"Dementia encompasses a family of chronic-diseases that gradually causes permanent damage to the brain tissue. Its onset disproportionately affects elderly-individuals’ cognitive and motor abilities. Numerous studies have shown that continuous monitorization of the physiological parameters and activities of EPwD is of utmost necessity. It is commonly accepted that utilisation of Smart-Homes as an instance of Ambient-Assisted-Living technology can facilitate the care of EPwDs and improve the quality of their well-being. Smart-homes allow EPwD to lead independent and active lives. Outfitted with environmental and physiological sensors that allow patients to receive continuous, non-invasive, and seamless healthcare-service while staying in their convenient-home-environments, Smart-Homes can facilitate (1) remote monitoring of elderly patients’ homes and (2) efficient communication with traditional healthcare facilities. Significant ethical barriers impede the widespread adoption of Smart-House technology. Many Smart-Houses pose threats to the privacy, safety, and autonomy of elderly-residents. Constant dependence on ICT technology may also undermine EPwDs’ independence and leave them vulnerable to feelings of isolation and hopelessness. Acknowledgment and minimization of these ethical challenges are instrumental to boosting acceptance of Smart-House technology and addressing the primary-care needs of EPwDs. Although most existing Smart-House platforms fail to accommodate the specific requirements for elderly dementia care, few notable alternatives have emerged within the UK. This paper will review the effectiveness of Smart-Home technology on current dementia-care platforms in the UK, analyses significant ethical challenges associated with Smart-House technology use, and outline appropriate risk-mitigation proposals. All recommendations will be made in congruence with a public-health prevention-model. "
Artificial Intelligence, Robots and Bioethical Challenges

"The arrival of digital research, where the object of research is transformed into numerical data, makes it possible to study the world and medicine, using new epistemological paradigms. What matters now is only the correlation between two quantities of data, with no concern for any consistent theory that explains such correlation. Today these correlations are used to predict with acceptable accuracy. What seems to be the outcome of this new revolution is the dominance of information, a conceptual labyrinth whose most common definition is based on an equally problematic category-data. The technological evolution of information and of the world seen as a series of data takes its concrete form in artificial intelligence (AI) and in robots. We are now able to construct machines that can make autonomous decisions and coexist with human beings. And in the context of healthcare it is possible to develop diagnostic approach, prescribe medication (see IBM Watson Program) or offer radiosurgery systems like Cyberknife. Contemporary society presents extremely delicate challenges where the most important variable is not intelligence but rather the little time available in which to make a decision. Here, cognitive mechanisms can have important applications. A series of anthropological and bioethical reflections can help to understand the challenges in the healthcare field: “Is it clear how this logic of hyper-individualization, governed by the use of artificial intelligence, will undermine the humanistic need for solidarity in this in deeds and mindset, in favor of private relationships between individuals and organizations?” (E. Sadin). "
Ethical Issues Relating to Prenatal Genetic Testing

"Introduction: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a rapidly developing genomic technology that is constantly widening its scope and opening up new possibilities in reproductive medicine. Ten years after NIPT has been made commercially available, it is increasingly entering routine antenatal care as either a first- or second-tier test. In England, France and Germany, for example, NIPT has been made available free-of-charge as a second-tier test to women with a higher chance of common chromosomal anomalies. The clinical implementation of NIPT carries benefits but also raises important ethical questions. Our project analyses these questions within their specific contexts in England, France and Germany. Methods: As part of a wider research project, which will involve qualitative methods, we conducted a document analysis to compare arguments about, and regulations governing NIPT in the three countries in: law and policy document; public reports; medical press; academic literature; and media. Results: Despite the similarities between the three countries to offer NIPT as a second-tier screening tool, they exhibit differences with regard to their public discourses about prenatal genomics, screening policies, the risk-thresholds they use, professional regulations and laws. These differences have an impact on the way ethical issues emerge, and questions about the meaning of health, illness and disability, the scope of public health interventions, social inclusion and exclusion as well as reproductive choice are approached in each country.

