Analysis of Terms as an Instrument of Comparative Philosophy
Authors:   Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russian Federation, Kanaeva Nataliya
Published: January 2022

The article continues the polemics on the problems of interaction of philosophical cultures in the era of globalization, which was started at the meetings of the Round Table "Geography of Rationality". The author gives answers to critical questions, explains the methodology and principles of her work with Indian philosophical texts. A short research of the meta-term "cognitive subject" is an example of her methods. The analysis of cognitive subject aimed to justify the absence of the concepts of reason and rationality in Indian epistemic culture, the cornerstones of Western epistemic culture, since Modern times. The justification was carried out by comparing the generalized model of the cognitive subject, abstracted from the writings of empiricists and rationalists of the XVII–XVIII centuries, with the generalized models of the cognitive subject, reconstructed on the basis of authoritative writings of three variants of Indian epistemological teachings: Advaita Vedānta, Jainism and Buddhism. From the author's point of view, the absence of the concepts of reason and rationality in India leads to the non-classical problem of pluralism of epistemic cultures, and the exploration of the meta-term "cognitive subject" allows us to find, on the one hand, intersections in the contents of epistemologies in Indian philosophy and Western metaphysics of Modern times, and on the other, their incompatible contents, which are specific manifestations of pluralism of epistemic cultures. For her reconstruction of the cognitive subject models the author takes the principle of "double perspective" in combination with the methods of hermeneutical and logical analysis of philosophical terms. The principle determinates the consideration of the theoretical object from two sides: European and Indian. Having appeared in the Western epistemic culture, these methods effectively work to objectify the results of socio-humanitarian research, thanks to which they are becoming increasingly widespread among non-Western cross-cultural philosophers. When the author applies the method of logical analysis to justify the absence of the concepts of reason and rationality in India, she is guided by the rules of logical semantics and the principles of semiotics. The compared terms, Western and Indian, are considered as signs with their own meanings and senses. The senses are understood as sets of predicates important for solving the author’s task. The author of the article, taking into account the experience of famous philosophers, negatively assesses the possibility of solving the problem of unambiguously correct translation.

Published: January 2022

The article presents a comparative analysis of the dynamics of indicators of living standards of the population in the Novosibirsk region, the Siberian Federal District and the Russian Federation as a whole. The aim of the study is to determine how the indicators of the standard of living of the population of the Novosibirsk region relate to similar indicators for the Russian Federation and the Siberian Federal District and to identify the presence of general and special trends, patterns in changes during the period under review. Data from the Federal State Statistics Service, including data from its territorial bodies and data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation were used as an information base. At the initial stage of the study, the authors calculated the share of the population with monetary incomes below the subsistence level for the Siberian Federal District, since Rosstat does not consider this indicator for the level of federal districts, and a number of nominal indicators adjusted for real prices. The growth rate of all the indicators under consideration for the study period was then calculated. The work used a dynamics analysis and an approach based on a combination of statistical, systemic and comparative analysis methods. Based on the study, we can say that most indicators of the standard of living of the population for the Novosibirsk region correspond to the trends observed in the Russian Federation and the Siberian Federal District. In the case of some indicators, such as the level of employment, the incidence per 1000 people, etc., it can be stated that the growth rate is multi-directional compared to the Russian Federation and the Siberian Federal district. In general, the authors did not see any patterns in the dynamics of changes in indicators for NSOs. The study covers 2011-2018, with few exceptions.
According to Stalinist Templates: The Economic Strategy of Communist Construction in the Program Settings of the Khrushchev Leadership

