Obesity is associated with increasing cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Not everyone with obesity, however, develops metabolic complications. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been suggested to be a promoter of leanness and metabolic health. To date, little is known about the prevalence and metabolic function of BAT in people with severe obesity, a population at high cardiometabolic risk. In this cross-sectional study, we included 40 individuals with World Health Organization class II-III obesity (BMI ≥35 kg/m2). Using a 150-min personalized cooling protocol and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography, cold-activated BAT was detectable in 14 of the participants (35%). Cold-induced thermogenesis was significantly higher in participants with detectable BAT compared with those without. Notably, individuals with obesity and active BAT had 28.8% lower visceral fat mass despite slightly higher total fat mass compared with those without detectable BAT 18F-FDG uptake. The lower amount of visceral fat mass was accompanied by lower insulin resistance and systemic inflammation and improved nonalcoholic fatty liver disease parameters, all adjusted for age, sex, and percent body fat. Contrary to previous assumptions, we show here that a significant fraction of individuals with severe obesity has active BAT. We found that decreased BAT 18F-FDG uptake was not associated with adiposity per se but with higher visceral fat mass. In summary, active BAT is linked to a healthier metabolic phenotype in obesity.

Authors: Chistyakov A. E. , Sidoryakina V. V. , Protsenko S. V.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. It is noted that the use of adaptive grids in calculations makes it possible to improve the accuracy and efficiency of computational algorithms without increasing the number of nodes. This approach is especially efficient when calculating nonstationary problems. The objective of this study is the development, construction and software implementation of methods for constructing computational two-dimensional optimal boundary-adaptive grids for complex configuration regions while maintaining the specified features of the shape and boundary of the region. The application of such methods contributes to improving the accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of computational algorithms.

Materials and Methods. The problem of automatic construction of an optimal boundary-adaptive grid in a simply connected region of arbitrary geometry, topologically equivalent to a rectangle, is considered. A solution is obtained for the minimum set of input information: the boundary of the region in the physical plane and the number of points on it are given. The creation of an algorithm and a mesh generation program is based on a model of particle dynamics. This provides determining the trajectories of individual particles and studying the dynamics of their pair interaction in the system under consideration. The interior and border nodes of the grid are separated through using the mask tool, and this makes it possible to determine the speed of movement of nodes, taking into account the specifics of the problem being solved.

Results. The developed methods for constructing an optimal boundary-adaptive grid of a complex geometry region provides solving the problem on automatic grid construction in two-dimensional regions of any configuration. To evaluate the results of the algorithm research, a test problem was solved, and the solution stages were visualized. The computational domain of the test problem and the operation of the function for calculating the speed of movement of interior nodes are shown in the form of figures. Visualization confirms the advantage of this meshing method, which separates the border and interior nodes.

Discussion and Conclusions. The theoretical and numerical studies results are important both for the investigation of the grids qualitative properties and for the computational grid methods that provide solving numerical modeling problems efficiently and with high accuracy.

Authors: Issabekov Zh. N. , Tsybrii I. K. , Moroz K. A.
Published: October 2021

Introduction.The development of robotics in many advanced countries has raised various industries to a high level. The demand for robots increases the share of their use in production tasks, mainly in the motor-vehicle and electronics industries. Advanced robotics can increase productivity in many industries by 30%, while reducing labor costs. Automation of technological processes of electronics production has a positive impact on the use of robots. Robots are used in construction, logistics, oil and gas, aerospace, plant engineering and construction, mining, healthcare, etc. The authors consider robots from the point of view of their application in medicine for the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal patients. This paper describes the mechanisms for controlling the feet and the center of mass of a humanoid robot.

Materials and Methods.The authors chose the simplest algorithm for searching for the law of motion control of a humanoid robot. The robot movement was presented as a reverse pendulum. Using the large kinematic redundancy of walking robots, we have developed a way to control the robot in such a way as to bring the dynamics of its movement to the reverse pendulum as close as possible. At the same time, the problem of determining the generalized coordinates is considered, at which a given position and orientation of the transferred foot and a given position of the projection of the center of mass (CM) of the robot onto the reference surface are provided.

Results.The authors have developed a digitalized automatic control scheme for the movement of the feet and the center of mass of the human exoskeleton, which will largely reduce the load on a sick person.

Discussion and Conclusions.When discussing the results, comparing the data of the tables obtained during the calculation, the following conclusion was made. The scheme for controlling the feet movement of a human exoskeleton developed by the authors is most effective when designing an automatic scheme for controlling the movement of the feet and the center of mass of a human exoskeleton using digital technology, which will largely reduce the load on a sick person.
Investigation of the electrospark coating, alloying and strengthening technology
Authors: Glushko S. P.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. The work objectives were the analysis and application of the technology of electrospark deposition of wear-resistant metal coatings on cutting tools or machine parts for their hardening or dimensional restoration.

