Authors: Melnikov Oleg F. , Zabolotny Dmitry I. , Bredun Alexander Yu. , Kishchuk Vasyl V.
Published: June 2021

Experimental work carried out over the past 20 years to study the activity of various functional groups in tonsillar cells in patients with chronic tonsillitis (CT) under local exposure to various immune response modifiers showed that:
- tonsillar cells from CT patients in 69.5% of cases are capable of increasing their immunofunctional activity under the influence of immune modifiers in vitro reactions;
- the most active of the group of immunotropic immune response modifiers are T-activin and Thymogen;
- it can be considered the optimal diagnostic technique to carry out a "stress" test on the tonsil tissue using nonspecific (alternating magnetic field of industrial (low) frequency and low-frequency ultrasound) and specific — a microbial vaccine when applied to the tonsil tissue;
- a non-invasive method for recording changes in the tonsils after stimulation may be fluctuations in the level of secretory immunoglobulin A and α-interferon in saliva after the test;
- an increase in the level of secretory immunoglobulin A and α-interferon by more than 1/3 of the initial level after the test is a clinically favorable sign and a recommendation for medical treatment to the managing of patients with CT.

Authors:   “Oil-Gas Scientific Research Project” Institute, Azerbaijan Republic, Hasanov F.G.
Published: June 2021

Currently, great attention is paid to the development issue of the shelf’s fuel and energy resources foremost in the oil-gas fields of the Caspian Sea. The problem solution requires the studying of great majority of scientific-technical issues. One of the significant problems is the lead-out of steel jacket from the offshore platform as a major element of oil-gas field hydro-technical facilities meant for the operation in the deep water. The calculations for the execution of operations with steel jacket of deep stationary platform from the block with the detailed chara- cteristics by the mass and gravity center coordinates alongside line data have been carried out with “SACS” and “STAAD.PRO” software programs. The steel jacket is pushed astern with the push-pull equipment on the barge. Due to the shift of gravity centre the jacket changes the trim in the stern. Through the elevation of trim angle brought in alignment with the friction ration between the jacket and barge, the jacket slides further itself. Herewith, the trim increases until the gravity centre of steel jacket on the barge is not in alignment with rotation centre of the large rocker arms. The studies helped to fix the position of the jacket’s gravity centre from the aft perpendicular, the trim moment, the trim of the barge, the draft with the bow and stern and the trim angle as well.

Published: June 2021

In the process of completion gas-condensate fields is observed an intensive increase of lifted out produced water and its mineralization influencing the process of regeneration of hydrate development inhibitors. The presence of mineral salts in the system of “hydrate development inhibitor – produced water” results in the decrease of saturated vapor pressure upon the solvent. The decrease of saturated vapors significantly influences the phase balance of the system. Moreover, the presence of salts changes the boiling temperature of water solutions of hydrate development inhibitors. This factor was not considered in the calculation and designing of existing regeneration set. The paper presents the data on the pressure of saturated vapor under the produced water with various mineralization based on which the correction coefficients were calculated and boiling temperature depending on the salt content specified as well.

Published: June 2021

Based on the analysis of All-Union Population Census of 1926 and a wide range of general and regional scientific research, the author studies the processes of demographic and economic development of territories located in the Russian North and conventionally designated by the author as regions of Euro-pean, Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern North. The paper identifies key trends and features of Northern re-gions' development in the 1920s, caused by the first Soviet reforms of the administrative-territorial struc-ture of the country, economic development and national state policy, which had an impact on the demo-graphic processes in the regions including population size, its composition and settlement structure. It is found that the economic development was the most active in the bordering areas, where intensive development of industry and transportation implied the need to strengthen national defense and expand trade and economic ties. This mainly concerned the regions of the European and Far Eastern North. The regions that were rich in natural resources, especially gold deposits, such as Yakutia, also developed more actively. Other regions of Ural and Siberian North developed in a more traditional way, based on growth of wood harvesting and fishing industry. Improving of living conditions of the indigenous peoples of the North, material support for their farms, medical care and legal assistance, introduction of education among the population in the 1920s had a positive impact on the economic and demographic development of the indigenous population.