The article is timed to the 60th anniversary of the XXII CPSU Congress, which has become an important milestone in the history of the late Soviet period. The 3rd programme of the CPSU was adopted on the Congress, which proclaimed that "the current generation of Soviet people will live under communism." The strategy for achieving this goal was justified as well. This article is devoted to the analysis of its economic aspects. The paper has four sections. In the first, the authors substantiate the need to identify the doctrinal continuity of the economic policy of late Stalinism and the time of Khrushchev’s “Thaw”. In the second section of the article, the authors note that traditional methodological approaches have many limitations in studies of this kind. Their non-critical use makes it difficult to find a response to the question of why the Khrushchev leadership failed to realise its ambitious plans. The authors see the solution of this issue in a comprehensive comparative analysis of the promotional ideologemes and practical policy. The main section outlines the results of the study. They are based on a detailed comparison of the main directions of creating a “material and technical basis” of communism contained in the Stalinist projects of the 3rd party programme and in Khrushchev’s version. As underlined, they are determined by a variety of dominant political myths and ideologemes in the public consciousness. At the same time, the practical policy was guided by completely different ideas and interests. In conclusion, it is stipulated that, with all the nuances, the economic “visions” that were reflected in the 3rd party programme were designed in accordance with patterns of the "Communist projections", formulated in Stalin’s epoch. They promised to build a society of universal benefits in the foreseeable future. However, in practice, the development of the economy, as before, was primarily focused on the expansion of military-industrial might. All other needs could be satisfied only in accordance with the "residual principle." This turned into a gap between the declarations of "steady increase of material well-being" of the population and reality. As a result, the strategy of the “communist construction” was discredited, and the authority of those in power was undermined.

The development of digital technologies creates the conditions for a new stage in the development and dissemination of audio culture. Radio plays have been replaced by audiobooks, audio podcasts, and audio series. The book market is experiencing an "audio explosion". There is a steady growth of interest in audiobooks, which compete with musical content. The authors of the article turn to the study of the current state of the culture of the "audible word". This article examines the audiobook reading of student readers, who were socialized under the conditions of the large-scale spread of digital technologies. The aim of the research: to consider audioreading in the context of leisure and educational practices of young people. The study is based on theoretical approaches that consider the phenomenon of audio consumption in modern media (V.Y. Bal', M.Y. Gudova, J.P. Melentieva, V. Erlmann, W. Hagen, A. Kassabian, J.F. Lehmann). The study examined students' perceptions of audiobook reading, its place in leisure and educational practices. The authors conducted a sociological study (December 2020) with the participation of 85 students in order to identify the perceptions of audiobook reading. Qualitative methodology of analysis of answers to open-ended questions was used for the study. The design questionnaire included questions on preferred types of reading, use of audiobook reading in educational and leisure practices, reasons for interest in audiobook reading and possibilities of audiobook reading as a type of educational content. The study identified students' preferences in the choice of book format (paper, electronic, audiobooks), students' ideas about the reasons for wide distribution of audiobooks, advantages and limitations of audiobooks, convenient contexts for daily life, practices of using audiobooks in educational and leisure activities. The authors consider the potential of audiobooks in the organization of educational and leisure activities of students.
ИНСТИТУТ ОБЩЕСТВЕННОГО КОНТРОЛЯВ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ РОССИИ: ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ СОЦИОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО ИЗУЧЕНИЯ
Authors: Петрулевич Ирина Анатольевна
Published: January 2022

Аннотация. Цель исследования: рассмотреть сложившийся в России институт общественного контроля, определить степень его развития и установить перспективы и практическую полезность его изучения в предметном поле социологии.

Методологическая база. Методологической основой исследования выступает неоинституциональное понимание общественных институтов как нормативно закрепленных правил поведения, которым индивиды следуют, опираясь на наиболее рациональный и одобренный обществом выбор. В эмпирическую базу исследования вошли исследования, проведенные ВЦИОМ и Мониторингом состояния гражданского общества.

Результаты исследования. Институт общественного контроля, если рассмотреть его в плоскости социологической предметности, достаточно противоречив и требует серьезного научного осмысления. На эффективность его работы влияет готовность жителей России применять его инструменты на практике. На это, соответственно, оказывают влияние два фактора: прогнозируемая эффективность и общественное одобрение применяемых действий. Результаты исследования показывают, что прогнозируемая эффективность низка, так как население не принимает инструменты общественного контроля, а его неприятие отчасти связано с непопулярностью в общественном мнении людей с активной гражданской позицией.