Materials and Methods. The technology, device and principle of operation of the modernized installation intended for electric spark application of wear-resistant metal coatings with composites T15K6, VK8 and VK6 are considered.

Results. To determine the parameters of the upgraded electrospark alloying plant, experiments were carried out on hardening of polished samples made of steel 45 with hard alloy T15K6 with dimensions of 25×25×25 mm. As a result of using the experiment planning method, the possibility of selecting and adjusting the installation parameters was confirmed. The following parameters were selected for hardening samples made of steel 45 with hard alloy T15K6: current I = 1-2–A, voltage U = 40-75 V, capacitor bank capacity = 60–100 µF.

Discussion and Conclusions. The use of carbon dioxide as a protective medium enables to increase the number of passes and, accordingly, the number of coating layers to twenty, to obtain a total thickness of up to 0.3 mm with a dense structure without oxides. Coatings of this thickness make it possible not only to strengthen, but also to restore the dimensions of worn machine parts. The parameters of the technological modes of electrospark alloying significantly affect the intensity of coating application and the quality of the resulting surface. A rise in the electrical parameters causes an increase in the intensity of each individual discharge and, within certain limits, contributes to an increase in the amount of the transferred coating material, as well as to deeper transformations of the coated surface in the discharge zone. Thus, an electrospark alloying plant equipped with monitoring and diagnostic tools, as well as with a protective gas supply system, can be used for hardening and restoring machine parts and cutting tools.
Method for assessing the current and additional load on the parallel kinematic structure mechanisms electric drive system
Authors: Kruglova T. N.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. The problem of the load on an electric drive system in a parallel kinematic structure is considered. The task of developing a fault-tolerant system that provides performing a given process in case of a failure of one or more drives is described. The work objective is to create a method for estimating the current and additional load on each drive of the mechanism of a parallel kinematic structure. The solution enables to correct the operating mode when performing a given process without compromising serviceable drives.

Materials and Methods. Previously, a diagnostic method was developed. It is based on the calculation and analysis of the coefficients of straight lines that approximate the envelopes of the values of the wavelet transform coefficients of electric motor current signals, taking into account the characteristic scales. This makes it possible to determine the current technical condition of the electric motor and find malfunctions. The logical continuation of this approach is the proposed method for assessing the current and additional load. It provides finding the current load on the drive based on the coefficients of the lines approximating the envelopes of the wavelet coefficients of the current signal. To calculate the additional load, the number and location of faulty drives are taken into account.

Results. For each scale of the wavelet coefficients, the relative coefficients and the current load on each drive are determined. The possibility of redistributing the load to two adjacent jacks was checked; the behavior of the system in this case was investigated. The load moved by the faulty jack is redistributed to two adjacent jacks in equal shares — 14.76 % each. The total load on the drives is 44.28 %, which is safe for the servo. The load on the drive of the fourth jack does not change (29.52 %). The drives have a sufficient safety margin. It is established that all three operating modes are acceptable for the studied servo drive, and they do not cause dynamic overloads and premature failure.

Discussion and Conclusions. The experimental studies on the method of assessing the current and additional load have shown its adequacy and high efficiency. It was found that when the drives were disconnected from one of the racks of the mechanism, the system performed a load redistribution on the drives. Thus, it was possible to avoid their dynamic overloads and premature failure. This means that the solution is able to ensure the reliable functioning of the complex at the time of renovation work.
A method for generating a local network graph based on the analysis of address sets
Authors: Galushka V. V. , Fatkhi D. V. , Gazizov E. R.
Published: October 2021

Introduction.The paper deals with the problem of automated construction of a local area network using tools and methods for traffic analysis at the link layer of OSI model. The problem is caused by two factors. These are difficulties of the manual determination of the communication between equipment and the lack of physical access to communication lines of an already functioning network. The purpose of the work is to reduce the time spent on building a local network diagram through automating the process of determining the communication between the equipment.

Materials and Methods.To solve the set tasks, a method for determining the relative location of devices is proposed. The network adapters of a specialized software and hardware complex, which are connected to a communication line break at different points of the network, are used in opposite directions. The method used is based on calculations of intersections of address sets received from these adapters. The structural schemes of the construction of such a software and hardware complex and the requirements for it are given. The methods of obtaining MAC addresses from transit packets are described. Examples of libraries of software components for performing this operation are given. The structure of a relational database is proposed for storing the received data. The format and content of the fields of its table are described.

