Energy Dissipation and Hydraulics of Flow over Trapezoidal–Triangular Labyrinth Weirs
Authors: Ghaderi Amir , Daneshfaraz Rasoul , Dasineh Mehdi , Di Francesco Silvia
Published: July 2020

In this work experimental and numerical investigations were carried out to study the influence of the geometric parameters of trapezoidal–triangular labyrinth weirs (TTLW) on the discharge coefficient, energy dissipation, and downstream flow regime, considering two different orientations in labyrinth weir position respective to the reservoir discharge channel. To simulate the free flow surface, the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the Renormalization Group (RNG) k-ε model turbulence were adopted in the FLOW-3D software. The flow over the labyrinth weir (in both orientations) is simulated as a steady-state flow, and the discharge coefficient is validated with experimental data. The results highlighted that the numerical model shows proper coordination with experimental results and also the discharge coefficient decreases by decreasing the sidewall angle due to the collision of the falling jets for the high value of H/P (H: the hydraulic head, P: the weir height). Hydraulics of flow over TTLW has free flow conditions in low discharge and submerged flow conditions in high discharge. TTLW approximately dissipates the maximum amount of energy due to the collision of nappes in the upstream apexes and to the circulating flow in the pool generated behind the nappes; moreover, an increase in sidewall angle and weir height leads to reduced energy. The energy dissipation of TTLW is largest compared to vertical drop and has the least possible value of residual energy as flow increases.

Published: July 2020

Integrated decision support tools are needed to investigate the tradeoffs of stormwater control measures (SCMs) and determine the optimal suite of SCMs based on the needs of watersheds. In this study, an urbanized watershed undergoing infill development (the Berkeley neighborhood located in Denver, CO, USA) was modeled using a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) System for Urban Stormwater Treatment and Analysis IntegratioN (SUSTAIN). The primary goal was to compare the relative performance between green and grey SCMs, use optimizations and a planning-level approach to assist in decision-making, and discuss how stakeholder and community preferences can shift which SCMs are optimal for the watershed. Green and grey SCMs have variable hydrologic performance based on design and function, and both offer benefits that may be important to decision makers. Our results showed that infiltration trenches and underground infiltration were optimal for reducing flow volumes while vegetated swales and underground detention were optimal for pollutant concentration reduction. Stakeholders value both of these benefits and so the optimal stormwater solution in the Berkeley neighborhood included a mix of green and grey SCMs. Determining the optimal SCMs while considering tradeoffs in costs and associated benefits was complex and multifaceted. Modeling results such as those presented here are critical for informing stakeholders’ decision-making process.
An Analysis of the Cost of Water Supply Linked to the Tourism Industry. An Application to the Case of the Island of Ibiza in Spain
Authors: Pérez Daniel María González , Martín José María Martín , Martínez José Manuel Guaita , Sáez-Fernández Francisco Javier
Published: July 2020

Tourist activity has a number of impacts on the destinations in which it takes place, among which are the environmental ones. A particular problem is the increase in water demand and wastewater production, which can compromise the balance of ecosystems. As many authors point out, there is a research gap in the comparative analysis between available water resources and the demand associated with tourism. In this respect, the main objective of this work is, on the one hand, to assess the water needs linked to the tourism industry and the capacity of natural resources to meet such a demand and, on the other hand, to estimate the economic cost of the water supply associated with the growing tourist demand in a territory, such as the island of Ibiza in Spain. It has been determined that the resources available are not sufficient to meet the water demand of the resident population at this destination, which is why it is necessary to resort to producing desalinated water. Therefore, the additional requirements associated with tourism must be met fully with desalinated water, which results in an increased cost of water management for the region. This paper also points at water losses in distribution networks and tourism seasonality as two phenomena that aggravate this issue.
Monitoring the Drainage Efficiency of Infiltration Trenches in Fractured and Karstified Limestone via Time-Lapse Hydrogeophysical Approach

