DESLOCAMENTOS PARA O SUL
Authors: Almeida Saulo Vinícius
Published: October 2020

Proponho no presente artigo, uma reflexão sobre o deslocamento rumo a uma prática de criação e a uma poética decoloniais realizadas pelo grupo potiguar Arkhétypos. Para tanto, centro minha análise nos espetáculos Gosto de Flor e Revoada, apresentando de que maneira o jogo-ritual exige uma mudança de postura ética e da percepção dos atores e do público envolvidos no acontecimento, rompendo o horizonte de sentidos criado e imposto por aqueles que detêm o poder, possibilitando assim a resignificação dos eventos vivenciados. Partindo de uma escrita autoetnográfica, reflito sobre o deslocar físico e simbólico que o jogo-ritual do grupo Arkhétypos exigiu de mim, todas as vezes em que assisti a uma de suas obras.

Authors: Silva Francisco Felipe da , Gomes Anailson Márcio , Barbosa Alexandro , Lucena Wenner Gláucio Lopes
Published: October 2020

Esta pesquisa objetivou identificar fatores explicativos da eficiência econômica das capitais brasileiras na alocação do gasto com ações e serviços públicos de saúde, no período de 2006 a 2015. Para tanto, utilizou a análise de regressão por Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO), com dados em cross-sectional e efeitos aleatórios, tendo como amostra 25 capitais brasileiras. Foi utilizada como variável dependente os escores de eficiência econômica identificados no estudo de Silva, Gomes, Barbosa e Lucena (2018), e como variáveis explicativas, fatores exógenos sobre os quais os gestores não possuem controle em curto prazo. Os resultados da pesquisa revelam que três variáveis apresentaram-se estatisticamente significantes: o PIB per capita, a taxa de urbanização e o percentual da população beneficiada com o abastecimento de água potável. Portanto, conclui-se que a eficiência do gasto em saúde não é resultado apenas da gestão de fatores institucionais, mas requer também investimentos em outras áreas de atuação, como geração e distribuição de renda, abastecimento de água e urbanização
Moedas digitais e religião: o uso do bitcoin nas finanças islâmicas
Authors: El Khatib Ahmed Sameer , Lisboa Nahor Plácido
Published: October 2020

O Bitcoin utiliza a tecnologia de um sistema de registro de transações em rede de dados Peer-to-Peer (P2P), conhecida como Blockchain, ou cadeia de blocos, para ser transferido, comprado e vendido, sem necessidade de autenticação e verificação de uma terceira parte. Trata-se, pois, de uma Criptomoeda, como outras menos conhecidas, como litecoin, worldcoin, solidcoin, ixcoins, coinbuck, betacoin, tenebrix. zcash, para citar algumas dentre as mais de mil que existem atualmente. Uma de suas características básicas é não contarem com uma autoridade central responsável pela liquidação e compensação das transferências realizadas, a partir de mecanismos institucionalizados. Devido à crescente popularidade e importância do Bitcoin, investidores e pesquisadores começaram recentemente a avaliar o Bitcoin sob a perspectiva de negócios, economia e finanças islâmicas, em que as práticas de cobrança e pagamento de juros, incertezas e especulação são condenáveis à luz da Shariah ou Lei Islâmica. Este artigo explora as possibilidades de usar o Bitcoin como uma estratégia de otimização de portfólio para os gestores de fundos islâmicos. Para atingir o objetivo da pesquisa, foram utilizadas três modelagens econométricas: DCC-GARCH (Dynamic Conditional Correlation), CWT (Continuos Wavelet Transform) e MODWT (Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform). Os resultados indicam que os índices de ações Bitcoin e Shariah são baixos e negativamente correlacionados, sugerindo que os investidores em ações islâmicas possam se beneficiar da diversificação com o Bitcoin e que os fundamentos de tais moedas podem ser mais investigados em benefício dos mercados de capitais islâmicos.

