Objective — to establish the clinical and pathogenetic role of the isolation of the middle mass molecules of different fractions (aminopeptide — AF, peptide — PF, nucleotide — NF, chromatophore — CF) in exhaled breath concentrate (EBC) in pneumonitis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, their relationship with the parameters of respiratory moisture excretion, spirography and pressure in the pulmonary artery.

Materials and methods. EBC (pulmonary expirates) were studied in 31 patients with RA (mean age 46 years, the ratio of men to women 1 : 2), among whom moderate and high degree of disease activity was established in 67.7 % of cases, III and IV stages — in 54.8 %, the extra­articular form of the disease — in 61.3 %, systemic osteoporosis — in 83.9 %, seropositivity for rheumatoid factor — in 80.7 %, for antibodies to cyclic citrullined peptide — in 77.4 %. To determine the middle mass molecules in the expirates and blood serum, a screening method was used with the precipitation of proteins with trichloroacetic acid and the determination of the light absorption spectra of the acid­soluble fraction.

Results and discussion. Interstitial pneumonitis was diagnosed in 51.6 % of the number of RA patients, which was accompanied by fibrosing alveolitis in 18.8 % of cases, rheumatoid nodules in the lungs — in 12.5 %, obliterating bronchiolitis — in 6.3 %, with the ratio of restrictive, mixed and obstructive types of dysfunctions of external respiration 6 : 2 : 1, while the disease proceeded with a significant increase in AF indicators in 74.2 % of patients and the ratio «EBC/blood» (e/b) PF level in 77.4 % against the background of a decrease in AFe/b (at 71.0 %), NFe/b (at 54.8 %, CFe/b (at 74.2 %) and the ratio of surface tension caused by high­ and low­molecular substances in 83.9 %, and the composition of expirates was closely interrelated with the state of hemodynamics of the pulmonary circulation and bronchopermeability, depended on the rate and volume of respiratory moisture release, long­term use in the complex treatment of patients with an immunosuppressant of cytotoxic action, folic acid antagonist methotrexate. Conclusions. The nature of the respiratory excretion of middle mass molecules of different fractions determines the pathogenesis of pneumopathy in RA patients, which depends on the clinical, radiological and sonographic signs of the disease, and the study of EBC can be used to predict the course of the pathological process and monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic measures.

Institutional Structure of Corporations (the Case of Large Russian Corporations)
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State University, Pletnev D. A. , Kozlova E. V. ,   Chelyabinsk State University
Published: March 2021

Modern corporation is the main form of social production but its activity and development still remain a largely underex-plored question. Economic theory predominantly relies on simplified approaches based on mathematical modeling to study cor-porations, which gives us little in-depth understanding of the essence of this phenomenon. On the other hand, applied research on corporations does not rise to the level of theoretically significant generalizations. This paper proposes the following theoretical and methodological approach to analyzing the phenomenon of corporation: we identify institutional elements in its structure — institutions and routines. We use the cases of the largest Russian companies to demonstrate the possibility of using this approach to analyze specific corporations and their aggregates. The paper describes nine different routines that structure corporate actors’ interactions based on social norms, coercion, and private interest. We also conduct an analysis of the official sites of Russian cor-porations and sites with employee feedback, which leads us to evaluating each institution’s development from the triad: coercion, assistance, and opportunism. We found a significant correlation between the development level of each corporation’s institutional structure and its efficiency (profitability of sales and capitalization growth rate).
The Socio-Economic Genotype of a Region for More Efficient Development
Authors:   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Myslyakova Yu. G. , Neklyudova N. P. ,   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2021

The article proposes a theoretical approach to regional development based on the idea that each territory has its own unique socio-economic genotype. Socio-economic genotype is understood as a complex of cause-and-effect patterns of regional-level economic relationships, which determine this region’s characteristics and constitute its ‘inherited’ profile. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the socio-economic genotype of a territory to make the regional development policy more efficient. The study discusses the underlying principles of regional development, in particular those that allow to take into account similarities or differences between territories and the industrial and social features they inherit from the past. These principles can also be used to stimulate regional development by reconciling the priorities of technological progress with socio-economic conditions in this or that region. The case of special economic zones in Ural region in 2010–2018 is used to demonstrate how the approach based on identifying a territory’s socio-economic genotype by formalizing its core can contribute to better detection of this territory’s strengths and weaknesses. The theoretical premises described in this research may be used to develop a mechanism for reconciling the needs of the region’s technological and spatial development on the meso- and macro-levels.