Results.Using the developed methods, a typical example of an Ethernet network shows a way to determine the relative location of end devices specified by their MAC addresses, as well as at least two switches located between them. The signs by which it is possible to judge the presence of switching equipment in a particular segment are determined. A method is proposed that enables through using a set of relational operations, to sequentially refine the network topology until the required accuracy is achieved.

Discussion and Conclusions.The results obtained can be used under the administration of large local networks with an extensive structure. The proposed approach allows you to reduce the time required for building a scheme. This is possible due to the automation of the process of obtaining information about devices operating on the network and their mutual location.

Authors: Baskakov A. A. , Tarasov A. G.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. Employees of the banking sector with health restrictions have negative experience of using internal software to interact with customers and perform their official duties. Many employees, for example, with hearing problems, would like to work in call centers, but do not have this opportunity due to the outdated software. The research objective is to analyze the priority tasks for the further development of software products, taking into account the existing health problems of employees.

Materials and Methods. One of the subsystems of the automated workplace (hereinafter referred to as the AWP) was selected the software, which allows the employee to interact directly with the clients of the given organization. The analysis used the method of expert evaluation by T. L. Saati with the assistance of one of the experts in the development of software for people with disabilities.

Results. Using the fundamental preference scale and expert opinion in the field of software development for people with disabilities, a priority matrix was built for each of the criteria (subtitles, simplified fonts, voice guidance, simplified and remote management) and platforms (IOS, Android, Windows OS), as well as a global priority matrix for all criteria and platforms.

Discussions and Conclusions. An expert assessment of several characteristics of the software of a commercial banking organization of the Russian Federation was carried out to identify the disadvantages of using the software by employees with disabilities. During the analysis, intermediate conclusions were made: the most demanded criterion for people with hearing problems is “Subtitle”; for people without the ability to leave the house — “Remote control”; for people with amputations or irreversible limb injuries — “Simplified control”. The other parameters are not recommended for implementation.
THE NOTION OF THE SYSTEM OF CIVIL PROCEDURAL LAW
Authors: SHERSTYUK V.M.
Published: October 2021

The study puts forward the thesis that the basis for the allocation of structural subdivisions of civil procedural law is mainly the subject of legal regulation. The complex internal structure of the system of this branch of law is due primarily to the diversity of civil procedural relations that constitute the subject of regulation of this branch of law. The work reveals the essential features of the concept of “system of civil procedural law”, defines the grounds for its structural subdivisions and their composition, gives the definition of this category. In particular, the author has formulated the idea that the system of civil procedural law is an internally coordinated set of civil procedural rules, institutions and other relatively independent structural subdivisions of this branch of law, naturally interconnected into a single whole due to the unity of civil procedural relations. Also in this study the point of view is expressed that each level of the system, as well as the entire system of civil procedural law as a whole, is characterized not only by typical features of its constituent elements, but also by their typical, regular relationships that constitute its structure.
“INCOMPLETE” COURT PROCEDURES IN MODERN CIVIL PROCEDURE
Authors: SAKHNOVA T.V.
Published: October 2021

The development of judicial procedures is an indicator of increasing complexity of civil procedure, a clear manifestation of the general pattern – unification and differentiation of civil procedural form. And one of the main tasks of the legislator is to make sure that the objective complexity of the legal space does not lead to complication of the access to judicial protection for interested persons. This thesis, put forward by the author, acts as one of the key ideas of this study and is disclosed in the article in terms of “incomplete” judicial procedures. The “incomplete” judicial procedures, according to the author’s conception, include simplified proceedings, absentee proceeding, court-ordered proceedings and proceedings on insignificant claims. The latter should be understood as proceedings before a justice of the peace in action cases (see clauses 2–5 part 1 of Article 23 of the Civil Procedure Code of the RF). In conclusion it is concluded that the procedural nature of the Russian process, laid down in the codes of the early 20th century, now acquires conceptual importance, which requires a different methodology to solve current legislative problems. The procedures we have considered is a “litmus test” of the methods of justice, which allows us to comprehend the general vector of the further path of civilizational process reform.