Published: July 2020

In the test site of Castellana Grotte (Southern Italy), since 2016, around 2300 m3d−1 of tertiary treated wastewater has been alternatively spread in nine infiltration trenches, dug into fractured and karstified limestone. In one of these trenches, located upstream, seasonal variations in the infiltration rate were observed, with a lower infiltration rate during summer than in winter. This effect could be due to the occurrence of a bioclogging phenomenon in the warm season. In addition, time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was carried out in two different periods, corresponding to the wet and dry seasons, in order to investigate the infiltration process dynamics below the bottom of the trench. Remarkable variability was observed between the south and north sides of the trench—clearly related to the local-scale heterogeneity of the rock formation of the trenches. The results suggest that such an integrated approach should be considered of great interest in case of using infiltration trenches as managed aquifer recharge (MAR) plants. This methodology could provide useful information about the heterogeneities of the rock formation, supporting an alert system for the identification of clogging effects during the life cycle of the plant.
Reduction of Nutrient Leaching Potential in Coarse-Textured Soil by Using Biochar
Authors: Kuo Yu-Lin , Lee Chia-Hisng , Jien Shih-Hao
Published: July 2020

Background: Loss of nutrients and organic carbon (OC) through leaching or erosion may degrade soil and water quality, which in turn could lead to food insecurity. Adding biochar to soil can effectively improve soil stability, therefore, evaluating the effects of biochar on OC and nutrient retention and leaching is critical. Methods: We conducted a 42-day column leaching experiment by using sandy loam soil samples mixed with 2% of biochar pyrolyzed from Honduran mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) wood sawdust at 300 °C (WB300) and 600 °C (WB600) and a control sample. Leaching was achieved by flushing the soil column on day 4 and every week during the 42-day experiment and adding a water volume for each flushing equivalent to the field water capacity. Results: Biochar application increased the final soil pH and OC, NH4+-N, NO3−-N, available P concentrations but not exchangeable K concentrations. In particular, WB600 exhibited superior performance in alleviating soil acidification; WB300 engendered high NO3−-N concentrations. Biochar application effectively retained water in soil and inhibited the leaching of the aforementioned nutrients and dissolved OC. WB300 reduced NH4+-N and K leaching by 30%, and WB600 reduced P leaching by 68%. Conclusions: Biochar application can improve nutrient retention and reduce the leaching potential of soils and connected water bodies.

Authors: Mazzeo Leone , Bavasso Irene , Bracciale Maria Paola , Cocchi Marco , Di Palma Luca , Piemonte Vincenzo
Published: July 2020

Yerba mate (Ilex paraguarensis, YM) was used as biomaterial for the removal of anionic and cationic compounds from wastewater. Chromium hexavalent Cr(VI), Remazol brilliant blue (RBB) and methylene blue (MB) were selected as pollutants. A calcination step was performed after the washing and drying steps to evaluate its effectiveness at increasing the adsorption capacity of the solid. Both YM and calcinated YM (CYM) were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. Adsorption batch tests revealed that YM was ineffective for the removal of Cr(VI) and RBB, while good results were obtained for MB (up to 80%) without pH dependency of the adsorption process, and CYM was able to remove Cr(VI) (up to 77%) and RBB (up to 65%) but not MB. The adsorption isotherm of MB on YM at 298 K was obtained experimentally and it is well represented by the Langmuir isotherm. YM’s adsorption capacity for MB was estimated to be 59.6 mg/g. Kinetic batch tests were conducted and the experimental results were fitted with a mathematical model. The low influence of temperature compared to the influence of the YM concentration on the adsorption rate was explained.
Assessment of Building Vulnerability with Varying Distances from Outlet Considering Impact Force of Debris Flow and Building Resistance
Authors: Kim Man-Il , Kwak Jae-Hwan
Published: July 2020

