in order to really present its systemic nature. If to pin hopes only on hedge companies as risk insurance entities, this can lead to an increase in the latter.
Features of Disclosure of Information about Assets of Public Administration Sectors in the Balance Sheet
Authors: Arbatskaya Tatyana
Published: January 2024

The article presents the development of the accounting of the public sector during the budget reform implemented in Russia in the late XXth — early XXIst centuries. The study showed a close relationship between the information request of users and the content of public sector accounting statements. It is found that the modern content of the balance sheet — one of the most important reporting forms is a consequence of changing approaches to the management of state (municipal) finances and objects of state (municipal) ownership, as well as the information needs of key users of reporting information. The article reveals the features of the first system — forming element of the balance sheet — an asset, and the criteria for assigning objects of public sector entities to assets. The analysis of federal accounting standards of public finance and other regulatory legal acts allowed us to systematize the requirements for the valuation of assets in the balance sheet. It is concluded that the expansion of valuation methods increases the qualitative characteristics that ensure the usefulness of reporting information for users. At the same time, the use of new methods of valuation of assets is problematic due to their insufficient development. The obtained results can be used for the further development of the valuation of objects, as well as by practitioners for the preparation of the balance sheet and the implementation of state financial control.

“We are One People”: White Papers as a Tool to Promote National Unity in the PRC
Authors: Stavrov Ivan
Published: January 2024

This article studies the role of "white books" in the system of ethnic propaganda in the PRC, as well as their significance in the mechanism of indoctrination of the bureaucracy. This topic has been little studied in the domestic historiography, and few works have been published in the Western literature. China has established a ramified system of propaganda organs, both vertically subordinated and not directly subordinated to the central party-state organs. Ethno-ethnic propaganda organizations have been set up within the overall system, primarily the United Front Department and the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, using both internal and external propaganda channels. “White papers” are an important link in external ethnic propaganda. These materials present the territories of non-Han nationalities as regions that have been part of the Chinese empire and later the modern PRC since ancient times. The Chinese state actively protects the rights of ethnic minorities, develops the institution of ethnic minorities’ regional autonomy and promotes social and economic development of ethnic areas. Only minor extremist groups and religious radicals, supported from abroad, seek to undermine inter-ethnic unity in order to divide China. Hence the need to strengthen the unity of the nationalities. Another purpose of publishing “white papers” is to indoctrinate the bureaucracy, which has lost its "fighting spirit" during the years of reform, especially in the 1990s and 2000s. With a certain pluralism of approaches to the assessment of PRC ethnopolitics and the institution of ethnic minorities’ regional autonomy in the academic environment, the confirmation of the invariability of the official party doctrine contributes to the mobilization of ethnic elites and ganbu.
Vectors of the State Language Policy of Russia and China in Relation to the National Language and Dialects (Comparative Aspect)
Authors: Litovkina Anna
Published: January 2024

The status of state languages is fixed in the official documents of a particular country. In the Russian Federation, the Russian language is recognized as such, in some subjects, languages that are titular for representatives of different ethnic groups receive such status. In China, the language policy is aimed at the widespread promotion of the national Putonghua language, despite the fact that its status has not been constitutionally approved. The forms of language existence include literary (normative) the language and its dialect varieties. Together they represent the national language of a certain linguistic and cultural community. Dialects of Russian and Chinese have unique features expressed at all levels of the system. As a result of a long historical development, they demonstrate the linguistic richness and diversity of languages, as well as the most valuable cultural heritage of states. The language policy of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China is based on the concept of national unity and is aimed at creating a common cultural space through the unification of language standards and the popularization of the language of interethnic communication.
МЕЖДУ ПАЦИФИЗМОМ И МИЛИТАРИЗМОМ: РУССКИЕ ФИЛОСОФЫ О НРАВСТВЕННОМ ТРАГИЗМЕ ВОЙНЫ
Authors: Малахаткин Евгений Олегович
Published: January 2024

Цель исследования. В центре внимания — нравственно противоречивый характер войны, который раскрывается совокупным опытом русской философии, начиная от В. С. Соловьева.