Перспективы исследования. В дальнейшем планируется провести количественные и качественные эмпирические исследования, направленные на верификацию представленных данных. Формат — массовый анкетный опрос по репрезентативной всероссийской выборке, экспертные и глубинные интервью с гражданскими активистами и представителями государственной власти.
Species complex of mosquitos captured by mechanical traps and an equine host
Authors: Clinton B Campbell , Daniel L Kline , Jerome A Hogsette , Saundra H TenBroeck
Published: January 2022

Field studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of commercially available mosquito traps to capture suspected West Nile Virus (WNV) vectors and compare the relative abundance, and species composition of mosquitoes captured by traps. Traps included the Mosquito Magnet (MM) Pro, MM-Liberty, MM-X, the CDC-1012, and the Home and Garden (HGM) prototype trap. In the first study, conducted at the University of Florida Horse Teaching Unit (HTU), Gainesville, FL, from May 17 to September 30, 2002, the CDC-1012 caught significantly more mosquitoes than the other traps. The HGM trap did not catch any mosquitoes and was replaced with a horse on July 17. Percentages of WNV vector species captured in traps and vacuumed from the horse, respectively, were Culex nigripalpus Theobald 85-91% and 27%, and Mansonia titillans (Walker) 2-5% and 40%. In the second study, performed for 5 days in April 2003, the MM-Pro, MM-X, and CDC-1012 traps caught significantly more mosquitoes than did the MM-Liberty trap. All traps captured primarily Cx. salinarius Coquillett, Cx. erraticus (Dyar and Knab), and Anopheles crucians Wiedemann. The horse attracted a greater percentage of Ma. titillans and less Cx. erraticus than did the mechanical traps. The mechanical traps may offer horses some degree of protection from suspected WNV species, however, a large number of Ma. titillans were recovered from the horse but the traps captured very few.

Collective modes of the gyrotropic motion of a magnetic vortex core in ordered arrays of triangular and square ferromagnetic film nanodots have been theoretically investigated. The dispersion relations have been derived. The dipole–dipole interaction of the magnetic moments of the magnetic vortex cores of elements has been taken into account in the approximation of a small shift from the equilibrium position. It is shown that the effective rigidity of the magnetic subsystem of triangular elements is noticeably higher than that of the subsystem of square elements of the same linear sizes. The potential application of the polygonal film nanodisks as nanoscalpels for noninvasive tumor cell surgery is discussed
Computer Modeling Deformation of Porous Elastoplastic Materials and Identification their Characteristics Using the Principle of Three-dimensional Similarity
Authors:   Nizhny Novgorod State Lobachevski University, Bazhenov Valentin G. , Zhestkov Maxim N.
Published: January 2022

It is proposed to numerically model large deformations of porous specimens, using the 3D- similarity principle in structural elements, which makes it possible to account for the inhomogeneity of the stress-strain state due to the presence of pores and allows one to vary the number of representa- tive volumes without changing porosity values and dimensions of the specimens. A methodology for determining true deformation diagrams of materials, using the results of compression tests, has been de- veloped. The efficiency of using the 3D-similarity principle is demonstrated by comparing the numerical and experimental results for the example analyzing compression of porous specimens of an aluminum alloy with free lateral surfaces and fixed in a rigid cartridge
Construction of Nonsingular Stress Fields for Non-Euclidean Model in Planar Deformations
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Guzev Mikhail A. , Riabokon Evgenii P.
Published: January 2022

A material with a microstructure is considered. A material is described on the basis of a non-Euclidean model of a continuous medium. In equilibrium, the total stress field is represented as the sum of elastic and self-balanced stresses, the parameterization of which is given through the scalar curvature of the Ricci tensor. It is proposed to use the spectral biharmonic equation to calculate the scalar curvature. Using the example of a plane strain state of a material, it is shown that the amplitude coefficients of elastic and self-balanced fields can be chosen so that singularities of the same type compensate each other in the full stress field