Studies have been conducted to understand the physical characteristics of debris flows and quantitatively assess the vulnerability of the buildings nearby to mitigate damage from debris flow disasters. However, there remains a paucity of research on vulnerability assessments that discuss the impact force of debris flow and building resistance within certain sections, where debris flows spread from an outlet. In this regard, the study assesses the vulnerability of buildings to debris flows while considering the distance from an outlet. For this purpose, it selects the two sites of Chuncheon-shi in Gangwon-do and Cheongju-shi in Chungcheongbuk-do in South Korea, which are widely known for having experienced debris flow damage in 2011 and 2017, respectively. For the sites, the study conducts an inverse analysis through debris flow simulation to understand the physical characteristics of debris flows, including flow depth, flow velocity, and impact force. Then, the study assesses vulnerability by estimating the resistance of the materials of the buildings placed in the range where debris flows spread, which allows the calculation of a vulnerability index that a building material may have and the estimation of a safety distance from the outlet for each material of the buildings in the study sites. The result shows that with an increasing distance from the outlet, the flow depth, velocity, and impact force, which represent debris flow properties, tend to decrease. This again results in vulnerability being gradually reduced. The study also suggests that buildings are exposed to the risk of debris flow disasters at a sections 40 to 60 m from an outlet for wood material construction, 70 to 110 m for brick-masonry material construction, and all sections from an outlet for prefabricated material construction. Based on this result, the vulnerability index is estimated for the wood material (0.85), brick-masonry material (0.58), and prefabricated material (0.003).
Flood Modeling and Groundwater Flooding in Urbanized Reclamation Areas: The Case of Rome (Italy)
Authors: Mancini Corrado P. , Lollai Stefano , Volpi Elena , Fiori Aldo
Published: July 2020

Coastal regions below the sea level, subject to reclamation, are becoming more and more exposed to flooding following increasing urbanization and hydrological changes. In these areas, groundwater and water table dynamics during intense rainfall events can be an important component of flooding and inundation, leading to groundwater flooding. Thus, the commonly employed hydrological models based on only the surface component of flow may result in a poor estimation of the extension and persistence of inundation events. We introduce here a simple and parsimonious approach for handling the groundwater contribution to flooding in such areas, which can be easily implemented and introduced into surface hydraulic models for flood management and the delineation of inundation maps. The approach involves few relevant parameters, requiring a minimum of information regarding the hydrogeological setup. The method is exemplified through the flood analysis of a wide reclamation area located in the southern part of Rome, Italy. The introduction of the groundwater component could explain the large water volumes pumped by the stations, which are much larger than excess rainfall. The application confirmed the validity of the proposed approach, emphasizing the important role played by groundwater to flooding in areas similar to the one considered here.
Drought Vulnerability in the United States: An Integrated Assessment
Authors: Engström Johanna , Jafarzadegan Keighobad , Moradkhani Hamid
Published: July 2020

Droughts are among the costliest natural hazards in the U.S. and globally. The severity of the hazard is closely related to a region’s ability to cope and recover from the event, an ability that depends on the region’s sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Here, the vulnerability to drought of each state within the contiguous U.S. is assessed as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, using socio-economic, climatic, and environmental indicators. The division of vulnerability into three sub-indices allows for an assessment of the driver(s) of vulnerability of a state and as such provides a foundation for drought mitigation and planning efforts. In addition, a probabilistic approach is used to investigate the sensitivity of vulnerability to the weighting scheme of indicators. The resulting geographic distribution of relative vulnerability of the states is partially a reflection of their heterogeneous climates but also highlights the importance of sustainable adaptation of the local economy to water availability in order to reduce sensitivity and to limit the impact of drought. As such, the study at hand offers insights to local and regional planners on how to effectively distribute funds and plan accordingly in order to reduce state-level drought vulnerability today and in the future.
Global BROOK90 R Package: An Automatic Framework to Simulate the Water Balance at Any Location
Authors: Vorobevskii Ivan , Kronenberg Rico , Bernhofer Christian
Published: July 2020