Commercial Mhealth Apps and Exploitative Value Trade-Offs
Authors:   PhD candidate, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, Rossmaier Leon ,   E-mail: l.w.s.rossmaier@utwente.nl
Published: September 2021

"Mobile health (mHealth) apps are becoming progressively important for primary care, disease prevention, and public health interventions. They promise to empower its users by offering them more independence, better access to health services, and more insight into their health status resulting in better informed medical decision-making and lifestyle changes. Disadvantages of mHealth apps often include a lack of privacy protection, a decrease in personal attachment, and the acceptance of a normative conception of health challenging the user’s self-determination. Privacy, attachment, and self-determination are, alongside health, linked to fundamental dimensions of human well-being. Users of mHealth apps can either accept those disadvantages or abstain from using this technology entirely. Users, therefore, have to trade-off fundamental dimensions of well-being to gain a certain health benefit if they want to use commercial mHealth apps. This presentation will clarify the values most relevant in this context, focusing on privacy, self-determination, and attachment. I claim that these values imply fundamental conditions of well-being that should not be undermined, especially in the context of health care. I will argue that the value trade-offs users must engage in are an instance of mutually advantageous agreements by which the provider of the app takes unfair advantage of the user. This renders such agreements exploitative. I will discuss the notion of exploitation that I think applies in this case and explain under what circumstances exploitative agreements that come with the use of commercial mHealth apps oppose the empowerment narrative.

The use of impedance aggregometry to evaluate platelet function after the administration of DDAVP in healthy dogs treated with aspirin or clopidogrel
Authors: Yankin Igor , Carver Andy M. , Koenigshof Amy M.
Published: September 2021

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effect of 1-Desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP; desmopressin acetate) on platelet aggregation in healthy dogs receiving aspirin or clopidogrel.

ANIMALS

7 healthy staff-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

In this randomized double-blinded crossover study, impedance aggregometry was performed on samples of lithium-heparinized whole blood samples from dogs before (T0) treatment with aspirin (1 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h for 4 days; ASP group) or clopidogrel (1 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h for 4 days; CLP group) and then before (T1) and after (T2) treatment with DDAVP (0.3 µg/kg, IV, once). There was a 14-day washout period before the crossover component. Aggregometry was performed with 4 different assays, each of which involved a different agonist reagent to stimulate platelet function: ADP, thrombin receptor activating peptide-6, arachidonic acid, or collagen type 1.

RESULTS

Median results for platelet aggregometry with agonist reagents ADP, arachidonic acid, or thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 significantly decreased between T0 and T1 for the CLP group; however, no meaningful difference in platelet aggregation was detected in the ASP group. Results for platelet aggregometry did not differ substantially between T1 and T2 regardless of treatment group or assay.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings suggested that administration of DDAVP may have no effect on platelet aggregation (measured with platelet aggregometry) in healthy dogs treated with clopidogrel. Because no inhibition of platelet aggregation was detected for dogs in the ASP group, no conclusion could be made regarding the effects of DDAVP administered to dogs treated with aspirin.
МОТИВ ІСТОРИЧНОЇ СЛАВИ В ПОЕТИЧНІЙ ТВОРЧОСТІ Т. ШЕВЧЕНКА
Authors: ГУДИМА Анна
Published: September 2021

У статті йдеться про мотив історичної слави в поезіях Т. Шевченка, один із домінантних для раннього періоду творчості митця. Згідно з Т. Шевченком, українська слава виявляється в козацький період історії України, а її творцем є козацтво. Тоді як історики найбільш славним своїми здобутками звично визнають період Хмельниччини, поет уникає згадування імені Б. Хмельницького у цьому контексті, асоціюючи особу гетьмана із сумно- звісною Переяславською угодою 1654 р. Натомість, розвиваючи мотив козаць- кої слави, поет виводить постаті Тараса Трясила («Тарасова ніч», 1838), Івана Підкови («Іван Підкова», 1839) – козацьких ватажків періоду до Хмель- ниччини, витворює образ Гамалії («Гамалія», 1842). Періодом козацької слави Т. Шевченко називає Коліївщину («Гайдамаки», 1839–1841). Отже, досліджу- ємо критерії, які дали змогу Т. Шевченкові звеличити гайдамаччину до періоду козацької слави. На матеріалі поезій з’ясовуємо підстави козацької слави. Козацтво зображується як рятівна для України та її народу воїнська сила, здатна чинити відсіч ворогам, як сила, спрямована на захист рідної православної віри, а також як сила, що становить моральну опору нації. Спорідненим козацькій славі постає поняття козацької волі. Зауважуємо зв’язок між поняттями «козацька слава», «Гетьманщина» і «панування». Звертаємо увагу на відмінності дискурсу могили як символу козацької слави в різні періоди творчості митця. У наступні періоди творчості Т. Шевченка тема козаччини, як правило, не пов’язується автором із мотивом слави, а розкривається в інших ракур- сах. Якщо в ранній період ідеться про відсіч ворогові в минулому, то в період «трьох літ» козацьке минуле Т. Шевченко осмислює у зв’язку з різними виявами загальноукраїнської розрухи свого часу, породженої поневоленням України Російською імперією. Найяскравіше мотив історичної слави в період «трьох літ» реалізується в посланні «І мертвим, і живим…» (1845) через заклик поета осмислити події минулого і позбутися луди. Поет говорить про спадкоємність минулої слави – від дідів, славних лицарів, до онуків, їхніх нащадків. І наголошує на тому, що стати спадкоємцем дідівської слави можна лише через знання минулого.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПЕРЕКЛАДАННЯ АНГЛІЙСЬКОМОВНИХ ПРИСЛІВ’ЇВ І ПРИКАЗОК
Authors: ГЛАВАЦЬКА Юлія
Published: September 2021