It was obtained aluminum hydroxide in the form of bayerite by precipitation with ammonia. The precipitation pH was found by the potentiometric titration. Based on the data of thermal, X‑ray diffraction and IR‑analysis it was identified the sequence of bayerite transitions up to 800 °C. The study of nitrogen adsorption- desorption allowed to determine a specific surface, a volume, and dimensions of pores for boehmite and γ- Al2O3 as 135±2 and 238±10 m2/g; 0.38 and 0.51 cm3/g; 1.7 and 3.8 nm, relatively. The value of effective activation energy for boehmite →γ- Al2O3 transition ((136±5) kJ/mol) was found by means of non- isothermal method (by Avrami equation)
Agents of Change in the Domestic Built Environment
Authors: Kostourou Fani
Published: January 2022

As our cities age, a large number of spatial structures experience physical change. A better understanding of what this process may entail and the agents involved in it can extend the knowledge of practitioners, activists, and policy experts regarding the resilience of our domestic building stock and cities. Awan et al. (2013) explain that agents are not entirely free from societal and spatial constraints; instead, they are characterised by intent, shaped by their own visions and actions, and context, the spatial and social structures of which they are part and which they negotiate. This article discusses the intent and context of the agents involved in the construction and transformation of the Cité Ouvrière in Mulhouse in Eastern France from the mid-19th century to date. With 1,253 houses built for the workers of the Dollfus-Mieg et Compagnie (DMC) textile factory between 1853 and 1897, Cité Ouvrière was the largest and most successful employer-constructed housing scheme of its time, setting an example for many other European company towns. Through this exceptional case study, the article identifies the levels at which spatial agents operate, the means they use to instigate change, their dynamic relations, and the ways these are influenced by the wider historical context while influencing the making and evolution of the built form. Using historical and archival documents, it amounts to recognise an interplay of individuals and public and private groups, who have been responsible for taking decisions at different scales—the city, the neighbourhood, and the houses—and have instigated changes of different effect—from more localised to more aggregate.
Planning Adaptation: Accommodating Complexity in the Built Environment
Authors: Muldoon-Smith Kevin , Moreton Leo
Published: January 2022

Obsolescence and vacancy are part of the traditional building life cycle, as tenants leave properties and move to new ones. Flux, a period of uncertainty before the establishment of new direction, can be considered part of building DNA. What is new, due to structural disruptions in the way we work, is the rate and regularity of flux, reflected in obsolescence, vacancy, and impermanent use. Covid-19 has instantly accelerated this disruption. Retail failure has increased with even more consumers moving online. While employees have been working from home, rendering the traditional office building in the central business district, at least temporarily, obsolete. This article reflects on the situation by reporting findings from an 18-month research project into the practice of planning adaptation in the English built environment. Original findings based on interviews with a national sample of local authority planners, combined with an institutional analysis of planning practice since the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act, suggest that the discipline of planning in England is struggling with the reality of flux. There is a demand for planning to act faster, due to the speed of change in the built environment, and liberal political concerns with planning regulation. This is reflected in relaxations to permitted development rules and building use categories. However, participants also indicate that there is a concurrent need for the planning system to operate in a more measured way, to plan the nuanced complexity of a built environment no longer striated by singular use categories at the local level. This notion of flux suggests a process of perpetual change, turbulence, and volatility. However, our findings suggest that within this process, there is a temporal dialectic between an accelerating rate of change in the built environment and a concomitant need to plan in a careful way to accommodate adaptation. We situate these findings in a novel reading of the complex adaptive systems literature, arguing that planning practice needs to embrace uncertainty, rather than eradicate it, in order to enable built environment adaptation. These findings are significant because they offer a framework for understanding how successful building adaptation can be enabled in England, moving beyond the negativity associated with the adaptation of buildings in recent years. This is achieved by recognizing the complex interactions involved in the adaptation process between respective stakeholders and offering an insight into how respective scales of planning governance can coexist successfully.