The number of global open-source hydrometeorological datasets and models is large and growing. However, with a constantly growing demand for services and tools from stakeholders, not only in the water sector, we still lack simple solutions, which are easy to use for nonexperts. The new R package incorporates the BROOK90 hydrologic model and global open-source datasets used for parameterization and forcing. The aim is to estimate the vertical water fluxes within the soil–water–plant system of a single site or of a small catchment (<100 km2). This includes data scarce regions where no hydrometeorological measurements or reliable site characteristics can be obtained. The end-user only needs to provide a location and the desired period. The package automatically downloads the necessary datasets for elevation (Amazon Web Service Terrain Tiles), land cover (Copernicus: Land Cover 100 m), soil characteristics (ISRIC: SoilGrids250), and meteorological forcing (Copernicus: ERA5 reanalysis). Subsequently these datasets are processed, specific hydrotopes are created, and BROOK90 is applied. In a last step, the output data of all desired variables on a daily scale as well as time-series plots are stored. A first daily and monthly validation based on five catchments within various climate zones shows a decent representation of soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and runoff components. A considerably better performance is achieved for a monthly scale.

Published: July 2020

Grouping both existing and newly planned reservoirs based on selected measurable characteristics allows to point out issues that are relevant to area management using experience obtained from the environment of other sites. Divisive hierarchical clustering has been deployed to find similarities between dam locations. The Nitra River Basin (located in Nitra District, Nitra Region in Slovakia) with its 54 reservoirs is the model area. Profiles for 11 potential new reservoirs have been developed. Partial river basins were identified for each of the existing and new reservoirs using a digital relief model. The area size, proportion of arable land, forestland and built-up area, degree of exposure to soil erosion and the volume of surface runoff have been used as parameters for comparisons. Six clusters have been identified containing similar existing as well as new locations, one of them being a special case.
The Use of Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement to Filter Stormwater for Non-Potable Uses in Buildings
Authors: Ghisi Enedir , Belotto Thiago , Thives Liseane
Published: July 2020

A reduction in potable water demand in buildings could be made by using non-potable water for certain uses, such as flushing toilets. This represents a sustainable strategy that results in potable water savings while also using an underutilised resource. This work assesses the use of permeable interlocking concrete pavement to filter stormwater that could be used for non-potable purposes in buildings. Two pavement model systems were tested. One of the model systems presents a filter course layer with coarse sand and the other model system has no filter course layer. In order to evaluate the filtering capacity, the model systems were exposed to rain events. The amount of water infiltrated through the layers was measured to represent the potential quantity available for use. Stormwater runoff samples were collected from a parking lot paved with impermeable interlocked blocks and then, these were tested in both model systems. Water samples were subjected to quality tests according to the parameters recommended by the Brazilian National Water Agency. The model system with no filter course showed filtering capacity higher (88.1%) than the one with a filter course layer (78.8%). The model system with a filter course layer was able to reduce fecal coliforms (54.7%), total suspended solids (62.5%), biochemical oxygen demand (78.8%), and total phosphorus concentrations (55.6%). Biochemical oxygen demand (42.4%) and total phosphorus concentrations (44.4%) increased in the model system with no filter course layer. In conclusion, one can state that the filter course layer used in permeable interlocking concrete pavement can contribute to decreasing pollutants and can improve stormwater quality. The use of permeable interlocking concrete pavement showed to be a potential alternative for filtering stormwater prior to subsequent treatment for non-potable uses in buildings.
Flood Risk Analysis and Assessment, Applications and Uncertainties: A Bibliometric Review
Authors: Díez-Herrero Andrés , Garrote Julio
Published: July 2020