Application of Hydrogen in Ophthalmology
Authors: Takahashi Hiroshi
Published: October 2020

This report reviews studies on the use of H2 in the ophthalmological field. In retinal diseases, particularly
in a retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, effects of H2 are remarkable in reducing retinal tissue damage. H2
treatment of corneal damage caused by alkali or UVB suppressed scar formation. The most unique application
of H2 in the ophthalmological field appears to be its use in phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Ultrasound oscillation
produces ·OH through the cavitation phenomenon in the anterior chamber of the eye, which induces
oxidative insults in the corneal endothelium. Phacoemulsification using H2 dissolved in the irrigation solution
significantly suppressed the corneal endothelial damage. The effect of H2 was direct and clear, as H2 instantly
scavenges ·OH produced by ultrasound oscillation in the anterior chamber, thereby suppressing oxidative insults
during the phacoemulsification procedure.

Authors: Wu Peiliang , Xie Xiaona , Chen Mayun , Sun Junwei , Cai Luqiong , Wei Jinqiu , Yang Lin , Huang Xiaoying , Wang Liangxing
Published: October 2020

Background and Objective:

Qishen Yiqi formula (QSYQ) is used to treat cardiovascular disease in the clinical
practice of traditional Chinese medicine. However, few studies have explored whether QSYQ affects pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and the mechanisms of action and molecular targets of QSYQ for the treatment of PAH are unclear. A
bioinformatics/network topology-based strategy was used to identify the bioactive ingredients, putative targets, and molecular mechanisms of QSYQ in PAH.

Methods:

A network pharmacology-based strategy was employed by integrating active component gathering, target prediction, PAH gene collection, network topology, and gene enrichment analysis to systematically explore the multicomponent
synergistic mechanisms.

Results:

In total, 107 bioactive ingredients of QSYQ and 228 ingredient targets were identified. Moreover, 234 PAH-related
differentially expressed genes with a |fold change| >2 and an adjusted P value < 0.005 were identified between the PAH patient and control groups, and 266 therapeutic targets were identified. The pathway enrichment analysis indicated that 85
pathways, including the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and HIF-1 signaling pathways, were significantly enriched. TP53 was the core
target gene, and 7 other top genes (MAPK1, RELA, NFKB1, CDKN1A, AKT1, MYC, and MDM2) were the key genes in
the gene-pathway network based on the effects of QSYQ on PAH.

Conclusion:

An integrative investigation based on network pharmacology may elucidate the multicomponent synergistic
mechanisms of QSYQ in PAH and lay a foundation for further animal experiments, human clinical trials and rational clinical applications of QSYQ.

An Overview of the Treatment Contributions Measured Globally for the COVID-19 Outbreak
Authors: Naz Sheikh Saba , Munir Iqra
Published: October 2020

Background:

SARS CoV2 is a newly emerged animal beta coronavirus that causes respiratory
illness. This infection has affected 212 countries to date and has been declared a pandemic by the
World Health Organization. Due to the high transmission rate and lack of availability of any approved
anti-viral drug, the formulation of a specific anti-viral therapy has now become a global emergency. Genomic
studies have revealed a 79% identity of SARS CoV2 with SARS CoV and 50% identity with
MERS CoV, which has given a clue point to test the drugs that were efficient against previously encountered
beta coronaviruses. For this purpose, several clinical trials based on the knowledge of existing
drugs are moving ahead. These therapies include chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, corticosteroids
therapy, favipiravir, ribavirin, lopinavir/ritonavir, anti-cytokine therapy, and convalescent
sera.

Aim of the study:

The purpose of this review is to give a pointer of contributions conducted globally,
including strategies utilized for treatments, the pattern of dosage, adverse reactions, and effective outcomes
from different drugs.

Methodology:

Literature has been retrieved from PubMed, PubMed Central, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect,
and Google Scholar, using a combination of keywords for extensive information.