EMPLOYMENT IN THE BANKING SPHERE: THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Brintseva O.G.
Published: January 2022

The complex and controversial changes taking place in the labor market make new demands on personnel, necessitating the development of modern digital skills. The spread of information technology in many respects simplifies the process of obtaining and providing banking services, reducing the need for direct interaction with people at work. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly accelerated the process of digital transformation, which for some time made it impossible for people to work directly together, leading to greater use of platforms for remote work and communication. In order to adapt employees to the conditions of remote employment, it is important to find new forms of remote team management that ensure a high level of employee involvement, a balance between work and leisure, and increase the efficiency of working time and productivity. Effective processes of digital transformation are now one of the determining factors in the competitiveness of the banking sector. In the long run, the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalisation trends will further reduce the number of employees in banking sector. This will require them to acquire new digital competencies or change their activities. In order to adapt employees to the conditions of remote employment, it is important to find new forms of remote team management that ensure a high level of employee involvement, balance between work and leisure and increase the efficiency of working time and productivity. Relevant areas of research are the transformation of employment in digital economy, the adaptation of the banking sector to pandemic constraints as well as ensuring compliance between workers' skills and modern labor market requirements.

Published: January 2022

The features of transfer pricing in Ukraine have been considered. It has been established that transfer pricing in Ukraine is at the stage of formation. The features and prospects for the implementation of international transfer pricing requirements using the «Three-tier model of transfer pricing documentation recommended by the OECP (step 13 of the BEPS plan)» have been identified. The legal aspects of regulating the prevention and minimization of the movement of profits, tax evasion by transnational corporations, in particular, the BEPS package, and others have been considered. The place of Ukraine in the Paying Taxes rating in 2015-2020 is determined. Trends 2015-2020 testify to the formation of tax discipline regarding the timeliness and completeness of reporting on transfer pricing. The dynamics of the submitted reports on controlled transactions in Ukraine in quantitative and value terms in 2013-2020 has been analyzed. The volume of controlled transactions by country and by subject of transactions in 2020 was investigated. It was found that the largest share in the total volume of controlled transactions is occupied by banking services (37%) and transactions with goods (35%), and the largest volume of controlled transactions is carried out in Switzerland. The features of the implementation in Ukraine of the BEPS plan as an international project of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the G20 countries are considered. The innovations in tax legislation in the field of transfer pricing and the peculiarities of introducing a three-level reporting structure on transfer pricing in Ukraine have been described. The World Transfer Pricing 2022 rating of Ukrainian companies offering transfer pricing services is presented. The problems that hinder the effective implementation of the requirements of international transfer pricing in Ukraine have been identified and measures have been proposed that should be taken to overcome them.

Published: January 2022

The purpose of this article is to review recent international studies on ports that have entered into public private partnerships (PPPs). This article examines five articles covering ports in Columbia, Mexico, Brazil, the Caribbean (Cayman Islands), China, South Korea, and France. Divided as follows, the article includes: (I) a summary of each article; (II) a critique of the articles related to the countries referenced; and (III) an assessment of how this relates and/or applies to Ukraine. The analysis and assessment of each article should better inform progress towards PPPs and their use in ports in Ukraine. Based on five variables to assess PPP projects in this article: (a) the type of PPP (allowing for a plurality of PPP arrangements); (b) regulatory framework (with a supportive institutional arrangement for PPPs); (c) financial safeguards (delivering value for money against other options); (d) accountability; and (e) miscellaneous data (something that improves context and practical aspects), this article offers three key findings. First, enhance accountability and publicity. Second, improve market engagement. Third, correct implementation of legal and institutional frameworks. This study, according to its author, encountered the usual limitations: sample selection and access to data at different stages of the project’s completion. The sample is fair, comprising a diverse, representative pool of projects. Regarding access to data, the article found that publicity and reporting need to improve in the Caribbean. The author engaged with all main sources, especially local ones, at different stages of each project. PPPs in the Caribbean are not exempt when it comes to budgetary decisions.