Shape of plutons in crustal shear zones: A tectono-magmatic guide based on analogue models
Authors: Michail Maria , Rudolf Michael , Rosenau Matthias , Riva Alberto , Gianolla Piero , Coltorti Massimo
Published: March 2021

Plutons in crustal shear zones may exploit inherited structures, interfere with strain localizing or be deformed passively. To constrain the relative timing of such tectono-magmatic constellations in natural settings is not always straight-forward. We here present sandbox-type analogue model experiments simulating magma emplacement into simple and transtensional crustal shear zones to test the diagnostic potential of pluton shape with respect to timing and setting. Observations based on surface deformation and intrusion shape exemplify the interplay between evolving and inherited tectonic structures and magma uprising. We observe markedly asymmetric intrusions in association with dikes reflecting the regional stresses, fault pattern and finite strain field. At the same time, the presence of an intrusion modifies the tectonic evolution, but only transiently, resulting in short-lived faults, reactivation and inversion. Diagnostic attributes include the pluton’s aspect ratio, its orientation and amplitude as well as dike association. Accordingly, syn-tectonic intrusions show the highest pluton amplitudes and intermediate elongation oriented parallel to between Riedel shears in simple shear, and compression in transtension. Post-tectonic intrusions are least elongated but relatively high and exploit Riedel shears. Pre-tectonic intrusions are characterized by low amplitudes and high aspect ratios parallel to the finite elongation direction. Intrusions in transtensional shear zones are generally of lower amplitude than those in simple shear zones. Experimental results are tested against observations from natural examples validating the diagnostic potential of pluton shape for the timing and the tectonic setting of the emplacement.

Published: March 2021

Background. Depression treatments are typically less effective for young people than for adults. However, extant treatments rarely target loneliness, which is a key risk factor in the onset, maintenance, and development of depression. Aims. This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel loneliness intervention, GROUPS 4 HEALTH (G4H), relative to best-practice treatment Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in reducing loneliness and depression over a 12 month period. Methods. The study was a Phase 3, randomised non-inferiority trial comparing G4H to dose-controlled group CBT. Participants were 174 young people aged 15-25 years experiencing loneliness and clinically significant symptoms of depression, who were not in receipt of adjunct treatment. Participants were recruited from mental health services in Southeast Queensland, Australia. Randomisation was conducted using computer software. Follow-up assessments and statistical analyses were blind to allocation. Both interventions consisted of 5 x 75 min group-based psychotherapy sessions. The primary outcomes were depression and loneliness, with a non-inferiority margin of 2.20 for depression. The trial was prospectively registered on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12618000440224) on 27 March 2018 and is closed to new participants. Results. 174 participants were enrolled between 24 April 2018 and 25 May 2019, with 84 in the G4H condition and 90 in the CBT condition. All randomised participants were included in the intention-to-treat analyses (N=174). The pre-post effect sizes for depression were d=-.71G4H and d=-.91CBT. For loneliness, they were d=-1.07G4H and d=-0.89CBT. At 12-month follow-up, the absolute difference between groups in depression was 1.176 (95%CI: -1.94, 4.29), and in loneliness was -0.679 (95%CI: -.1.43, .07). No adverse effects were observed. Conclusions. G4H was non-inferior to CBT for depression and showed a slight advantage over CBT for loneliness that emerged after treatment completion.
Toxic Air in the Industrial Corridor? An Analysis
Authors: Tarufelli Brittany L.
Published: March 2021