Conclusion:

Among all the drug options, Remdesivir and the use of Convalescent Sera have been considered
as the safest options for treatment against COVID-19. Data from the ongoing clinical trials will
be required for the formulation of a specific and approved anti-viral drug.
Leveraging a Cloud-Based Critical Care Registry for COVID-19 Pandemic Surveillance and Research in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Authors:   CRIT Care Asia, Hashmi Madiha , Beane Abi , Murthy Srinivas , Dondorp Arjen M , Haniffa Rashan
Published: October 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed limitations in real-time surveillance needed for responsive health care action in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Pakistan Registry for Intensive CarE (PRICE) was adapted to enable International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC)–compliant real-time reporting of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). The cloud-based common data model and standardized nomenclature of the registry platform ensure interoperability of data and reporting between regional and global stakeholders. Inbuilt analytics enable stakeholders to visualize individual and aggregate epidemiological, clinical, and operational data in real time. The PRICE system operates in 5 of 7 administrative regions of Pakistan. The same platform supports acute and critical care registries in eleven countries in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. ISARIC-compliant SARI reporting was successfully implemented by leveraging the existing PRICE infrastructure in all 49 member intensive care units (ICUs), enabling clinicians, operational leads, and established stakeholders with responsibilities for coordinating the pandemic response to access real-time information on suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases (N=592 as of May 2020) via secure registry portals. ICU occupancy rates, use of ICU resources, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and ICU outcomes were reported through registry dashboards. This information has facilitated coordination of critical care resources, health care worker training, and discussions on treatment strategies. The PRICE network is now being recruited to international multicenter clinical trials regarding COVID-19 management, leveraging the registry platform. Systematic and standardized reporting of SARI is feasible in LMICs. Existing registry platforms can be adapted for pandemic research, surveillance, and resource planning.

Authors: Wright Hayley , Martin Faith , Clyne Wendy , Clark Cain C T , McGillion Michael , Matouskova Gabriela , Turner Andrew
Published: October 2020

Background

During the COVID-19 lockdown period in the United Kingdom that began on March 23, 2020, more than a quarter of a million people with cancer reported worsening mental health. Help to Overcome Problems Effectively (Hope) is a self-management program for people with cancer, designed to provide support for distress, unmet needs, and poor psychological health. In light of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital delivery of the Hope Programme has become ever more vital for people with cancer. Previous pre-post studies of the digital Hope Programme have found reduced anxiety and depression and improved well-being for people with cancer. However, evaluation of this evidence has been limited by the lack of a control group in these previous studies.

Objective

We now present a protocol for a feasibility randomized controlled trial of the digital Hope Programme for people with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary outcomes will be recruitment, dropout, and adherence rates, and estimations of sample and effect size. To detect signals of efficacy, secondary outcomes will be participant mental health and well-being.

Methods

Participants will be recruited by Macmillan Cancer Support (MCS) through their social media networks. The study will employ a feasibility wait-list randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, with people with cancer being randomized to join the digital Hope Programme immediately (intervention group [IG]) or join a 6-week waiting list (wait-list control group [WLCG]) with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Participants will complete digital measures of depression, anxiety, mental well-being, and confidence in managing their own health. Online questionnaires will be administered preprogram and 6 weeks postprogram.

Results

All people who had requested access to the Hope Programme from MCS (N=61) will be invited to participate in the trial. Baseline data collection commenced in April 2020, and the Hope Programme began for the IG in May 2020 and for the WLCG in June 2020. Postprogram data collection was completed by the end of August 2020.

Conclusions

This feasibility study will provide data to inform the design of a future definitive trial. Wider-scale provision of the digital Hope Programme has potential to improve the lives of thousands of people with cancer and reduce the burden on health care providers during these unprecedented times.

Auszug aus Ägypten - zum Claudius Jucker in München
Authors: Willers Dietrich
Published: October 2020

Der Übergang des lange in Bern befindlichen Claudiusporträts in den Besitz der Münchner Glyptothek gibt Anlass zu zwei Bemerkungen. Der bisher vertretenen Ansicht, das Werk entstamme einer Werkstatt Ägyptens, wird widersprochen und stattdessen eine Herkunft aus Kleinasien favorisiert. Indizien sprechen für die Wiederverwendung eines ursprünglichen Caligulaporträts. The transfer of the Portrait of Claudius, who had for a long time been in Bern, into the property of the Glyptothek in Munich gives occasion to two remarks. The opinion hold until now, that the oeuvre was produced in an atelier in Egypt, is objected. Instead, an origin in Asia Minor is favored. Evidence points to a reutilization of a former portrait of Caligula.