Стаття зорієнтована на вивчення та опис особливостей перекладання англійськомовних текстів малого жанру, до яких відносять приказки та прислів’я. Тексти малого жанру відіграють чималу роль у накопиченні й передачі колективного досвіду з покоління в покоління, тому вони постають культурно-маркованими текстами, позаяк крізь їхню призму можна проникнути в образ мислення нації, а також подивитися на світ очима її представників. У статті охарактеризовано особливості та труднощі відтворення англійськомовних приказок і прислів’їв українською мовою. Серед способів відтворення англійськомовних прислів’їв і приказок виокремлено: переклад за допомогою фразеологічного еквівалента, фразеологічного аналога, калькування, описовий переклад, переклад за допомогою «псевдодослівного» відповідника. Під час перекладання англійськомовних паремій українською мовою не завжди можливо передати зміст та образ, який утілено у тексті оригіналу; це також стосується й лексичної та граматичної структур. У зв’язку із цим перед перекладачем виникають певні складнощі щодо відтворення національного забарвлення, образу (його емоційного та експресивного колориту) тощо. Низка труднощів, яка постає перед перекладачем, також щільно корелює з браком мовного еквівалента в мові перекладу, різницею між емоційним забарвленням символу (образу) у двох зіставлюваних мовах, а також із несхожістю в сенсі етноспецифічності, адже перекладачеві потрібно, з одного боку, зберегти загальний національний тон, а з другого, – не вдатися до певного перебільшення. Відтворюючи англійськомовні паремії, потрібно також не забувати про основні правила перекладання лексичних засобів: орієнтованість на контекст, словниковий арсенал; дотримання стилістичної спрямованості; вживання стійких фразеологізмів; вибір лексичної одиниці, яка найточніше б віддзеркалила реальність, закарбовану в тексті оригіналу.
The power of philosophy, the philosophy of power
Authors: Majcherek Janusz A.
Published: September 2021

Selfless search for truth does not only make sense of philosophy and science, but also involves participating in a competition between rival theories and hypotheses. Truth is not an ultimate criterion in this process, especially after Michel Foucault revealed its inclinations towards violence. Questioning the position of truth opens the door to different criteria, among them - power. Using the argument of power in philosophical disputes and scientific controversies has a long tradition and nowadays with the unprecedented development of technology it has been offered new tools.

Published: September 2021

The state's interest in the blogosphere has been around for a long time. In 2014, the so-called law on bloggers was introduced, which, according to the FOM, is known to about 1/3 of the population (28%). However, in 2017, it ceased to operate, as the government considered it not effective. In this regard, the topic of the study is the study of the possible consequences of this innovation and the attitude of young people to them. Within the framework of the study of bloggers and their possible professionalization, approaches to blogging are determined, factors, conditions and attitudes to this phenomenon as a labor activity are identified. The authors of the study used a scheme that can operationalize " professionalization "as a strategy chosen by members of a professional group to exercise control over working conditions through" exclusionary social closure in countries with market economies and pluralistic social environments. Considering the theoretical works on this issue, the authors were able to identify several of the most significant stages of professionalization.
"Atlantis of soviet art": paradigma post non-classikal
Authors: Burlina Elena
Published: September 2021

