Published: October 2020

Abstract. Nitrate pollution of freshwaters and methane emissions into the
atmosphere are crucial factors in deteriorating the quality of
drinking water and in contributing to global climate change. The n-damo (nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation), nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane
oxidation and the anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) represent
two microbially mediated processes that can reduce nitrogen loading of
aquatic ecosystems and associated methane emissions to the
atmosphere. Here, we report vertical concentration and stable-isotope
profiles of CH4, NO3-, NO2-, and
NH4+ in the water column of Fohnsee (lake in southern
Bavaria, Germany) that may indicate linkages between denitrification, anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), and anammox. At
a water depth from 12 to 20 m, a methane–nitrate transition
zone (NMTZ) was observed, where δ13C values of methane
and δ15N and δ18O of dissolved nitrate
markedly increased in concert with decreasing concentrations of
methane and nitrate. These data patterns, together with the results of
a simple 1-D diffusion model linked with a degradation term, show that
the nonlinear methane concentration profile cannot be explained by
diffusion and that microbial oxidation of methane coupled with
denitrification under anaerobic conditions is the most parsimonious
explanation for these data trends. In the methane zone at the bottom
of the NMTZ (20 to 22 m) δ15N of ammonium increased
by 4 ‰, while ammonium concentrations decreased. In
addition, a strong 15N enrichment of dissolved nitrate was
observed at a water depth of 20 m, suggesting that anammox
is occurring together with denitrification. The conversion of
nitrite to N2 and nitrate during anammox is associated with
an inverse N isotope fractionation and may explain the observed
increasing offset (Δδ15N) of 26 ‰
between δ15N values of dissolved nitrate and nitrite at a
water depth of 20 m compared to the Δδ15Nnitrate-nitrite of 11 ‰ obtained in
the NMTZ at a water depth between 16 and 18 m. The associated
methane concentration and stable-isotope profiles indicate that some
of the denitrification may be coupled to AOM, an observation supported
by an increased concentration of bacteria known to be involved in
n-damo/denitrification with AOM (NC10 and
Crenothrix) and anammox (“Candidatus
Anammoximicrobium”) whose concentrations were highest in the methane
and ammonium oxidation zones, respectively. This study shows the
potential for a coupling of microbially mediated nitrate-dependent
methane oxidation with anammox in stratified freshwater ecosystems,
which may be important for affecting both methane emissions and
nitrogen concentrations in lakes.

Sociogênese possível dos saraus: uma história de rupturas na cultura brasileira
Authors: Oliveira Lucas Amaral de
Published: October 2020

A partir de um resgate histórico-cultural, este artigo discute uma sociogênese possível do termo e da prática dos saraus literários em São Paulo, instâncias que funcionam, hoje, como catalisadores de vivências artísticas nas periferias brasileiras. Partindo de duas “narrativas de origem” dos poetas Binho e Sérgio Vaz – pioneiros do movimento da literatura marginal no contexto paulistano –, retomo a ideia e parte da história desse tipo de atividade nos salões europeus, verificando como ocorreu a sua transposição para a rotina artística nacional, processo que esteve intermediado por mecenas e membros da elite cafeeira. Esses salões/saraus fomentaram um dos mais relevantes movimentos da história cultural do Brasil: o modernismo paulista. Meu argumento é que houve uma correlação entre o apogeu de salões artísticos na cidade de São Paulo, entre o fim do século XIX e o início do XX, a prosperidade de palacetes de uma burguesia agrário-industrial interessada nos benefícios da vida urbana, a eclosão de vanguardas no campo artístico nacional e o ciclo de industrialização por que passava o estado de São Paulo. Nesse contexto, os saraus acabaram constituindo espaços capazes de fundir a absorção de novas ideias oriundas da Europa com a defesa das artes nacionais, processo que ratificou desejos de mudanças no campo artístico e social da época.