The Gulf Coast has gained a foothold as a low-cost region for chemical production. In this study, I leverage the arguably exogenous shock to natural gas prices and proximity to the Port of South Louisiana as instrumental variables to identify the impact of industrial development on air pollution and respiratory morbidity. I find that a $1 decrease in natural gas prices decreased PM10 pollution by 44% of the sample average, but these effects decreased with proximity to the Port. Switching to natural gas as a feedstock improved pollution and health outcomes, but pollution exposure in industrial corridors remains an issue.
A preliminary engineering geological study in the northern part of the Taplejung Window, far eastern Lesser Nepal Himalaya

Published: March 2021

In the northern part of the Taplejung area, two tectonic units are recognised. These are the Higher Himalayan and Lesser Himalayan Sequences separated by the Main Central Thrust (MCT). The Lesser Himalayan Sequence is exposed in the Taplejung Window represented by Taplejung Formation, Mitlung Augen Gneiss, and Lingkhim Schist from the bottom to top. The main rock types in the Lesser Himalayan Sequence are phyllite, schist, metasandstone, quartzite and augen gneiss. Three Proterozoic granitic bodies are intruded into Taplejung Formation: Tamor River Granite, Amarpur Granite and Kabeli Khola Granite. The rocks of the Higher Himalaya on the hanging wall of the MCT are composed of kyanite-sillimanite bearing banded gneiss, orthogneiss, migmatite, quartzite.

Three major landslides in the area, viz., Hangdewa, Hireba, and Paire lie along the valley slope sides of the Tamor River. Stream erosion and incision, presence of highly weathered rocks, surface and subsurface drainage are responsible in activating the landslides. Due to the presence of mainly weathered phyllites, favourable structural orientations and wet cultivation practice in the area have contributed to the development of these landslides.  The Hangdewa and Hireba landslides have endangered the villages in between them and ultimately the Suketar airport. The landslides are gradually destroying more and more areas of cultivated land and property and increased loss of human lives.

Excessive anthropogenic interference in the form of development activities like unplanned urbanization, deforestation and unfavorable agricultural practices have greatly aggravated the situation. The intensity of damages amplifies during the late part of monsoon each year. The study suggests that further detailed surface and subsurface investigation of the landslides are needed to prevent further loss of lives and property.

Vitamin E supplementation strategies for newly received feedlot cattle
Authors: Deters Erin , Hansen Stephanie L.
Published: March 2021

Increasing doses (0, 150, 500, or 1,000 IU/d) of supplemental vitamin E (VE) fed to newly received steers linearly increased VE status and 150 IU/steer/d was adequate to prevent a decline in VE status over the 26-d trial. Although feedlot performance was not affected by supplemental VE treatments, the highest VE dose (1,000 IU/d) resulted in greater Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus antibody titers 20 d after receiving a booster vaccine. The positive effects of VE on antibody titers in the current study, suggest supplemental VE is an effective nutritional strategy for supporting immune system function. Further research is needed to determine the optimal dose and timing of VE supplementation for newly received cattle with specific emphasis on resiliency to, and recovery from, stressful events.

Published: March 2021

The article presents an assessment and analysis of mobility and pain threshold in the cervico thoracic spine in women 55-65 years of age undergoing preventive treatment with a diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the cervico thoracic spine. It was revealed that in the examined set of parameters of possible movements in the cervical spine, the most problematic positions are flexion and extension. Testing of the mobility of the cervico thoracic spine was performed on ten positions, the assessment of which revealed the need not only to restore painless movement in the cervico thoracic spine, but also to activate mobility in the shoulder joints. Since, as a result of age-related changes, in 90% of cases, the mobility in the shoulder joints decreases and, as a result, the variety of movements is limited. The paper considers the possibility of influencing the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of elderly women. Massage exercises are presented, with a detailed description of the technique and methodology for using the developed self-massage movements in an independent mode. The main purpose of which is to restore the mobility of the cervico thoracic spine, improve the elasticity of the muscles of the investigated spine and restore the normalization of blood and lymph circulation in the most important part of the spine.