The fundamental work of Professor G. G. Dadamyan "Atlantis of Soviet Art" is an interdisciplinary university course. The scientist taught it for many years at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS – the largest theater university in Europe, founded in 1878). This course was also a great success in other higher educational institutions. The materials of this unique research are regularly reproduced both at universities and at scientific conferences in memory of Professor Dadamyan, in Moscow. The author of this article has been cooperating with these institutions for many years, as well as with colleagues and students of the outstanding scientist. The article deals with the methodological approaches of the book by G.G. Dadamyan, which are fruitful and relevant for the interdisciplinary analysis of artistic culture. G. G. Dadamyan examines the period between 1917 and 1932 in the book "Atlantis of Soviet Art". He divides it into several paradigms. According to G. G. Dadamyan, each paradigm is based on the unity and interpenetration of political, genre, and space-time matrices. Proposed by G. G. The Dadamian methodology allows you to synchronize different aspects of culture. One of the goals of the proposed article is also to draw attention to the original methodology of G. G. Dadamyan. It allows us to compare the Russian avant-garde and socio-political processes in a multi-layered social time. In this article, the hypothesis is put forward that the paradigms, according to Dadamyan, are comparable with the natural-scientific approaches of post-non-classical studies. The unique concept of Professor G. G. Dadamyan deserves to be promoted on the world scientific podiums.

The Disintegration of Yugoslavia: An Analysis of Globalization Effects on Union and Disintegration of Yugoslavia
Authors: Bobinac Una
Published: September 2021

The purpose of writing this project is to identify the influence globalization had in two most important parts of Yugoslavia: its formation as well as its fragmentation. The effects of this ongoing process range from direct intervention in the breakup of Yugoslavia to more indirect influence in its formation. This research strongly centers on previously established and well accepted theories of globalization to illustrate the consequences globalization had on Yugoslavia specifically. Throughout the research, the concept of critical globalism emerges as the prevailing method in the attempt to explain the events that took place in this region. The findings and conclusions may prove to be a useful in the interpretation of Yugoslavia's history not through a region-centric lens but through a more global understanding.
“The Hitchcock Touch”: Visual Techniques in the Work of Alfred Hitchcock
Authors: Driscoll Paige
Published: September 2021

Since his beginning as a filmmaker in Britain, Alfred Hitchcock has become a household name not only in Britain and, later, the United States, but also internationally. Hitchcock’s unique auteur style has made his name recognizable even if one has not personally viewed one of his many films. How is it, then, that Hitchcock has accumulated such a distinct and well-known style? Using examples from his films, the research of other Hitchcock experts, and cinematic technique and terminology resources, this article illustrates the way Hitchcock’s visual techniques have contributed to the creation of this auteur style. The visual techniques examined include lighting, camera movement, and visual story-telling technique, each demonstrated using specific examples from one or more of Hitchcock’s films. While Hitchcock’s audiences may be diverse in spoken and cultural language, visual communication is universal. The visual techniques Hitchcock employed are what made him the internationally recognized auteur that he is credited as today.
Chinese Educational Reforms: Transition of an International Powerhouse
Authors: Powell Jane
Published: September 2021

It has been almost everywhere in the media: The People's Republic of China has a powerhouse of an education system. Only a few years ago were Americans being bombarded with advertisement campaigns, outlining the vast disparity between American and European or Asian testing scores [AR1] [JP2] in math [AR3] [JP4] and science. Now, there is a new discussion. Although the current Chinese system is effective for producing excellent test scores, many project that the rigidity will eventually only hinder China, that a lack of encouragement and space for creativity in Chinese students’[AR5] [JP6] educational careers will result in a lack of creativity in their working careers, which is seen as a vital need in a growing, changing economy. There are many aspects of the current education system that are contributing to these issues, such as the emphasis on memorization, or the over-use of examination. This paper concludes that the most effective route of improvement will stem from further reforms to the teacher education system, through the consideration of educator relationships to the nature of Chinese education, individual students, and Chinese society as a whole.
Space transformations in the hagiographies (based on the materials of Uspensky Collection)
Authors: Ilin Boris Borisovich
Published: September 2021