Semantic, Aspectual Category and Evidential Category of-guo
Authors: Zhu Lin.
Published: October 2020

The semantics of -guo indicates a non-empty set of a type of eventuality in a certain time frame, while the properties of term inability, discontinuity and repeatability are only pragmatic implicatures. From the viewpoint of event structure, -guo is better considered as an imperfective marker than an experiential marker which asserting the activity description and leaving the state description as a standard implicative. Forwardly, from event structure to information structure, “-guo” is developed into an indirect evidential marker. Based on social needs of reliability and extended intersubjectivity, “-guo” emphasizes the truth of events and gains the specific meaning as an interpersonal evidential.

Dysfunction of categorization of emotional faces in people with schizophrenia
Authors: Yin Guimei , Li Haifang , Zhao Lun
Published: October 2020

People with schizophrenia often show deficits in recognizing facial emotions, which contributes to poor social functioning. In this experiment we directly investigated how 20 people being treated for schizophrenia categorized emotional faces. In a control group of healthy people who
had no mental illness, happy faces were classified faster than sad faces, that is, there was a positive classification advantage. However, this phenomenon was not present for inverted faces. Compared with the control group, the people with schizophrenia categorized emotional faces more slowly,
with less accuracy, and without a positive classification advantage, except for an overall delayed response for inverted rather than right-way-up conditions. Although face inversion delayed the categorization of neutral faces in the group with schizophrenia, inversion effects for both happy
and sad faces did not differ between the 2 groups. These results suggest a dysfunction of categorization of emotional faces in people with schizophrenia, although these individuals could adopt the same criterion pattern emotions as the control group did on faces shown inverted and the right
way up. Our findings provide new evaluation evidence for practitioners treating people with schizophrenia.
Helping or hurting? Effects of sexism and likeability on third party perceptions of women
Authors: Warren Christopher R. , Zanhour Mona , Washburn Mark , Odom Brianna
Published: October 2020

Hostile and benevolent sexism continue to have adverse impacts on opportunities for advancement of women in organizations. In this study we examined the relationship between observer assessments and male interviewer sexism, emphasizing sexism's impact on perceptions of female candidates'
hireability and competence. The sample included 266 male and female participants randomized as observers across interview scenarios. Scenario conditions varied between hostile, benevolent, and neutral interviewers, but the female candidate remained neutral. We found that benevolent sexism
implies a positive outcome of enhanced observer perception of hireability with little stigma associated with the female candidate's competence, whereas hostile sexism had an overall negative effect, which was offset by observer impressions of likeability of the female job candidate who maintained
a neutral composure. Our study findings suggest that observers' perceptions of sexism, benevolence, and a woman candidate's likeability differ and may change with experience. Perception of likeability, in particular, may provide a positive relational strategy for mitigating the effect of benevolent
sexism without the tradeoff of perceived diminished competence.
Social media use and student creativity: The mediating role of student engagement
Authors: Sun Xiaomeng
Published: October 2020

Fostering student creativity is widely accepted as an important goal in Chinese higher education, and social media is now integrated into students' everyday lives. I investigated how social media use in study contexts is related to students' engagement and creativity. A validated questionnaire
was used to collect data from 652 undergraduate students at 3 Chinese public universities. Structural equation modeling results show that social media use in study contexts was related to student engagement and creativity, and that student engagement partially mediated the relationship between
social media use and student creativity. This provides insight into how to promote student creativity. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are presented, and future directions for research are discussed.