It is grounded that full or partial uncertainty of the environment in which the enterprise operates determines the clearly structured regulations formation that maximize the information support volume and quality. It is noted that the analytical support task at tactical and strategic management levels is different. On the basis of application of scientific research common scholarly and special methods, the coordination of analytical support tasks of their realization decision-making and consequences in activity-based management was carried out. The comparison of the effective and efficient enterprise management essence has been carried out. It is determined that effective management is the integration of functional and infrastructural components to achieve the long-term enterprise goals. The comparative analysis of traditional tasks of effective management economic analysis and analytical support was carried out. It has been substantiated that the analytical support tasks must necessarily be coordinated with the format of the management solution support system and the management type. A strong correlation between effective management and accounting and analytical support has been established. The influence of tactical and strategic decisions information support by the level of materiality on the reasons of low-quality management has been identified.

Published: March 2021

At the present stage of financial market development, the needs of individual clients are constantly growing. Competition in the market of traditional services between banks, as well as between banks and non-banking institutions is intensifying. With this in mind, banks must constantly work to diversify their sources of income, develop new services for the banking system; as a result, there are products of cooperation such as bancassurance. However, the level of their development is quite low, which requires appropriate research and generalization of their results in order to develop appropriate recommendations to improve the efficiency and further development of this type of cooperation. The leader in the provision of parabanking services in Ukraine is the insurance market, but its level of development is much lower than in foreign countries. The combination of banking and insurance services is one way to maintain and even increase the number of customers and assets. The interaction of banks and insurance companies can take various forms, including bank insurance and the provision of banking services to insurance companies – placement of funds, settlement services and others. The article examines the emergence of the concept of bancassurance, as a relatively new type of interaction between banks and insurance companies. The formation of such cooperation in Ukraine took place during three main stages. The main advantages of bancassurance singled out separately for insurance companies, for banks and for the clients themselves – consumers of financial services. An analysis made in terms of five banks in the Ukrainian financial market, and the most relevant insurance products they offer and with which companies work closely selected. The study found that in the insurance market of Ukraine, the dynamics of net insurance premiums and payments tends to increase. Insurance companies through the sale of services in banking institutions receive about a third of income. For the purpose of generalization, a SWOT analysis of bancassurance presented, with a clear identification of advantages, disadvantages and opportunities for further development in the Ukrainian financial market. It is determined that bancassurance has many advantages and potential opportunities for further improvement and expansion within Ukraine, while the shortcomings and threats are based on the existing shortcomings of the domestic financial market.

Population, man, human resources, human capital are the defining concepts in the consideration of issues related to the functioning of the national economy in modern economic conditions. It is generally recognized that labor activity is the main prerequisite that determines the material and spiritual wealth of man and society as a whole. Therefore, human resources at the present stage is one of the main components of the production potential of management in Ukraine, increasing the efficiency of use and reproduction of which are especially relevant. On the level of efficiency of human resources depends the level of welfare of the population, the development of productive forces, the scale of material production, etc. The development of intellectual productive forces and the strengthening of the influence of innovation and information factors contributes to the formation of a new socio-economic role of man in the modern economy and requires appropriate research. The article reveals the theoretical issues of trends in human capital development, a thorough analysis of the current state of human capital development and its importance in the modern economy. Based on the generalization of different views of scientists, the main stages of human capital formation in the agricultural sector of Ukraine's economy are identified and characterized. The problems of human capital use have been studied and proposals for its improvement have been worked out. It is revealed that the process of reproduction of human capital in agricultural enterprises and its effective use in the conditions of market transformations should be based on the principles of active policy aimed at reviving the economic situation in agriculture; scientific substantiation; development of measures in order to increase jobs and increase the labor needs of agricultural enterprises; improvement of the system of remuneration, social protection of agricultural workers; formation of the mechanism of social partnership, etc.