Strong convergence theorems for strongly monotone mappings in Banach spaces
Authors: Aibinu Mathew O. , Mewomo Oluwatosin
Published: October 2020

Let $E$ be a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex real Banach space and $E^*$ be its dual space. Suppose $A : E\rightarrow E^*$ is bounded, strongly monotone and satisfies the range condition such that $A^{-1}(0)\neq \emptyset$. Inspired by Alber \cite{b1}, we introduce Lyapunov functions and use the new geometric properties of Banach spaces to show the strong convergence of an iterative algorithm to the solution of $Ax=0$.

Published: October 2020

In this paper, we examine the notion of the involute-evolute curves for the curves lying the surfaces in Minkowski 3-space E3 1 . We call these new associated curves as involute-evolute and by using the Darboux frame of the curves. We give the representation formulae for spacelike curves in Minkowski 3-space E3 1 and using this formulae we give some characterizations of these curves. Besides, we find the relations between the normal curvatures, the geodesic curvatures and the geodesic torsions of these curves.

Artificial neural networks simulating oat grain yield throughout the crop cycle, can represent an innovative proposal regarding management and decision making, reducing costs and maximizing profits. The objective of the study is to develop biomathematical models via artificial neural networks, capable of predicting the productivity of oat grains by meteorological variables, nitrogen management and biomass obtained throughout the development cycle, making it possible to plan more efficient and sustainable managements. In each cultivation system (soybeans/oats; maize/oats), two experiments were carried out in 2017 and 2018, one for analyzing grain yield and the other for cutting every 30 days to obtain biomass. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design with four replications for four levels of N-fertilizer (0, 30, 60 and 120 kg ha-1), applied in the stage of the 4th expanded leaf. The use of the artificial neural network makes it possible to predict grain yield by harvesting the biomass obtained at any stage of oat development, together with the handling of the nitrogen dose and meteorological information during cultivation. Therefore, a new tool to aid the simulation of oat productivity throughout the cycle, facilitating faster decision making for more efficient and sustainable management with the crop.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a fast-growing cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Patients suffering from CKD almost always develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that is often treated with haemodialysis (HD). In this context, the quality of the nurse-patient relationship (NPR) plays a major role in supporting the quality of life (QoL) of HD patients. This study examined the relationship between quality of nurse behaviours and attitudes as perceived by HD patients and QoL of these patients.Methods: The study used a cross-sectional correlational design. The sample consisted of 140 patients recruited in 10 HD units in French-speaking Switzerland. The Caring Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale (CNPI-70) was used to assess the NPR, and the French version of the WHOQOL-Bref was used to evaluate different dimensions of QoL. Random-intercept linear regressions adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics were used to study the relationship between patient-perceived quality of nurse caring attitudes and behaviours and patient QoL.Results: Patients reported a high frequency of caring attitudes and behaviours from their attending nurses, except relative to the dimension of spirituality. All the dimensions of patient QoL were positively influenced by the caring factor composing the CNPI-70. In particular, nurse attention to patient dignity when providing support for basic human needs seemed to be a major factor in patient QoL.Conclusions: Quality of NPR is essential to improving patient QoL. Interventions need to be developed to support quality of NPR.
“All behaviour has meaning”: A qualitative exploration of dementia training of healthcare assistant students
Authors: Christianson Tracy M. , Hoot Tracy J. , McLelland Victoria , Morris Kimberly
Published: October 2020

Statement of the Problem: Nurses face a high level of risk of violence compared with other workers, with higher frequency towards those who are younger and less experienced. Risk of violence is similar for health care aides, and nursing students, with health care aides experiencing the highest rate of injury because much of their work and clinical practice is in long-term care settings where many residents are at risk for challenging behaviours due to cognitive changes. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effects Gentle Persuasive Approaches© (GPA) training had on health care assistant students’ knowledge and ability to care for patients who have the potential for responsive behaviours. GPA is a training program recognized in Canada as best practice in the management of responsive behaviours of patients, providing learners with the skills to interact and intervene to diffuse escalating care situations. Methodology: A mixed-methods approach with a quasi-experimental, repeated measures design was used. Health care assistant (HCA) students received GPA training by certified faculty coaches prior to their clinical practice. Repeated measure questionnaires were administered pre-GPA, post-GPA, and post-clinical practice. Focus groups allowed students to reflect on how GPA prepared them for managing responsive behaviours post-clinical practice. Findings: The results demonstrate the effectiveness of offering evidence-based dementia training program while students are still in their educational program to better prepare them to provide person-centred care and keep themselves and their patients safe.