Studies looking at flood risk analysis and assessment (FRA) reviews are not customary, and they usually approach to methodological and spatial scale issues, uncertainty, mapping or economic damage topics. However, most of these reviews provide a snapshot of the scientific state of the art of FRA that shows only a partial view, focused on a limited number of selected methods and approaches. In this paper, we apply a bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science (WoS) database to assess the historic evolution and future prospects (emerging fields of application) of FRA. The scientific production of FRA has increased considerably in the past decade. At the beginning, US researchers dominated the field, but now they have been overtaken by the Chinese. The Netherlands and Germany may be highlighted for their more complete analyses and assessments (e.g., including an uncertainty analysis of FRA results), and this can be related to the presence of competitive research groups focused on FRA. Regarding FRA fields of application, resilience analysis shows some growth in recent years while land planning, risk perception and risk warning show a slight decrease in the number of papers published. Global warming appears to dominate part of future FRA production, which affects both fluvial and coastal floods. This, together with the improvement of economic evaluation and psycho-social analysis, appear to be the main trends for the future evolution of FRA. Finally, we cannot ignore the increase in analysis using big data analysis, machine learning techniques, and remote sensing data (particularly in the case of UAV sensors data).
Trophic Responses of the Asian Reservoir to Long-Term Seasonal and Interannual Dynamic Monsoon
Authors: Mamun Md , Kim Ji Yoon , An Kwang-Guk
Published: July 2020

The main objectives of the study were to determine the trophic response of the temperate reservoir to seasonal and interannual variabilities of monsoon inorganic solids and nutrients along the gradients of the morphologically complex Asian reservoir using long-term datasets between 2000–2018. Nutrient regime (total nitrogen—TN, total phosphorus—TP), total suspended solids (TSS), and chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) were primarily affected by an intensity of summer monsoon and the longitudinal structure of riverine (Rz), transitional (Tz), and lacustrine (Lz) zone. The reservoir is a nitrogen-rich system and the phosphorus content of the water was relatively low, and it had low mean N:P ratios (<40), implying a P-limiting system. The Lz was a highly P-limited zone in comparison to Rz and Tz zone during both drought (2015) and flood year (2011). The TP content was higher in the mainstem (S3) than the embankment (S4 and S6) of the reservoir due to the monsoon river inputs of the nutrients. Nonparametric Mann–Kendall tests indicated that TP decreased over the long-term years in the Rz, while it did not show any trend in Tz, Lz, IT1, and IT2. TN showed an increasing trend in Rz, Tz, Lz, and IT2 except for IT1. The empirical regression model for chlorophyll nutrients showed that CHL-a had a strong positive relationship with TP (R2 = 0.67, p < 0.01) than TN (R2 = 0.06, p < 0.01), supporting the view that algal growth in lentic systems responds to TP enrichment and TP may provide a reliable basis for predicting algal biomass. The seasonality of CHL-a and TP showed a monomodal pattern and indicates that summer TP influences summer algal growth in Tz, Lz, and IT2. The water clarity (SD) of the reservoir was significantly (p < 0.01) influenced by TP (R2 = 0.62), TSS (R2 = 0.67), and CHL-a (R2 = 0.68) rather than TN (R2 = 0.10). The non-algal light attenuation coefficient (Kna) was determined mainly by suspended solids and the monsoon hydrology. The trophic state was much higher when assessments were based on TSI (CHL-a) than on TSI (TP) and TSI (SD). TSI (CHL-a) indicated the eutrophic state of the reservoirs except for the zone of Lz during the premonsoon season. Analysis of trophic state index deviation (TSID) suggested that the blue-green algae dominated the algal community, and the effects of non-algal turbidity and zooplankton grazing were minor in the reservoir.
Dynamic Distributed Storage of Stormwater in Sponge-Like Porous Bodies: Modelling Water Uptake
Authors: Lundström T. , Åkerstedt Hans , Larsson I. , Marsalek Jiri , Viklander Maria
Published: July 2020

An innovative concept of dynamic stormwater storage in sponge-like porous bodies (SPBs) is presented and modelled using first principles, for down-flow and up-flow variants of SPBs. The rate of inflow driven by absorption and/or capillary action into various porous material structures was computed as a function of time and found to be critically dependent on the type of structure and the porous material used. In a case study, the rates of inflow and storage filling were modelled for various conditions and found to match, or exceed, the rates of rainwater inflow and volume accumulation associated with two types of Swedish rainfalls, of 60-min duration and a return period of 10 years. Hence, the mathematical models indicated that the SPB devices studied could capture relevant amounts of water. The theoretical study also showed that the SPB concepts could be further optimized. Such findings confirmed the potential of dynamic SPB storage to control stormwater runoff and serve as one of numerous elements contributing to restoration of pre-urban hydrology in urban catchments. Finally, the issues to be considered in bringing this theoretical concept to a higher Technological Readiness Level were discussed briefly, including operational challenges. However, it should be noted that a proper analysis of such issues requires a separate study building on the current presentation of theoretical concepts.