The article determined that the economic activity of agricultural enterprises is associated with fixed assets that make up the bulk of their capital. The study determined that the condition and efficiency of the use of fixed assets is an important factor in ensuring the competitiveness of enterprises. The article examines the features of fixed assets management in agricultural enterprises. The following main research methods were used in the article: comparison, monographic, abstract-logical, economic-statistical, methods of analysis and synthesis. Theoretical aspects of defining the economic essence of the concept of "fixed assets" and their classification are studied. The main problems of using fixed assets in modern agricultural enterprises are identified. The need for fixed assets for agricultural production for the period up to 2025 has been studied. The basic conditions of providing enterprises with fixed assets are determined. We are also established that in agricultural enterprises the management of fixed assets is carried out based on such approaches as a functional, process, strategic, systemic, situational, and integrated. It is determined that the purpose of fixed assets management is to ensure the production of competitive products and the formation of competitive advantages of the enterprise. The goals and objectives of fixed assets management at the strategic, tactical and operational levels are studied. Based on of the processed sources, the directions of increase of efficiency of use of fixed assets in the agricultural enterprises are offered: timely replacement of the outdated equipment; improving the organization of logistics of enterprises; use of modern effective systems of material incentives for employees; attracting investment resources of domestic and foreign investors to modernize the material and technical base of enterprises; application of leasing operations. The study investigated that the efficiency of fixed assets management of the enterprise can be considered from the standpoint of the efficiency of their use in economic turnover.

The article analyzes how young people adhere to the axiomatic rule of life safety, which should be treated as the most dangerous factor in the use of mobile devices of modern information technologies with a factor whose influence on the human body is not established. As the first step to avoiding the undesirable effects of any potential dangers is to realize their presence in the human environment, so the purpose of this study is to find out what is the attitude of young people, including students, to the use of mobile phones and whether they comply with basic security measures. to minimize potential negative impact. The object of the study is the prerequisites for the formation of smartphone dependency in young people and awareness of the potential dangers of mobile use. The results of the study of the age at which students started using a mobile phone and the frequency of its use for various purposes revealed possible signs of development in students of smartphone dependence. This is evidenced by the high percentage of those who received a cellphone for use early (50–60% between 9–12 years old) and the almost constant use of half of the students surveyed. Because the earlier a mobile phone is used, the more adverse its effect on the human body, since children are more susceptible to electromagnetic radiation than adults. According to the survey, 30–40% of students began to actively use a mobile phone at a fairly early age – 6–8 years. It has been found that students are not aware of the potential dangers of using mobile phones. This is confirmed by the students' low level of knowledge and interest in the indicators that characterize phone security; a small proportion of those who consider the safety of the phone when choosing a mark and model along with other features; as well as a significant percentage of students who do not adhere to safety measures, including increasing the distance from the body while storing a mobile phone

The article reveals the description experience of practical work for junior schoolchildren educating culture of mental work. The cornerstone of any educational concept is the idea of ​​intellectual development of the pupil who finds ways to solve it in different methods, technologies, didactic and educational models. Traditionally, the intellectual development of the student is considered to be the prerogative of didactics. Meanwhile, without mental education it is impossible to form a proper level of intelligence of a child, because didactics equips the individual with applied tools for learning about the world, and successful use of knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies in everyday life is impossible without emotional experience, reflection on personal achievements and development. That helps in organizing, regulating human activities in the world. Modern pedagogical science has an integrated approach in defining the concept of learning ability - it combines the personal characteristics of the student with the semantic and procedural basis of learning and is interpreted as a regulatory universal learning action, mastery of which ensures success in cognitive activity at all stages and levels of education. In a wider context, universal learning activities are considered to be as the ability of the individual to self-development and self-improvement through conscious and active assimilation of social experience. In this sense, they can be correlated with the concept of "culture of mental work", which means a quality that is manifested not only in education but also in other activities – such as playing and working. The purpose of forming a culture of mental work is to develop the child's readiness to implement various activities in society and the biological environment and the formation of a holistic picture of the world, which is constantly recognized and enriched with new intellectual and emotional aspects of meaning. Methodical aspects of mental work culture formation of the younger schoolchildren discover forms of the organization of educational activity of pupils; selection of exercises and tasks that help the child to understand the purpose of each intellectual operation, to comprehend it and integrate it into a holistic system of operations and to master the algorithm of action; development by schoolchildren of own algorithms of educational actions. Such exercises include reflexive tasks, solving puzzles, composing short texts with explanations, establishing analogies, composing riddles and crossword puzzles, problem tasks
Sensory evaluation of mono-varietal juices from columnar apple fruits