Authors: Haines A. J.
Published: October 2020

A computer package has been developed to predict the pattern of SH-wave amplitudes in the vicinity of an earthquake. The phase-front parabolic approximation, which can be applied where there are significant lateral variations in the elastic constants within the Earth, has been adapted so that it also allows for surface topography. Examples are presented from a study of shaking in the Hutt Valley and the surrounding region as a result of movement on the Wellington Fault.

Filosofia e psicoterapia no projeto da análise existencial de Viktor Frankl: a compreensão da pessoa espiritual a partir da transcendência
Authors: Meireles Marcos Vinícius da Costa
Published: October 2020

Esta tese, de caráter epistemológico, tem como objetivo demonstrar como a relação entre filosofia e psicoterapia contribui com o empreendimento da Análise Existencial frankliana, permitindo vislumbrar uma concepção de ser humano desde uma dimensão existencial. A relação com a filosofia se deu principalmente a partir das obras de Martin Heidegger, em especial Os fundamentos metafísicos da lógica (1928) e Seminários de Zollikon (1987). No tocante à bibliografia de Frankl, destaca-se Logoterapia e Análise Existencial (1967). Esta pesquisa teórico-bibliográfica está dividida em três momentos. No primeiro, buscou-se tematizar a relação entre filosofia e psicoterapia, a fim de compreender a Análise Existencial. O segundo capítulo, partindo de uma crítica à epistemologia psiquiátrica moderna, buscou perscrutar a antropologia filosófica proposta por Frankl com vistas ao itinerário de reabilitação da dimensão espiritual. Por fim, buscou-se explicitar o fenômeno da transcendência como constituição essencial do ser humano.

Published: October 2020

The paper investigates the impact of different factors on the establishment and development of social enterprises (SPs). The aim of this paper is to identify the key stimulants and restrictions of development of SPs in the Republic of Serbia, and to propose measures, the application of which can increase their long-term sustainability. The paper is based on exploratory research using data covering 27 interviews with founders of social enterprises in the Republic of Serbia. By applying the methods of regression analysis, it was found that favorable financial resources (especially grants) are the key stimulants for the establishment of social enterprises, while the enthusiasm of managers of social enterprises has the greatest impact on their development. It was found also that legal regulations and the macroeconomic environment, as well as difficulties in accessing the market, are serious restrictions on the establishment of social enterprises, while lack of knowledge in the field of marketing and management limit the development of social enterprises in the Republic of Serbia.
Populism and foreign policy: An assessment and a research agenda
Authors: Lammers Wouter , Onderco Michal
Published: October 2020

Populist parties are often seen as a threat to liberal democracy domestically, and in the international arena, they are often accused of unwillingness to support a liberal international order. We study how what we know about foreign policy preferences of populist parties is driven by how we study the phenomenon; and how we can fix the shortcomings which exist in the literature. To sketch a future research agenda, we first conduct a systematic review of the literature on the foreign policy views of populist parties in Europe and investigate how what we know is driven by how we know it. We look at the themes of foreign policy, research methods, as well as the parties and countries in researchers' focus. Our findings indicate that skewed focus on particular countries and parties combined with a uniform use of methods contributes to a lack of detailed understanding of populist views on foreign policies. We propose future avenues of research into the foreign policy views of populist parties, including a diversification of methods and more in-depth empirical and cross-national studies on specific themes.
Social responsibility in the application of integrated marketing communication
Authors: Krivokuća Milan
Published: October 2020

Modern business entities that operate independently or are integrated within modern market-oriented systems interact with the environment in which they operate. By promoting social values and norms, companies achieve a significant competitive advantage over companies in their field, increasing their market share, which results in an increase in the total profit of a particular company. Business entities have a major role in developing and nurturing activities related to social responsibility, especially in the field of environmental protection and the provision of satisfactory quality products and services. The aim of this paper is to point out and present changes in socially responsible behavior in relation to trends in the marketing environment.
Leadership lessons: The Cuban Revolution and the creation of a myth called Che Guevara
Authors: Savić Verica , Milad Marine
Published: October 2020