Authors: Parakhnich Aleksandr S. , Yuferev Leonid Yu.
Published: October 2020

Agriculture is one of the most important elements of the economic complex of the Republic of Crimea, which is confirmed by the high development of territories, about 70 percent of the area. To eliminate the acute shortage of water, the article proposes an autonomous system powered by solar energy. This will make it possible to provide water for irrigation on agricultural land. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in searching for and justifying optimal technical solutions for eliminating the problem of water supply to agricultural enterprises of the Republic of Crimea. (Materials and methods) Authors have analyzed the agro-climatic features of the Crimean Peninsula. The article presents the data on the depth of the aquifer on the territory of Crimea, the annual energy potential of solar and wind energy. The article proposes a variant of water supply using artesian water extraction systems powered by solar energy. Authors have calculated the parameters of the solar water supply system. The article presents a diagram of its work. (Results and discussion) The main advantage of a solar installation for water extraction is the ability to use it autonomously in remote areas, without resorting to the construction of expensive engineering structures, which allows us to solve the problem of water supply locally. To ensure the irrigation rate of the apple tree on the territory of one hectare with sufficient solar insolation, a water-based photovoltaic installation is a suitable technical solution. The article presents the total capacity and area of the photovoltaic plant. (Conclusions) The area of the photovoltaic station does not exceed one percent of the total area of the irrigated field. This installation will make it possible to solve the problem of water supply in the region, increase productivity and the overall standard of living of the population. The installation occupies a small area and has a high performance.

Published: October 2020

Energy consumption around the world is growing continuously and more rapidly. There are three ways to solve the energy problem in the future: the use of new and more efficient use of existing energy sources and the rational use of extracted energy. Modern technologies for developing fuel deposits allow extracting on average no more than 40 percent of the subsurface content, the level of science and technology does not allow achieving a greater level of its extraction with sufficient economic effect. The most cost-effective, simple and feasible way to efficiently use the extracted energy is to utilize the waste heat. The article considers the advantages and possibility of using thermoelectric heat pumps based on Peltier elements. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in justifying the effectiveness of using semiconductor heat pumps in thermal technological processes at livestock facilities. (Materials and methods) During the study, the authors used methods of system analysis and synthesis of existing knowledge in the field of research on the development of thermoelectric heat pumps. (Results and discussion) The article presents the adjusted methodology for calculating the efficiency of thermoelectric heat pumps. The heat energy withdrawn by the hot circuit, and directed to heating the air, exceeds the energy consumed from the electrical network. (Conclusions) The utilization coefficient in most modern thermoelectric installations is at the level of 3-5, which means that one kilowatt-hour of electrical energy consumed produces 3-5 times more thermal energy. Heat pumps are efficient because they allow to use renewable energy, and therefore they are economically feasible.

In precision agriculture, thermal remote sensing is considered a promising tool that estimates the surface temperature of vegetation and uses satellite thermal imaging cameras or thermal cameras on unmanned aerial vehicles. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in reviewing of thermal cameras for unmanned aerial vehicles and the use of a heat channel (LWIR) to study the state of crops when monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles. (Materials and methods) We used scientific literature, materials of domestic and foreign authors, and websites of manufacturers of thermal imaging cameras for unmanned aerial vehicles. (Results and discussion) A modern drone with a thermal imaging camera serves as a platform solution for monitoring agricultural fields. Thermal infrared sensors capture information about the temperature of objects warmer than absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius/-459 degrees Fahrenheit) at certain wavelengths (the LWIR and MWIR ranges) in an amount proportional to their temperature and generate images that display this temperature. The process of collecting and processing thermal data consists of several stages and varies depending on the suspension equipment and the purpose of the survey. Foreign scientists used thermal images obtained using unmanned aerial vehicles and a thermal camera to assess the state of vegetation cover, crop yields, irrigation systems, to measure water stress, determine the maturity phase of row crops and fruit tree productivity. (Conclusions) The heat channel can be used in the formation of decisions for assessing vegetation cover, crop moisture availability, when planning irrigation systems, determining diseases and infected crops, crop readiness for harvesting and yield mapping.
On the Need to Adopt a Strategic Planning Document «Strategy for the Development of the Higher Education System in the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030»
Authors: Amirov R. A.
Published: October 2020