Tis study presents the sensory and biochemical traits of mono-varietal juices from columnar apple fruits grown in the Orel Region. Fruit juices from the cultivars Valuta, Zvezda Eﬁra, Orlovskaya Eseniya and Priokskoye have been assessed against the Antonovka Obyknovennaya juice as control. We used the emerging sensory scales and dictionaries to develop a sensory panel for the apple juice evaluation and analysed its main biochemical criteria. Te top descriptors in a ﬁve-point rating were used to develop the colour, ﬂavour and aroma scales for a quick juice quality evaluation, with suitable descriptors for each sensory level. Analyses of sensory data showed more expert discrimination of ﬂavour than aroma. Te cultivars were divided into three groups in terms of juice quality: transparent without opalescence (Zvezda Eﬁra, Valuta), almost opaque with marked opalescence (Orlovskaya Eseniya, Antonovka Obyknovennaya) and medium-transparent juice with slight opalescence (Priokskoye). Zvezda Eﬁra and Antonovka Obyknovennaya were more sour and tart, while the Valuta and Priokskoye varieties were the sweetest. Orlovskaya Eseniya had a balanced sweet-sour and least tart juice. A correlation has been determined between the point and descriptor scorings of apple juices, as well as between the ﬂavour and biochemical indices. Te sensory panel developed identiﬁed the best sensory qualities of apple juice as high transparency, absent opalescence, intense straw-yellow colour, sour-sweet rich ﬂavour and distinct apple aroma. Te most ﬂavour-aﬀecting biochemical indices were the sugar content (°Brix), sugar-acid ratio and P-active catechin amount. Te point and descriptive scorings produce fully accordant results. A descriptive analysis is industry-preferred for allowing a rapid assessment of various product characteristics and their adjustment upon need.

Molecular genotyping of native varieties of Vitis vinifera L. from diﬀerent winegrowing areas is a current trend in the grapevine genetic diversity research. Abkhazia is among the world cradles of tamed grape, and its indigenous gene pool is of particular interest. Avasirkhva is a native Abkhasian grapevine variety mainly grown in the Gudauta District. Te research aimed to obtaining a genetic passport of Avasirkhva grapevine using microsatellite polymorphism data. Te study sampled grape plants from private farmsteads of the Gudauta District. Te plant phenotype corresponded to the variety’s ampelographic description. DNA was isolated from young shoot tip leaves with a CTAB-based protocol. Genotyping was performed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by capillary fragment separation. High-polymorphic SSR loci (VVS2, VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD25, VVMD27, VVMD28, VVMD32, VrZAG62, VrZAG79) recommended for grapevine varietal identiﬁcation were used as markers. Te amplicon size was estimated with an ABI Prism 3130 automated genetic analyser using the GeneMapper and PeakScanner soﬅware and Pinot Noir as a reference variety genotype. Four samples exhibited an identical microsatellite proﬁle. Te microsatellite assay-based genetic passport of the Avasirkhva variety is as follows: VVS2141-145 VVMD5234-242 VVMD7239- 249, VVMD25239-249, VVMD27184-190, VVMD28234-248, VVMD32248- 262, VrZAG62200-204, VrZAG79251-257. Te obtained passport is unique with respect to the known genotypes in the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC). A Principal Coordinate Analysis of microsatellite data was used to infer the genetic relationships between Avasirkhva and the Abkhasian varieties Kachich and Azhizhkvakva genotyped in our earlier studies, as well as nine native grapevines of Georgia, the nearest viticultural area. Te Avasirkhva genetic passport can be used in grapevine genotyping studies to clarify the varietal identity.