Ideas and concepts that enable us to analyze the genesis and path of Ernest "Che Guevara" as icons were primarily set by Panofsky, Martin Kemp and Bart. The first understands iconology as the meaning of a certain image in relation to the different social, historical and geographical contexts of the observer. According to Martin Kemp, the icon can be defined as a phenomenon that has reached an extraordinary degree of recognizability and prevalence, which has acquired diverse and numerous connotations through different epochs and cultures, transcending its original meanings and functions. The concepts of denotation and connotation, especially as Bart developed them, represent an important tool in discovering the meaning that the character of Che Guevara gained over time.

População em perigo: rios urbanos e áreas vulneráveis a inundações – o caso do município de União dos Palmares, Alagoas, Brasil
Authors: Lidemberg de Sousa Lopes José , Lourenço Domingos Leandra
Published: October 2020

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo mensurar as áreas vulneráveis no município alagoano de União dos Palmares, em decorrência da enchente no ano de 2010, através do diagnóstico ambiental do Rio Mundaú. Na pesquisa foram utilizadas informações bibliográficas sobre as temáticas abordadas, levantamentos de matérias publicadas na imprensa local e nacional sobre essa inundação e, paralelamente, foram coletados dados junto à Secretaria Municipal de Meio Ambiente e à Secretaria Estadual de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos. O levantamento das áreas afetadas foi realizado mediante visitas em campo, nas quais foram realizadas entrevistas para saber até onde as águas atingiram e, com a utilização de GPS, foram coletados os pontos para a confecção do mapa de área afetada pelo transbordamento da água do Rio Mundaú. A ferramenta do mapeamento foi a resposta que os pesquisadores produziram para contribuir com a gestão pública municipal, visto que o planejamento territorial do município está desalinhado em relação ao plano diretor e ao código de postura, sendo que esses documentos não fazem menções sobre áreas ribeirinhas, proibindo, por exemplo, essas áreas de uso e ocupação por qualquer tipo de edificação, seja de moradia ou de comércio.

O coração vulnerável: a masculinidade negra do sujeito periférico brasileiro cantada pelos Racionais MC’s, em Jesus Chorou
Authors: Da Silva Parreira Gaia Ronan , Da Silva Vitória Alice , Aparecida Silva Cristina , Scorsolini-Comin Fabio
Published: October 2020

Expressões artísticas como o rap são capazes de ecoar as mais distintas vozes que se interseccionam na sociedade e permitem trazer à arena discursiva inúmeras questões sociais candentes. A canção Jesus chorou, do grupo Racionais MC’s foi empregada neste estudo visando a uma análise social crítica, na medida em que narra complexos contextos do cotidiano de brasileiros vulnerabilizados e historicamente marginalizados e/ou compreendidos de maneira demasiadamente reducionista sob um olhar “estrangeiro”. A partir da divisão da canção em cinco partes, adotou-se uma contextualização endoperspectivada dos ambientes trazidos nas metáforas dos versos compostos por Mano Brown. A análise salienta a figura do homem negro periférico em termos do seu sofrimento psíquico derivado de uma estruturação socioeconômica, cultural e histórica excludente, além da questão da masculinidade e emocionalidade negra na sua construção identitária e no seu desenvolvimento social e familiar. Problematizações acerca desses lugares ocupados pelo homem negro periférico são endereçadas ao longo do estudo, reforçando a narrativa poética do rap como recurso potente de visibilidade, resistência e autoria coletiva.