Published: July 2020

This work presented a nonlinear control for a reversible power buck–boost converter (BBC) in order to control energy storage in a supercapacitor (SC) used in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). The aim was to control a power converter in order to satisfy the following two requirements: (i) perfect tracking of SC current to its reference signal and (ii) asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. The two objectives were achieved using an integral sliding mode control. In order to validate the proposed approach, an experimental prototype was built. The controller was integrated into dSPACE prototyping systems using the DS1202 card. It was clearly shown, using formal analysis, simulation, and experimental results, that the designed controller metall the objectives, namely, the stability of the system and the control of the current at its reference.

TURGENEV, GOGOL AND “NATURAL SCHOOL”
Authors: Rebel G.M.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of correlation of Turgenev and Gogol's creativity in the context of the aesthetic program of the “natural school”. The issue of the nature of Gogol's influence on Turgenev is still debatable, as well as the issue of the involvement of both writers in the “natural school”. Belinsky's definition of the “natural school”, on the one hand, was based on limited literary material, on the other - was extremely broad and as a result is equally suited to the work of such different authors as Gogol, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Goncharov, etc. An analysis of Turgenev's work suggests that, having paid tribute to the principles of “physiological” essay in his early dramatic experiments, already in the “Hunter's notes” Turgenev demonstrates a fundamentally new artistic strategy, which is fully manifested in his novels. Turgenev's creativity developed not within the framework of the “natural school” in the narrow meaning of this concept and not in the mainstream of Gogol's grotesque realism, which in turn does not fit into the canons set by the “physiological essay” of the 40s.
INTERTEXTUAL ELEMENTS IN THE POETICS OF THE FILM “CARGO 200” BY A. BALABANOV
Authors: Florya A.V.
Published: July 2020

This article is devoted to the theme of interaction of literary texts with the language of cinema. The article describes some intertextual sources of the film “Cargo 200” by A. Balabanov. The plot frame of this film may be considered the novel “Sanctuary” by W. Faulkner, but conceptually the film is different from it. The myth about the dead bridegroom is used in the film only conditionally and is transferred to another character. Popular Soviet songs are used in the film in different functions: they create a cultural background (in fact, very relative), accompany and illustrate the plot, serve as characteristics of the characters. Although Balabanov preferred rock music, in this film mainly popular songs are used in an ironic manner. Sentimental romance of these songs contrasts with the terrible context and in a sense creates the effect of “black humor”.
REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT GORA (MOUNTAIN) IN THE RUSSIAN LINGUISTIC CULTURE AND ITS ANALOGUES IN THE BULGARIAN AND SERBIAN LINGUISTIC CULTURES
Authors: Medvedeva T.S. , Medvedeva D.I.
Published: July 2020

The article presents the comparative analysis of the concept gora 'mountain' in the Russian linguistic culture and its analogues in the Bulgarian and Serbian linguistic cultures. The analysis revealed both similarities and differences in the conceptualization of mountain as a landform in the linguistic cultures under study. The similarities in the structure and semantics of linguistic units that represent the concepts are due to the fact that a part of these fixed phrases are internationalisms that originate from classical literature and Bible. We explain the presence of similar metaphors and symbols by the universal mechanisms of creating cognitive metaphors and symbols. The differences between Russian, Bulgarian and Serbian fixed phrases are based on purely linguistic specifics as well as on the characteristics of nature and landscape of Russia (Russian Plain), Bulgaria and Serbia.