Fragments of the text that represent the category of space in the Old Russian hagiographies from the Uspensky Collection became the sources for this research. The object this article is the contexts that depict spatial images in dynamics. The subject is the semantics of the analyzed contexts. The relevance of the selected topic is substantiated by undiminishing interest to the interpretation of the category of space in the Old Russian texts, as by elaboration of the concept of sanctity in studying the hagiographic literature. The goal of this research lies in determination and description of the semantics of spatial transformations in the analyzed hagiographic texts. Research methodology leans on the descriptive method, which includes observation, interpretation and classification; as well as hermeneutical analysis with consideration of anthropological and axiological approaches. The scientific novelty consists in revealing the new aspect of the category of space in the hagiographic texts – spatial transformations. The author highlights several groups that characterize space transformations in the hagiographies: semantics of construction, semantics of destruction, semantics of expansion, semantics of transfiguration, and semantics of the miraculous. The keynote in the hagiographies is the idea of sanctity, which is important for the interpretation of the transforming space. All changes in the physical world take place under the influence of divine intervention for asserting sanctity of the hero or sanctity of the place. The depicted in the hagiographies spiritual reality impact the state of visible spatial images. In addition to the idea of sanctity, the perception of space transformations is affected by pragmatics of the text – the edifying focus of the genre. The acquired results can be valuable in studying the corpus of hagiographic texts from perspective of the category of space.

Russian Empire in the second half of the XIX–early XX centuries gradually entered the era of modernization of political, economic and social institutions. The disintegration of the patriarchal family entailed a massive exodus of women to cities, which in turn turned out to be on the quantitative indicators of illegitimate births. Lack of funds for food, prompted mothers to leave the child to the mercy of fate. Statistical data is stating that the foundlings grew from year to year. By the end of the XIX century each issue of the periodical press, published in the territory of the Tauride province, contained several reports about foundlings. All children were sent to an orphanage. A wet nurse was assigned to the child, who was supposed to replace his mother. The direction of the research is to describe the patronage system in the Tauride province of the late XIX–early XX centuries

The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the daily life of female workers of the Ishim shoe factory No. 4 during the Great Patriotic War. To study the everyday life of women during the war years, the office documents of the factory and local authorities, as well as documents of personal origin, are used. The study is based on a historical and anthropological approach to the past. Descriptive method and oral history method are applied. The author comes to the conclusion that thanks to the efforts of women, who were the main labor force of the factory, in a short time the evacuated enterprise not only began to function in a new place, but also became a model for other enterprises of the Ishim region. The women not only over fulfilled the plan for sewing shoes, but also fully met the production needs of the enterprise: they prepared peat and firewood organized vegetable gardens and stored vegetables for the factory canteen. In addition, women were actively involved in social work taking care of the evacuees, collecting money, food and warm clothes for the needs of the front. Along with the development of new social roles by women, they retained their traditional responsibilities related to maintaining a home and raising children. Similar transformations in the social behavior of women occurred against the background of a deterioration in living conditions, a reduction in living standards, a lack of nutrition, and complications of the epidemiological situation. With the complication of her social roles, a woman during the war years carried an important social function associated with the creation of a special spiritual atmosphere, simultaneously reconciling with the brutal military reality and maintaining the hope of a return to peacetime

Published: September 2021

Following the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018 and the reimposition of economic sanctions, Iran witnessed public unrest that threatened the survival of the regime. Throughout its history, the Iranian regime has deployed various intricate internal and external strategies that have worked separately at times, and overlapped at others, to secure the regime against threats and guarantee its survivability. It is important to discover the strategies the Iranian regime has followed to survive the stifling crises it has faced since its establishment in 1979, in order to evaluate whether it will be able to survive its chronic economic crises. While the regime has purposely supported the Palestinian cause, strengthened its relations with non-state actors, and engaged in religious discourses on an external level, it has also achieved militarization and securitization, populated unelected governmental institutions with personnel loyal to its clerical and military institutions rather than qualified persons and pursued legitimacy renewal on an internal level.
TİKA’s Heritage Restoration Projects: Examples of Foreign Aid or Proof of Neo-Ottomanism?
Authors: Todorović Miloš
Published: September 2021

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Turkey has been using the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) to gain soft power and increase its influence in the Balkans, Caucasia, and Central Asia. As Turkey’s focus is on countries that were once part of the Ottoman Empire, many have characterized this attempt as Neo-Ottomanism. Especially problematic is the fact that, over the years, TİKA has funded the restoration of numerous Ottoman monuments in these regions. Using Serbia as an example, this article explores whether such projects are proof of Turkey having a ‘Neo-Ottoman agenda’ of reviving Ottoman culture and exerting influence over former Ottoman territories, or just a way of Turkey gaining soft power through foreign aid.