Educación artística y el desarrollo de competencias interculturales: una propuesta para el fortalecimiento de la diversidad cultural en la enseñanza básica chilena
Authors: Mela Contreras José
Published: October 2020

El presente artículo plantea el desarrollo de competencias interculturales, a través de la Educación Artística, para el fortalecimiento de capacidades y actitudes que tiendan a una mayor valoración y promoción de la diversidad cultural en la educación básica chilena. La UNESCO recomienda fomentar una educación basada en competencias interculturales transversales, mediante la experiencia estética y expresión artística, potenciando el diálogo, la reflexión, la sensibilidad y la empatía hacia la diversidad cultural, étnica y sexual que compone la sociedad actual. La visión de la UNESCO es relevante en países como Chile que presentan un sistema educativo con profundas desigualdades sociales y negativos índices de discriminación hacia la diversidad cultural, étnica y de minorías sexuales. Consideramos fundamental potenciar el rol que puede cumplir la Educación Artística para contrarrestar la desigualdad, discriminación y exclusión social desde una perspectiva crítica, divergente y creativa. Se proponen algunas recomendaciones sobre el uso de lenguajes artísticos basados en el arte contemporáneo para construir relaciones intergrupales más armónicas entre las y los estudiantes, fortaleciendo el diálogo, una sensibilización hacia la diversidad y una mayor empatía hacia la diferencia.
Can on-farm animal welfare explain relative production differences between dairy herds?
Authors: Frondelius L , Jauhiainen L , Niskanen O , Mughal M , Sairanen A
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate factors responsible for between-herd variation in milk production, when genetic variation is controlled. Quantitative information regarding farms’ production environment and animal welfare, as evaluated annually by veterinarians and health and feeding records, were the factors studied. Principal component analysis was used to reduce the production environment variables as well as the welfare data. Two linear regression models were devised. The first model used welfare indicators and veterinary treatments to predict the difference between herds’ observed and potential milk yield. The second model explained the residual of the first model by feeding and animal-based indicator data. Together, these two models explained 62% of the variance in milk yield differences between herds. Specifically, feeding of the herd was the most important factor, accounting for 67%, followed by the production environment/animal welfare (30%) and finally animal health, assessed through veterinary treatments, explained the remaining 3% of the variance. A poor welfare rating adversely affected milk production. Similarly, a low score for fatness at slaughter, poor milk quality and high mortality all showed a clear negative association with production. It was found that while feeding remains a major factor, production environment and animal welfare also have significant roles to play when it comes to production. Notably, those farms with major animal welfare problems were shown to display milk yield below the Finnish average.

Collaborative work on an online platform in video-mediated homework support
Authors: Melander Bowden Helen , Svahn Johanna
Published: October 2020

This study concerns the interactional work involved in the accomplishment of video-mediated homework support and is based on a single case analysis of an instructional encounter between a tutor and an upper-secondary student working together on mathematical assignments. In addition to communicating through video, the participants use an online digital platform that constitutes a shared workspace and interface between the participants, who are situated in geographically disparate locations. A crucial feature of the setting is the unequal distribution of epistemically rich artefacts, such as the maths book, to which the tutee has sole access. Drawing on ethnomethodology and multimodal interaction analysis, the analyses show how the interaction is shaped by and contingent upon the affordances of the online platform and the particular circumstances of the video-mediated setting. The findings reveal how the participants work together to establish shared points of reference from which they embark on collaborative problem-solving trajectories while establishing the problem to be worked upon and its interpretation, as well as negotiating proper presentations of solutions. Additionally, the way in which the participants overcome the interactional and epistemic challenges implicated by the unequal access to crucial epistemic resources is shown.
Influence of Dry Port Establishment on Regional Development Through Regional Development Index
Authors: Lovrić Ivica , Bartulović Dajana , Steiner Sanja
Published: October 2020

The goal of the Regional Development Policy of the Republic of Croatia is to contribute to the identification of priority activities that would strengthen the development potential of all Croatian regions, reduce regional disparities, strengthen and build the development potential of less developed parts of the country. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the effect of establishment of a new dry port on regional development through increased development index. Details of regional development index calculation are presented in the paper, and an example of the calculation containing the actual data for the regions/counties of the Republic of Croatia is given. A simulation of regional development index calculation in case of establishment of a new dry port was run and presented. The simulation of development index increase as a result of dry port establishment in the town of Vinkovci in the Vukovar-Srijem County was conducted. Vinkovci was chosen primarily owing to its favourable geographic position in the TEN-T network connecting Croatia with various destinations through the Orient East-Med Corridor or Rhine-Danube Corridor, existing infrastructure that can be used for new dry port terminal, and the fact that Vukovar-Srijem is one of the most undeveloped regions (counties) in Croatia. The results have shown that the regional development index would increase in the region/ county of dry port establishment. The contribution of this research is that the paper proves the influence of dry port establishment on regional development, with emphasis on the number of newly employed persons and the effect thereof on regional development index indicators.
Analysis of Female Interest in Maritime Education at Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy Varna and at the Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Split
Authors: Belev Blagovest , Jelić Mrčelić Gorana , Jurić Zdeslav , Karin Ivan
Published: October 2020

The promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment is one of the main goals of the United Nations. The aim of this study is to analyze the gradual change of conservative perceptions about the role of women in shipping. Maritime education and training institutions are fully involved in the process. The Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy and the Split University’s Faculty of Maritime Studies are a part of this process of general change in human attitude towards the acceptance of women on merchant ships. Data on female admittance and graduation are collected by both academies. In the period examined, i.e.  2012 – 2018, 129 women were enrolled at and 60 graduated from the NVNA. 281 women were enrolled at and 68 graduated from the Faculty of Maritime Studies. The attitudes of female candidates at the academy Nikola Vaptsarov were studied by means of a questionnaire. The growing number of female candidates at Nikola Vaptsarov’s Navigation, Ship Engineering and Electrician studies proves that a competitive environment was created on a completely new basis, namely the ability of women to work at an equal footing with men in a purely male-dominated profession.

The subject of this article is certain anti-corruption trends that utilize digital technologies and can be taken into account in setting the priorities of anti-corruption legal policy of the Russian state. The author examines new opportunities for corruption prevention in the conditions of systematic implementation of information and communication technologies in the area of public administration. The goal of this work is to outline new opportunities for corruption prevention using digital technologies in public administration and various spheres of social life. The scientific novelty lies in the generalization and comprehensive analysis of digital technologies in the area of corruption prevention. The conclusion is made that the new digital technologies create unprecedented opportunities for modification of the model of anti-corruption policy, shifting the focus from administrative, criminal and other mechanisms of bringing to responsibility the participants of corruption relations to the benefit of development of the mechanisms for technical incapability, economic insolvency and inexpediency of corruption actions, ties and relationships. The information and communication technologies on their own are the tool of legal policy; not self-standing and without reference to the general principles of corruption prevention, they are able to generative destructive occurrences of technocratic bureaucracy, totalitarian political control, and systemic violations of human rights and freedoms.
Improvement of the current model of e-commerce tax administration in the Russian Federation
Authors: Mitin Dmitry Alekseevich
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the problems faced by the tax authorities of the Russian Federation in the tax administration of e-commerce, and possible ways to solve them. The subject of the study is approaches to improve the current model of tax administration in the Russian Federation.The purpose of the article is to describe the new approaches and methods developed by the Author, the use of which can contribute to improving the effectiveness of the e-commerce tax administration model in the Russian Federation. Within the framework of the article, the author highlights the features of e-commerce, which currently do not allow tax authorities to apply existing models of tax administration. Taking into account the highlighted features, the author formulated proposals for the creation of an automated multifactor model of e-commerce tax administration using Blockchain technology. The scientific novelty of the work is expressed in the development of fundamentally new, previously unused approaches to the tax administration of e-commerce. One of such approaches is the use of the risk matrix of transactions on the accounts of individuals for the purposes of tax administration of e-commerce in the B2C segment. This matrix allows you to verify the reports submitted by organizations engaged in e-commerce, as well as to identify individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities without registration. Also, the article formulates proposals for the introduction of a model of tax administration using online platforms, through which the bulk of e-commerce currently occurs. In addition, the article reflects proposals for the development of the existing model of electronic document management, allowing tax authorities to introduce smart contract technologies, which are an integral part of the Blockchain network, into the process of tax administration.
Improvement of tax administration based on the requirements to marking of goods
Authors: Borovikova Elena Vladimirovna
Published: October 2020