Published: July 2020

The article discusses the issue of language use in the process of developing human consciousness. Language means advocate ideas and impress them in human consciousness. In the modern world, language is used as an ideological pressure on a human being. In current world situation, language tends to be as a means of ideological struggle for power in the society. As such, it can develop a model of the modern world, which, in its turn, develops the ability to perform any activity, designates any processes existing in the society and its life. The article analyzes the use of language means in KPRF Program, which was introduced in the run up to the elections of 2016. The aim of the program text is to introduce a world model designed by KPRF. Lexical- semantic techniques are assessed and language means, which are used to make an effect on voters, are also analyzed in the article.
ROLE OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Chazova I.Yu. , Mukhina I.A.
Published: July 2020

Doing business requires certain rules that are formed and regulated by public authorities. The main results of the development of local self-government in the Volga Federal district from the point of view of entrepreneurial activity of public authorities are analyzed. The indicators of local self-government in the Udmurt Republic that characterize the economic activity of municipalities are considered. It is revealed that representatives of local self-government bodies are not able to solve not only financial issues, but also issues of local economy. At the same time, for the period from 2010 to 2018 the number of organizations in Udmurtia decreased by 944 units, which is due to a significant excess of annually liquidated organizations over the number of newly created ones. Negative consequences for the region's economy are manifested in a decrease in: the volume of goods and services produced by various entities; sales turnover, respectively, the amount of taxable profit, and the number of taxes collected; and employment. In Udmurtia in 2018, the number of employed people was 700.5 thousand people, that is, based on 1 economic entity, about 20 people. Forms of support for small and medium-sized businesses are analyzed, federal programs and projects that are aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses in Udmurtia are considered. Measures are proposed to identify the key points for the development of municipal policy in relation to economic entities, which will allow developing infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and the social sphere, and making better and more effective use of the territory's resources.
Probabilistic Message Passing for Decentralized Control of Stochastic Complex Systems
Authors: Herzallah Randa
Published: July 2020

This paper proposes a novel probabilistic framework for the design of probabilistic message passing mechanism for complex and large dynamical systems that are operating and governing under a decentralized way. The proposed framework considers the evaluation of probabilistic messages that can be passed between mutually interacting quasi-independent subsystems that will not be restricted by the assumption of homogeneity or conformability of the subsystems components. The proposed message passing scheme is based on the evaluation of the marginal density functions of the states that need to be passed from one subsystem to another. An additional contribution is the development of stochastic controllability analysis of the controlled subsystems that constitute a complex system. To facilitate the understanding and the analytical analysis of the proposed message passing mechanism and the controllability analysis, theoretical developments are demonstrated on linear stochastic Gaussian systems.

It has now been established that blood vessels are target for influenza, but the mechanism by which the influenza virus affects the cardiovascular system is unknown. The aim – adaptation of influenza virus A/St. Petersburg/48/16 H1N1(pdm09) to mature Wistar rats, as these animals are the main experimental model for studying the pathology of the cardiovascular system. Material and methods. Passage of influenza A virus (IAV) in embryonated chicken eggs, intranasal inoculation of rats with virus-containing material s, production of pulmonary homogenate, determination of IAV titer in embryonated chicken eggs, detection of histological changes in lung and pulmonary vessels. Results. The article presents the results of the adaptation of influenza virus A/St. Petersburg/48/16 H1N1(pdm09) to mature Wistar rats. The infectious titer of the virus in the homogenates of infected rats lungs at the last stage of adaptation was 7.0 lg EID50/ml. Histological studies revealed pronounced changes in the respiratory tract (spasm of bronchioles, submucosal edema, desquamation of ciliated epithelium of bronchioles) and pulmonary vessels (spasm, desquamation and swelling of endotheliocytes, dissociation and swelling of the elastic membrane and media). In order to identify IAV in blood vessels and lung tissues, an immunohistochemical study was performed using monoclonal antibodies to NP antigen of IAV. Conclusion. The data obtained allow us to conclude that the strain of influenza virus A/St. Petersburg/48/16 H1N1(pdm09) was adapted to mature Wistar rats maintaining virulent properties. The infectious titer of the virus at the last stage of adaptation was 7.0 lg EID50/ml. IAV identification is confirmed by immunohistochemical examination.
O BAILE DE MÁSCARAS