The analysis of methods for assessing the financial opportunities for increasing the economic efficiency of industrial enterprises using absolute and relative indicators and coefficients was carried out. A mechanism for determining financial possibilities for realizing innovative potential of northern mining enterprises of non-ferrous metallurgy, based on the method of assessing the three-component coefficient, which allows choosing the most rational strategy of scientific and technological development, taking into account financial resources and features of production functioning in the northern regions of the Russian Federation, was developed. It is shown that the proposed methodology can be used with limited infor-mation in the accounting statements provided in public access. On the basis of objective indicators, the research of innovation activity of twenty industrial enterprises of non-ferrous metallurgy directly operating in the North and the Arctic and included as subsidiaries and branches of seven largest corporations — PJSC MMC “Norilsk Nickel”, JSC “Mine Karalveem”, PJSC “Acron”, JSC “Mining company “Berelekh”, PJSC “Seligdar”, OJSC “Susumanzoloto”, JSC “Polymetal” for the period 2013–2019 was carried out. Studies showed the dependence of the innovation activity of northern enterprises of non-ferrous metallurgy on the level of financial security revealed by the method of assessing the three-component coefficient. Scientifically substantiated possibility of developing and implementing a strategy of innovation development of enterprises for the medium and long term periods based on the level of financial security is shown. Enterprises with high financial security or in special cases (with additional investments with normal financial security) are able to generate innovation technologies. As the analysis has shown, the majority of northern enterprises have low financial security, which does not allow them to count on effective innovative development without attracting a significant amount of targeted investments.

The review presents the data of recent years concerning the most important modern problem — the search of the new inhibitors of coronaviruses’ reproduction. Polyphenolic compounds (phlorotannins) from terrestrial and marine plants, polyvalent bioregulators with multiple biological activity, are considered as promising compounds of this type. Polyphenols are able to interfere with different stages of coronaviruses’ life cycle. This fact characterizes polyphenols as multipurpose drugs that affect vital proteins of the pathogens. At the same time, the authors of the review draw attention to the fact that many difficulties must be overcome to develop medications based on plant polyphenols, since these compounds are characterized by complex structures, low bioavailability, as well as rapid excretion from the body. In addition, in vivo studies on animals, as well as in clinical trials, are required. Despite all the difficulties, plant polyphenols should eventually the source for creating antiviral medicines, biologically active food additives, and functional food products.

Across-trial spatial suppression in visual search
Authors: Wang Lishuang , Wang Benchi , Theeuwes Jan
Published: June 2021

In order to focus on objects of interest, humans must be able to avoid distraction by salient stimuli that are not relevant to the task at hand. Many recent studies have shown that through statistical learning we are able to suppress the location that is most likely to contain a salient distractor. Here we demonstrate a remarkable flexibility in attentional suppression. Participants had to search for a shape singleton while a color distractor singleton was present. Unbeknown to the participant, the color distractor was presented according to a consistent pattern across trials. Our findings show that participants learn this distractor sequence as they proactively suppressed the anticipated location of the distractor on the next trial. Critically, none of the participants were aware of these hidden sequences. We conclude that the spatial priority map is highly flexible, operating at a subconscious level preparing the attentional system for what will happen next.

The history of architectural and urban design has expanded its scope and started adopting new philosophical approaches from other disciplines to explore the built environment. Theorist discusses whether we still live in a humanist world where a human being has more priority over the unhuman things or not to answer that; should we design architecture and urban within an anthropocentric approach. As a recent pandemic show, things that are not human, like animals or viruses, could control and navigate a new style of living. This research will introduce Bruno Latour's ANT and Graham Harman's Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) as a new constructive method to analyse how human and unhuman bodies are equally the affective actors of daily practices in the urban realm. 19th-century Great Stink and epidemic in Victorian London will be a case study to picture urban dwellers of London that shaped determined the destiny of health and hygiene of London in 1858.