Методология исследования базируется на традициях русской философской мысли.

Результаты исследования. Трагизм является наиболее адекватным понятием для выражения этой противоречивости войны, характерной для русской философии, поскольку он позволяет избежать крайностей пацифизма и милитаризма. Уточняются различные смыслы трагического, принятые в русской философии. Трагизм войны свидетельствует о ее неизбежности при неустранимости нравственных мук совести. Показано, что отношение к войне в русской философии определится не политическими, экономическими, а нравственно-онтологическими аргументами. Нравственный трагизм войны обусловлен онтологической ситуацией «болезни бытия», и поэтому трагическая суть войны — это трагическая суть больного бытия. Делается вывод о том, что данное воззрение делает пацифистскую идеологию не только нежелательной, но более того — вредной и опасной, так приводит не к прекращению войны, но к «худшему греху самоубийства».

Перспективы исследования заключаются в дальнейшем осмыслении феномена войны в русской философии.

Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) Effectiveness for Bacterial Decontamination in The Hospital Setting: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ariningpraja Rustiana , Widyawati Ika Yuni , Fatma Endah Panca Lydia , Lestari Retno
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Bacteria are the most common agent reported to cause hospital-acquired infection (HAI) and nurses play a key role in achieving optimal decontamination. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) is a promising candidate to reduce the bacteria infection burden. Therefore, this review aims to explore the UV-C application and its effectiveness in reducing bacteria contamination on various objects that can act as sources of HAI transmission.
Methods: Searches were conducted on the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases. The inclusion criteria were randomized clinical trials, and non-randomized clinical intervention studies, written in English and published between January 2018 and March 2023. The search strategy used a population (P), intervention (I), comparator (C), and outcome (O) approach.
Results: A total of 21 eligible studies were included in this review with four being related to decontaminating medical devices, two to personal equipment, nine to communication devices, and the remaining six to the environment. The exposure to UV-C radiation varies ranging from 24 s to 24 h (continuously) and it reduced the level of bacteria even up to 100%. Meanwhile, previously the objects were detected to be contaminated with pathogenic and resistant bacteria.
Conclusion: UV-C exposure can be effectively used to decontaminate various objects in hospitals. However, special consideration should be given to semi-critical devices due to contact with mucosal tissue. Further studies are needed regarding the application of doses and duration of UV-C exposure to eliminate bacteria completely.
Adaptation of the Russian version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7
Authors: Zolotareva A.A.
Published: January 2024

Aim. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder–7 is the «gold standard» for assessing anxiety in clinical and population studies. The aim of this study was to adapt the Russian version of the GAD–7. Method. In this cross–sectional study, 1,130 respondents participated. They were recruited through accidental sampling. The participants completed the Russian versions of the GAD–7 and the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ–9) measuring the severity of depressive symptomatology. Results. The factor structure of the Russian version of the GAD–7 corresponds to both a unidimensional model that measures the general anxiety score and a two–dimensional model that highlights the cognitive–emotional and somatic components of anxiety. The adapted scale has high internal reliability (α = 0,93) and convergent validity, confirmed through statistically significant positive correlations between the GAD–7 and the PHQ–9 scores. Conclusion. The Russian version of the GAD–7 is valid and reliable and can be recommended for assessing anxiety in the general population. Avenues for further psychometric examining lie in expanding validation procedures and involving clinical samples to prove the specificity and sensitivity of the GAD–7, and to determine its diagnostic capabilities in clinical research and practice.