INSTITUTION OF APPEAL OF THE DECISIONS OF THE RUSSIAN COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR DOPING DISPUTES TO THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT (CAS): PROCEDURAL PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
Authors: CHEBOTAREV A.V. , RZHEPIK Ya.N.
Published: October 2021

The article concerns the legal problems in the procedural legislation of Russia within the consideration and appeal of cases of violation of anti-doping rules in the appellate procedure. The doping scandal that occurred with Russian athletes and a number of sports organizations and functionaries led to the hasty adoption of a number of regulations and amendments to the existing laws of Russia. One of the important aspects is the analysis of the procedure on appeal of decisions in doping cases, due to the edition of the World Anti-Doping Code and the All-Russian Anti-Doping Rules that came into force in January 2021. New in these acts is the implementation of rules on the separation of powers to appeal proceedings in the current anti-doping rules. With reference to Article 13 of the World Anti-Doping Code (WADA Code) states that appeals for international athletes (testing pool) or violations detected during international competitions are filed directly with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne (Switzerland). As for national athletes and other individuals (coaches, athlete support personnel), disputes with their participation are filed with the national appeal authority. In addition, sufficient attention is paid to the recognition of decisions of international authorities on doping cases and the procedure for their implementation in Russia. All the arguments made in the article are supported by examples from judicial practice, including the practice of CAS, in which these cases were considered.

Ice and Ivory: the cryopolitics of mammoth de-extinction
Authors: Wrigley Charlotte A.
Published: October 2021

Woolly mammoth tusk hunting has become a black-market industry in the Siberian region of Yakutia, where thawing permafrost due to climate change is revealing the bodies of thousands of mammoths. They are often in a state of incredible preservation, and their accompanying tusks can be sold to China where they are carved into ornaments as a marker of status. Alongside tusk hunting, another potential industry has emerged: de-extinction. Many of the mammoths found on the tundra have potentially viable DNA that might be used to resurrect a mammoth through genetic technology. Mammoth de-extinction is a cryopolitical process – a focus on the preservation and production of life at a genetic level through cold storage. 'Cryobanks' have emerged as a way to safeguard endangered and extinct species' genetic material, and forms part of a turn towards pre-empting conservation crises during what some scholars are calling the 'sixth great extinction.' The mammoth's body is broken down into pieces – tusks form luxury commodity chains, whilst flesh and blood is parceled into frozen genes and cells. The mammoth in the freezer is indicative of a reorganization of cold life in a warming world, with the specific cryopolitics found in the cryobank an attempt at extending human control over planetary processes that are now seemingly out of control. Drawing on fieldwork undertaken at the Mammoth Museum in Yakutsk, Siberia, and at the Natural History Museum's cryobank in London, I follow the mammoth from permafrost, to freezer, to back outside, and consider how her de-extinction is a response to a particular sort of future crisis –that of our own extinction.
Some Economic Characteristics of Internet Platforms
Authors: Plavčan Peter , Funta Rastislav
Published: October 2021

Various internet platforms have rapidly developed into central points of everyday life, for private individuals as well as for companies (often dominated by a single or a few companies). At the same time these internet platforms are advancing into more and more areas of business. This creates the risk of dependency, abuse of power, manipulation, concentration of power, centralization of data and information with corresponding effects on technological development, innovation, economy, society and politics. From an economic point of view, this article examines how the strong market positions of internet platforms arise and can be maintained. The dynamics of these technology and innovation-driven markets and the differences from conventional markets are also discussed. These internet markets have emerged from a series of innovations and are characterized by rapid technological development. Taking into account the economic peculiarities as well as knowledge from innovation and governance research, recommendations are drawn up on how these problems can be dealt with.

Subject. The article examines processes of import substitution in Russia and its regions within the framework of ensuring the economic security of the country. Objectives. The aim is to substantiate a methodological approach to determining the impact of innovative component of import substitution on the economic security of the region. Methods. The study employs the method of convolution and the index method. Results. We analyzed investment and innovation activity of organizations in recent years. Along with positive trends, we revealed a decrease in the share of organizations engaged in technological innovations in mechanical engineering and in the field of scientific research. To assess the impact of innovative component of import substitution on the economic security of the region, we determined the relative dynamics and convolution of innovation costs, investment volumes and innovative goods, exports and imports. We obtained estimated coefficients of indicators’ increase to achieve normative values of import substitution and economic security. We tested the methodology, using the mechanical engineering of the Sverdlovsk Oblast case. Conclusions. The presented methodological approach is universal and can be applied at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Habitualmente las leyes administrativas cuando tipifican infracciones se encargan también de clasificarlas en función de su gravedad. Pero no siempre es así. No son pocas, de hecho, las leyes que confían esa operación de clasificación al desarrollo reglamentario o, como es más común que suceda, a la propia Administración sancionadora. Este artículo analiza esta forma de tipificación de las infracciones y alerta sobre las principales debilidades de la tesis hoy dominante que niega su constitucionalidad.