A new perspective for the use of Al-Si alloys produced with recycled Al (with Fe>1%) in Gravity Die Casting (GDC) processes. To study the morphology of ß-Fe precipitates and the material’s mechanical properties were added the inoculate via Nb+B and the element Mg with subsequent heat treatment. The samples were cast in Al10Si1Fe0.35Mg alloy in a metal mould according to ASTM B108. The microstructure was analyzed with BSE-SEM and EDS. The work investigated the morphology of ß-Fe precipitates and their effects and interactions on the material’s mechanical properties. The combined effect resulted in reduced size and shape of ß-Fe precipitates, thereby improved higher yield strength (YS = 207.71 MPa), ultimate tensile strength (UTS = 300.35 MPa), and elongation of 4.66%, exceeding the strength and elongation limit values found in commercial alloys, such as ASTM A357 alloy, where the Fe content is low (max. 0.2%).
Axiological Attitudes in the Interpretation of the Rational and Irrational in the Works of Latin Apologetics Scholars
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Balandina R. R. , Kuzmina E. V. ,   Kazan Federal University
Published: September 2021

The article aims at demonstrating significant differences in the perception of rationality and irrationality in the works of ancient Greek philosophers and philosophers of the period of Latin apologetics. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of the works of ancient and Latin philosophers. The analysis revealed that the Greeks solved the problem of the ratio of the rational and the irrational in an ontological way, while the Latins shifted the focus on the problem to the axiological dimension. The article presents the correlation of three examples of ontological orientation of pagan philosophy with three examples of axiological orientation of Latin theology of the apologetic period. The research methodology is based on the combination of historical-functional and comparative analyses. The works of N. S. Mudragey, where the validity of the use of the concepts "rational" and "irrational" in relation to ancient philosophy was proved, provided the methodological basis of the study, as well as the works of G. G. Mayorov, who actually was the first to consider Latin apologetics as a system with a clear tendency from hellenophilia to hellenophobia. The works of ancient Greek philosophers provided the theoretical basis of the study, as well as the works of Lactantius, Arnobius, Tertullian, and Minucius.
Siberia in Conception of Greater Eurasia

Published: September 2021

The article analyzes the current state, potential benefits and opportunities for the Siberian macro-region within the framework of the concept of the formation of the space of Greater Eurasia announced by V.V. Putin in 2016. The analysis has been carried out on 4 main aspects – political-geographical, geostrategic, geo-economic, and institutional ones. The first one lies in amorphousness of the concept of Greater Eurasia. In its interpretations Siberia occupies a semi-peripheral place since the emphasis of the Greater Eurasian discourse is placed on international consolidation, primarily in the Central Asian region. In the context of integration processes one of the main obstacles is a significant differentiation of foreign policy strategies of the states forming the core of Greater Eurasia, and geopolitical interests of Siberia, which primarily consist in avoiding positioning itself as an export-resource region on the one hand, and competing for sales markets with other countries of Greater Eurasia on the other hand, which casts doubt on the consolidating role of this concept. Nevertheless, the geoeconomic role of Siberia can be improved due to the development of economic integration. The analysis of the level of redistribution and transportability of exports of the Siberian Federal District showed that it is the increased value component per unit of export weight that is observed in exports to countries with a high degree of economic integration. The fourth aspect is the lack of institutionalization of the Greater Eurasia initiative, as a result of which it cannot be effectively promoted, it is especially true about Siberian regions. Possible directions for improving this aspect have been proposed in the article.

The effect of anaemia [haemoglobin <11 g/dl] during pregnancy on preterm delivery was prospectively studied in 921 low-risk pregnancies. The association between anaemia and prematurity was measured at three different haemoglobin levels, early in pregnancy and during the third trimester. The risk of prematurity was higher with haemoglobin <9 g/dl in early pregnancy, followed by haemoglobin <10 g/dl during the same period;the least risk was recorded during the third trimester when haemoglobin was <10 g/dl. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, haemoglobin was the most important predictor of prematurity after controlling for other confounders. When applying the logistic predictive equation, a woman with all the significant risk factors included in the multivariate analysis had a 72% probability of giving birth to a preterm baby