The subject of this research is one of the most relevant vectors in the work of tax and other competent authorities – implementation of the procedure of digital marking of goods and creation of the unified verification base for the released products. The object of this research is the oversight system, in which the monitoring functions of commodity flow are divided between the competent authorities that also control the discharge of fiscal obligations and usage of cash trade mechanisms. Based on the acquired results, the author formulates the tasks solved in implementation of the marking of goods technology; structures the model of system interaction of the authorized state agencies on the questions of monitoring goods turnover; determines the role of fiscal control authorities in the new mechanism of administering sales relations; establishes the theoretical-methodological content of the effectiveness of digital marking of goods. Analysis is conducted on the law enforcement practice of administrative infractions with regards to mandatory requirements of the marking of goods. The author proposes the directions for the development of technologies for monitoring goods turnover and discharge of fiscal obligations by the counterparty. These recommendations along with the obtained results define the novelty of this research, substantiated by a relatively small experience in the area of marking technologies within the system of tax and operational administration of product turnover.
Investment tax deduction for corporate income tax as a promising tool for supporting innovative territorial clusters in Russia
Authors: Bakhshian Emma
Published: October 2020

The subject of the study is the investment tax deduction for corporate income tax as a tool for tax incentives for the development of innovative territorial clusters in Russia. The characteristic features of the cluster approach in the economy are noted. Special attention is paid to the federal programs of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation to support the development of innovative territorial clusters. The main advantages of tax incentives over other forms of state support for cluster development are highlighted. The benefits related to clusters available in the tax legislation are described. The analysis of the emerging regulatory framework of the subjects of the Federation on the investment tax deduction for corporate income tax is carried out. The conclusion is made about the importance of state support for the development of innovation clusters, which, in the conditions of termination of direct financing in the form of subsidies, can be carried out in the form of tax incentives for investment and innovation activity of cluster participants. The analysis of regional legislation revealed that the current structure of the investment tax deduction in some subjects of the Federation is "overloaded" not always with objective restrictions or overstated requirements, which significantly limit its availability to taxpayers and reduce its effectiveness. It is proposed to direct the benefits to the participants of innovative territorial clusters in their home regions, which, thanks to the synergetic effect generated in them, will lead to an increase in tax revenues of these regions in the future.

The formation of oligomers of the amyloid-β peptide plays a key role in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. We describe herein the investigation of disease-relevant small amyloid-β oligomers by mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry, revealing functionally relevant structural attributes. In particular, we can show that amyloid-β oligomers develop in two distinct arrangements leading to either neurotoxic oligomers and fibrils or non-toxic amorphous aggregates. Comprehending the key-attributes responsible for those pathways on a molecular level is a pre-requisite to specifically target the peptide's tertiary structure with the aim to promote the emergence of non-toxic aggregates. Here, we show for two fibril inhibiting ligands, an ionic molecular tweezer and a hydrophobic peptide that despite their different interaction mechanisms, the suppression of the fibril pathway can be deduced from the disappearance of the corresponding structure of the first amyloid-β oligomers.
CRUNC: a cryopreservation method for unencapsulated gemmae of Marchantia polymorpha
Authors: Takahashi Hitomi , Kodama Yutaka
Published: October 2020

Genetic modifications such as mutation and transformation are powerful tools to study the function of genes and proteins in the model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, but maintaining the resulting germplasm requires a practical, reliable method. Cryopreservation methods allow researchers to maintain mutant and transgenic lines of M. polymorpha. To date, two methods have been developed for cryopreservation of M. polymorpha gemmae: in the first method, unencapsulated gemmae are stored in liquid nitrogen at −­196 °C, and in the second method, encapsulated gemmae are stored in liquid nitrogen at −­196 °C or a deep freezer at −80 °C. In the present study, we developed a simple method named CRUNC (cr yopreservation of un en c apsulated gemmae), which can be used to store unencapsulated, dried gemmae of wild-type and transgenic M. polymorpha lines in liquid nitrogen and in freezers at −80 °C and −20 °C. Using the CRUNC method, we observed a high recovery rate (as high as 100%) and successful long-term (5 months) storage of the gemmae. Therefore, the CRUNC method is practical for maintaining valuable M. polymorpha germplasm.