Published: July 2020

Este texto busca analisar a relação Estado Integral (sociedade civil e sociedade política) e Estado Supranacional (organismos supranacionais) em meio à luta que a classe trabalhadora trava no processo de (auto)formação da consciência crítica e de enfretamento à internacionalização capitalista. Evidencia a atualidade da tese de Gramsci em torno da criação do “grande Estado burguês supranacional” na Liga das Nações, fenômeno este desenvolvido no Pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial. Incorpora a questão do emprego da categoria analítica “supranacional”, com o fito de revelar a sua historicidade, bem como significativo movimento de complementaridade entre intelectual orgânico e intelectual cosmopolita e o papel que cumprem quanto à tessitura de políticas e tomadas de decisão à revelia do debate público, mas também suas implicações nos rumos das políticas públicas em nível nacional.

CRISE ORGÂNICA, NEOLIBERALISMO E BARBÁRIE
Authors: Del Roio Marcos Tadeu
Published: July 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é apenas sugerir alguns elementos para reflexão e discussão sobre o que acontece no nosso tempo. O texto segue a ideia de que o nosso tempo se caracteriza, grosso modo, pela crise estrutural ou crise orgânica do capital e que essa crise tem sido conduzida pelo invólucro ideológico do neoliberalismo, que expressa os interesses do capital em crise na sua ofensiva contra os trabalhadores. A tendência é o agravamento das contradições existentes no movimento do capital, com implicações dramáticas para o ambiente natural e a própria sobrevida da humanidade, com o ingresso no tempo da barbárie. Essa reflexão se alimenta principalmente dos escritos de Gramsci e Vico.

A AGENDA DE ESTADO MÍNIMO E O AVANÇO DA EXTREMA DIREITA NO BRASIL
Authors: De Mari Cezar Luiz , Thiengo Lara Carlette , Melo Savana Diniz Gomes
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo temos como objetivo discutir o avanço da extrema direita no poder fundamentada pelo ideário conservador, e suas expressões na educação superior brasileira. Em termos metodológicos, focamos nas produções do legislativo, para demonstrar que há continuidade e convergência do aprofundamento das reformas para a educação superior pública conforme a ideologia do Estado mínimo. Esta perspectiva delineia-se desde a década de 1990 sendo acentuada nos governos de Michel Temer (2016-2018) e Jair Bolsonaro (2019-atual). A perspectiva da filosofia da práxis gramsciana serviu de base para as análises, compartilhada também por outros estudiosos do campo crítico.

GRAMSCI E UMA TEORIA GERAL DO MARXISMO – 2
Authors: D'Orsi Angelo
Published: July 2020

Durante seu período de prisão, incluindo anos na clínica, sempre em condições de detenção, Gramsci foi forçado a mudar sua situação - isto é, a perda da liberdade pessoal, a derrota de seu partido e todo o movimento proletário na Itália e na Europa - reconsiderar a mesma concepção da revolução, sem contudo renunciar a essa perspectiva. Mas deve mudar sua natureza, suas modalidades: não mais um ato, mas um processo destinado a construir uma contra-hegemonia ao poder burguês, um processo que se baseia no papel fundamental dos intelectuais orgânicos na classe proletária. Mas, para chegar a essa conclusão, Gramsci precisa inovar poderosamente a concepção marxista, abandonando primeiro a dogmática do marxismo-leninismo imposta pela Rússia e pelo Comintern, iniciando e introduzindo novos elementos no mesmo corpo do pensamento de Marx, por exemplo, sobre o assunto, o papel do Estado, a identificação e definição das classes dominadas, não mais simplesmente "proletários" ou "trabalhadores", mas "subalternas", mas também uma nova análise do capitalismo vista não apenas como um modo de produção.