The purpose: the article substantiates the importance of the country’s adoption of the strategic planning document «Strategy for the development of the higher education system in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030».Materials and methods: the research uses theoretical and empirical methods, logical and system analysis, methods of description, prediction and expert assessments. The theoretical basis of the research is the method of strategic management developed by the famous economist, doctor of economic sciences, professor, foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences V. L. Kvint.Results: the analysis of numerous definitions of the concept and essence of strategy existing in the scientific literature is carried out, and a number of key positions in its definition are highlighted. Justifications are given for the criteria for developing strategies, using the example of the Strategy for the development of the country’s higher education system for the long term. The features of developing a strategy for the development of higher education are defined, and the hierarchy of levels of the strategy system is presented in relation to the strategy for the development of domestic higher education.Discussion: the strategy proposed for adoption should reflect the state and prospects of development of the higher education system, with the definition of Russia’s position in the world educational space, current challenges and threats facing higher education, identify strategic priorities, goals and objectives, mechanisms and stages of implementation of the strategy, propose scenarios for the development of the higher education system, identify sources of resources for the implementation of the strategy, expected results and monitoring of its implementation.Conclusion: it is noted that various state programs, national, Federal and priority projects, and action plans related to the development of the higher education system are being developed and approved in the country. However, there is no key strategic planning document — the Strategy for the development of the higher education system in Russia for the long term (for example, until 2030). In this regard, it is very relevant to develop and adopt this strategy, which undoubtedly takes into account the historically established traditions and features of the national higher school.

The Problem of Shaping the Capacity of Sovereign Powers of a State in the Digital Age
Authors: Korostelev S. V.
Published: October 2020

The global architecture of computer networks poses a security dilemma: while modern information and communication technologies allow adversaries to challenge the exclusive power of states over “his own” cyberspace, following traditional notions of sovereignty, respectively, may limit the ability of states to actively counter challenges and threats in global networks. The aim of the study is to determine the possible scope of application of the traditional territorial concept of sovereignty to the activities of states in cyberspace. The article shows that regarding the activities of states and individuals in cyberspace, the scope of the principle of sovereignty is determined by the practical imperatives of states and depends on the sphere of interstate and cross-border interactions affected. Therefore, for example, for the purposes of warfare, there are three levels at which objects for destruction will be determined: physical network, logical network, network user. Other criteria are important for developers, operators and network analysts, and, according to a number of proposals, a global network can include up to seven levels (physical, data transfer, network, transport, session, data, applications). The article demonstrates that despite the exceptional nature of the powers and jurisdictions of the state in relation to the physical level of cyberspace, its logical and social levels are open to cross-border manifestations of the jurisdiction of other states on the basis of the proximity criterion. That is, for those cases when states can establish a real connection with digital objects or online personalities, and, accordingly, exercise authority.
The Five Focusing Steps of the Theory of Constraints: Problems of Application in Strategic Analysis
Authors: Nechitaylo I. A.
Published: October 2020

Objectives. We identify and investigate circumstances that limit an application of the Five Focusing Steps of the Theory of Constraints in the strategic analysis of investment projects effectiveness.Methods. The methods of factor analysis and financial mathematics including methods for evaluation real options are used.Results. It is shown that in some cases, an increase in business value can be created only by a combination of a number of investment projects, leading to consistent removal of constraints and arising of useful synergistic effects. It is also shown that a value of a project can be determined by changes in the strategy that the company will have the opportunity to make if project is implemented. In such cases, their evaluation without taking into account subsequent decisions may distort their true value.Conclusions and Relevance. We concluded that the main object of evaluation in strategic analysis should be a strategy as a series of future transformations, taking into account the real options generated by them. Therefore, the evaluation of single projects on the base of the Theory of Constraints can lead the rejection of valuable projects due to distortion of their true value. At the same time an application of the Five Focusing Steps in strategic analysis protect against investment in projects with negative net present value.
Social Policy Transformation and Business Environment Improvement: a Comparative Analysis Based on China and Russia
Authors: Xu Deyou
Published: October 2020

Over the past four decades, the economy and society of China and Russia have undergone transformation. Relevant social policies and business environments have constantly changed. So have the ways of interaction among governments, enterprises and citizens. In the relationship between government and citizen, China and Russia have walked different paths in choosing and adjusting social policies, but both have steadily improved people’s well-being. In the relationship between government and business, both countries have achieved significant improvements in business environment through supply-side reforms of public goods and institutions. The theoretical relationship between government and citizen and that between government and business are embodied in social policy and business environment in reality. However, the two are not parallel, but interact with each other and are nested in each other. The government plays a leading role, and its interaction with enterprise and citizen tests the governance systems and capabilities of Beijing and Moscow.