A Case of the Tail Wagging the Dog: The Medicare Mental Health Coverage Gap and Its Impact on Providers and Beneficiaries
Authors: Morgan Amy A. , Fullen Matthew C. , Wiley Jonathan D.
Published: January 2022

Nearly one in four Medicare beneficiaries have been diagnosed with mental health or substance use disorders, and research indicates this population responds well to mental health treatment. However, Medicare policy omits licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) as approved providers, exacerbating an existing national provider shortage. Emerging research demonstrates that the provider omission, referred to as the Medicare mental health coverage gap (MMHCG), profoundly impacts excluded providers and the communities they serve. This paper represents a synthesis of the most current scholarship on Medicare research, policy, and advocacy. In particular, we explore three ways the MMHCG impacts providers and beneficiaries alike: limiting provider choices, thwarting continuity of care, and creating challenging decisions for beneficiaries and providers. Our aim is to help mental health counselors better understand and navigate the MMHCG and aid in advocacy efforts for legislation to include LMHCs and LMFTs as approved Medicare providers.

Authors: Bulatova I. A. , Miftakhova A. M. , Gulyaeva I. L.
Published: January 2022

Objective. To evaluate the severity of the inflammatory syndrome by the serum concentration of proinflammatory cytokines of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-) and interleukin-6, endothelial dysfunction syndrome (ED) by the level of vasculoendothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the functional activity of Willebrand factor (WF) in the blood of patients with nonalcoholic liver steatosis (NALS) and liver fibrosis (LF) of viral genesis. Materials and methods. 52 patients with NALS and 27 patients with LF of viral etiology (hepatitis C) were examined. The control group included 20 practically healthy individuals. The concentrations of TNF-, IL-6 and VEGF were determined in the blood by enzyme immunoassay. The functional activity of WF was measured by the level of aggregation with the inducer ristocetin using laser aggregometer. Results. According to the results of ELISA, an increase in serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines TNF- and IL-6 was registered in patients of both study groups in comparison with the control, being more pronounced in patients with viral LF. Hyperproduction of VEGF was observed in both groups of patients, and the concentration of this marker was significantly higher in viral LF than in patients with NALS (p = 0.002). The functional activity of WF in patients with NALS and in the group with LF also significantly exceeded the control values, but there were no significant differences between the nosological forms (p = 0.675). Conclusions. The course of NALS and viral LF is characterized by the development of an inflammatory syndrome and ED, associated with an increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines TNF- and IL-6 and hyperproduction of VEGF, more pronounced in LF. The functional activity of WF also increases in both nosological forms, but without significant differences.

Authors: Selyanina N. V. , Khegai O. V. , Karakulova Yu. V.
Published: January 2022

Objective. To study the effect of galanin on the severity of tremor in Parkinson's disease.

Materials and methods. A comprehensive examination of 73 patients with Parkinson's disease and 16 apparently healthy individuals (control group) was carried out. We used the clinical-anamnestic method, the Hen-Yar scale of movement disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD), the MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). Serum galanin content was determined by enzyme immunoassay. Serum galanin was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using an ELISA Kit for Galanin (USA). Statistical processing of the material was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 program.

Results. Tremor is one of the main complaints of PD patients. In the main group, the average severity of the disease, subjective and objective manifestations of movement disorders were determined. In patients with PD, a decrease in the quantitative content of blood serum galanin (6.0 [4.3; 10.2] ng / ml) was determined in comparison with the control group (16.9 [9.8; 18.1] ng/ml, p = 0.001). A negative correlation dependence of the galanin content with motor manifestations was revealed in the first (R = 0.8; p = 0, 0001) and second (R = 0.53; p = 0.000002) parts of the MDS-UPDRS, as well as with the severity of resting tremor in the hand (R = 0.81; p = 0.000000) and leg (R = 0.76; p = 0.000001). The dependence of serum galanin on the form of the disease was not obtained in the study.

Conclusions. In Parkinson's disease, there is a decrease in the quantitative content of the neuropeptide galanin in the blood serum, which is negatively associated with motor manifestations of the disease and is associated with the severity of parkinsonian tremor.
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury
Authors: Kostyamin Yuri D. , Grekov Ilya S.
Published: January 2022

This literature review is devoted to one of the topical multidisciplinary problems of modern clinical practice the development of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. The prevalence of this pathology varies on average from 5 to 43 %, while the frequency of early hospital mortality increases significantly in the population of such patients compared with patients without cardiac surgery-associated renal damage. It is assumed that the work of the artificial circulatory system contributes to the development of such complications, but as shown by many studies, the etiology of such kidney damage is multifactorial and cannot be explained by only one pathogenetic mechanism. The article highlights the current understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis and risk factors of acute kidney injury after cardiovascular interventions, describes new markers of early detection of renal dysfunction, and describes some prognostic aspects of the disease. Early identification and stratification of risk groups will allow for a timely preventive strategy, which will significantly improve early and long-term postoperative outcomes in such patients.