The prevalence of sleep difficulties in children aged 5–13 in the context of rare requests from parents for help to specialists allows us to raise the question of what features of children's sleep parents notice and which of them they consider as a problem. Aim. To identify the features of recognition by parents of sleep difficulties in children aged 5–13 years and their subjective qualification their children’s sleep as a problem. Methods. In 147 pairs of «parent–child 5–13 years old without diagnosed sleep disorders» (47 pairs with a child 5–6 years old, 49 with a child 7–9 years old, 51 with a child 10–13 years old), parents answered questions about the pattern of children's sleep habits and completed the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, while the children answered questions about the children's self–report about their sleep (Sleep Self–Report). Results. Despite the prevalence of various sleep difficulties in children aged 5–13 years, most of the symptoms, unless they are daily or extremely rare and culturally viewed as different from the norm, are rarely considered a problem by parents. The opinions of children and parents in relation to observable, externally verified behavioral manifestations were maximally coherent. The opinions of children and parents on aspects of sleep, which include not the manifestations themselves, but the assessment of their normativity, were not at all consistent with each other. Conclusions. The data point to both the importance of better informing parents about various aspects of children's sleep, and the relevance of clinicians' attention to those features of children's sleep that parents do not notice or are not considered a problem.

Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT and Google's Bard, have gained attention for their versatility and accessibility. This study delves into ChatGPT, exploring its potential to elevate virtual Non-Player Character (NPC) interactions, especially in domains such as law enforcement, mental health, and emergency services training. The primary goal was to assess ChatGPT's strengths and weaknesses through qualitative research, identifying opportunities for system enhancements. The evaluation criteria encompass parameters vital to digital media storytelling, including empathy, emotional design, and interactive storytelling. By elucidating the capabilities and constraints of LLMs like ChatGPT and their role in enhancing virtual NPC interactions, this research aims to contribute valuable insights to domains reliant on human-computer interactions and emotional engagement. Additionally, the study integrates scenarios used in training police officers into the researched application, offering best practices for configuring an NPC powered by an LLM. While the emotional parameters showed overall success, there were occasional inconsistencies and unconventional responses. While testing the application for training in verbal de-escalation, the basic scenario seemed to work better than its moderate and complex counterparts due to the straightforward nature of the scenario and since it involved only two characters, making use of the basic techniques involved in learning verbal de-escalation.

In a span of six years, the proportion of Venezuelans in Peru has surged nearly fourfold, rising from virtually zero to over 4% of the population. This study delves into the dynamics of medium- and long-term labor market integration in Peru, combining data from the Venezuelan Population Residing in Peru Survey and the Peruvian National Household Survey. Our findings reveal that Venezuelan workers experience low returns on foreign postsecondary education and there is minimal relation between foreign work experience and monthly income. Importantly, these outcomes remain consistent irrespective of the time spent in the host country, indicating a gradual economic assimilation process. Lastly, our estimation demonstrates that if Venezuelans human capital yielded returns equivalent to Peruvian human capital, the average income of Venezuelans would witness a substantial increase of 20%.

A despeito das contribuições econômicas proporcionadas pela modernização agrícola, suas ramificações incluíram a prevalência da monocultura, a intensificação do consumo de recursos não renováveis e a manipulação genética das culturas, culminando em uma ampliação da produtividade agrícola. O desafio contemporâneo enfrentado pelo agronegócio global reside na necessidade de incrementar a produção de alimentos sem exacerbar os adversos impactos ambientais, enfatizando a urgência de adotar mais práticas ecologicamente sustentáveis. O paradigma Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) assume relevância, uma vez que as empresas atuantes no setor agroindustrial são objeto de estudo quanto às suas ações relacionadas à sustentabilidade ambiental, responsabilidade social e governança corporativa. O presente estudo busca analisar as práticas de ESG adotadas pelas empresas do agronegócio listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (B3), com foco nas dimensões ambientais, com o intuito de identificar os potenciais riscos e as medidas mitigatórias implementadas. Para tanto, o estudo caracteriza-se por uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, onde realizou-se uma análise de correlação da pontuação ESG, bem como foram descritas as principais práticas adotadas pelas empresas estudadas. O estudo sinaliza que as empresas que compõem o Iagro B3, em sua maioria, indicam um desempenho relativo bom ou excelente na adoção das boas práticas ESG, uma vez que as práticas adotadas pelas organizações apresentam uma correlação positiva com a pontuação geral ESG.