Rapid estimation of earthquake ground shaking and proper accounting of associated uncertainties in such estimates when conditioned on strong-motion station data or macroseismic intensity observations are crucial for downstream applications such as ground failure and loss estimation. The U.S. Geological Survey ShakeMap system is called upon to fulfill this objective in light of increased near-real-time access to strong-motion records from around the world. Although the station data provide a direct constraint on shaking estimates at specific locations, these data also heavily influence the uncertainty quantification at other locations. This investigation demonstrates methods to partition the within- (phi) and between-event (tau) uncertainty estimates under the observational constraints, especially when between-event uncertainties are heteroscedastic. The procedure allows the end users of ShakeMap to create separate between- and within-event realizations of ground-motion fields for downstream loss modeling applications in a manner that preserves the structure of the underlying random spatial processes.

We determine an optimal alerting configuration for the propagation of local undamped motion (PLUM) earthquake early warning (EEW) algorithm for use by the U.S. ShakeAlert system covering California, Oregon, and Washington. All EEW systems should balance the primary goal of providing timely alerts for impactful or potentially damaging shaking while limiting alerts for shaking that is too low to be of concern (precautionary alerts). The PLUM EEW algorithm forward predicts observed ground motions to nearby sites within a defined radius without accounting for attenuation, avoiding the earthquake source parameter estimation step of most EEW algorithms. PLUM was originally developed in Japan where the alert regions and ground motions for which alerts are issued differ from those implemented by ShakeAlert. We compare predicted ground motions from PLUM to ShakeMap-reported ground motions for a set of 22 U.S. West Coast earthquakes of magnitude 4.4–7.2 and evaluate available warning times. We examine a range of prediction radii (20–100 km), thresholds used to issue an alert (alert threshold), and levels of impactful or potentially damaging shaking (target threshold). We find optimal performance when the alert threshold is close to the target threshold, although higher target ground motions benefit from somewhat lower alert thresholds to ensure timely alerts. We also find that performance, measured as the cost reduction that a user can achieve, depends on the user’s tolerance for precautionary alerts. Users with a low target threshold and high tolerance for precautionary alerts achieve optimal performance when larger prediction radii (60–100 km) are used. In contrast, users with high target thresholds and low tolerance for precautionary alerts achieve better performance for smaller prediction radii (30–60 km). Therefore, setting the PLUM prediction radius to 60 km balances the needs of many users and provides warning times of up to ∼20 s.
Uwagi na temat organizacji powszechnego głosowania korespondencyjnego w czasie trwania stanu epidemii

Wybory prezydenckie zaplanowane pierwotnie na 10 maja 2020 roku zbiegły się w czasie z wybuchem epidemii koronawirusa i wprowadzeniem stanu epidemii. W związku z tym polskie państwo musiało podjąć działania, które umożliwią wszystkim obywatelom skorzystanie z przyznanego im przez Konstytucję RP czynnego prawa wyborczego jednocześnie zapewniając im bezpieczeństwo w wymiarze zdrowotnym. Rozwiązaniem tego problemu miało być powszechne głosowanie wyłącznie w formie korespondencyjnej. Celem artykułu jest zebranie i omówienie najważniejszych wątpliwości związanych z organizacją takiej formy wyborów, w tym między innymi kwestii: zapewnienia tajności głosowania, organu odpowiedzialnego za przeprowadzenie wyborów, zmian w prawie wyborczym w okresie krótszym niż 6 miesięcy przed datą głosowania, a także możliwości przeprowadzenia wyborów w czasie stanu nadzwyczajnego.