Authors: Kazaz Emriye
Published: June 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought many areas of life to a halt, from basic service areas such as education and health to social and cultural life and it caused people to isolate themselves from the outside world and to be locked in their homes for more than a year. In the dynamism of modern life, the houses used like hotels have become spaces such as workplaces, schools, sports halls and also isolation for individuals with infections in addition to the usual needs. Unfortunately, modern houses designed for certain basic needs of nuclear families have been insufficient to meet all these needs in pandemic conditions that suddenly emerged unexpectedly. However, traditional houses, with their spaces that allow different functions and flexible plan layouts, contain many design phenomena that are needed today. In this study, traditional Anatolian residential architecture will be examined in terms of plan solutions and spatial features, and inferences and evaluations will be made for the flexibility phenomenon and transformable spaces required by modern housing.

After any disaster that happens, whether natural or war, all governments and organizations accelerate to respond at all levels, humanitarian and others, to restore the damage. If this disaster is huge, it will result in a great change so that what comes after it does not resemble what it was before. In this study, it will be discussed how to respond effectively and how local and foreign authorities can cooperate to achieve the required response. Measuring the effectiveness of disaster response is not by the speed of this response, despite its importance, but the nature of intervention and its effects on the lives of people. It’s important to measure whether this intervention leads to the strengthening of urban aspects and increases the public participation and whether it gives stability to the city and population or not, and to what extent this intervention defines the future of this city in general.
Analysis of Faults in Sewage Systems with Geographical Information Systems
Authors: GÖK Selva , FIRAT Mahmut
Published: June 2021

Wastewater systems are one of the most important infrastructure elements in terms of human and environmental health. In such systems, failures are observed depending on various factors. These failures increase operating and maintenance-repair costs and create threats to human and environmental health. For this reason, these systems should be monitored regularly and the factors causing malfunction should be analyzed. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate and analyze failures occurring in sewerage systems with geographical information systems. For this, the failures in the sewage system of Malatya province between year 2015-2019 were taken into account. It has been determined that the most common types of failure are misuse, in-line sag and deformation, and in-line lubrication. In addition, the highest failure rate occurred in pipes with a diameter of 100-200 mm. In the spatial analysis of faults, inline collapse is generally observed in the central regions, while misuse faults are found to be in the system. It has been observed that factors such as pipe diameter and length, season, traffic load, ground feature, and improper use are effective in the increase in fault density.

Tilting Planets during Planet Scattering
Authors: Li Gongjie
Published: June 2021

Observational constraints on planetary spin axis have recently become possible, and they have revealed a system that favors large spin-axis misalignment, low stellar spin–orbit misalignment, and high eccentricity. To explain the origin of such systems, we propose a mechanism that could tilt the planetary spin axis during planet–planet scattering, which is a natural outcome of in situ formation and disk migration. Specifically, we show that spin–orbit resonances could occur for a short time period during the scattering processes, and excite the misalignment of a planet’s spin axis. This typically leads to planets with large spin misalignment and a wide range of eccentricities and inclinations.

Authors: Stepanova Natalia , Driianska Victoria , Korol Lesya , Snisar Lyudmyla , Lebed Larysa
Published: June 2021

Background/Aims: It was hypothesized that oxalate might be strongly involved in atherogenesis and the inflammatory pathway that could result in an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Therefore, this study aimed to address two primary research questions: to characterize the lipid profile and the pattern of pro-inflammatory cytokines according to plasma oxalic acid (POx) concentration in ESRD patients; to evaluate the potential role of elevated POx concentration in the development of CVD risk.Methods: A total of 73 participants were enrolled in this prospective, observational cohort pilot study. Among them, there were 50 ESRD patients and 23 healthy volunteers. The lipid profile and the pro-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed according to the distribution of POx concentration into tertiles. After the clinical examination, 29 hemodialysis patients and 21 peritoneal dialysis patients without prevalent CVD were observed for CVD events for 2 years. The Cox regression analysis and a set of different types of sensitivity analyses were used to determine whether elevated POx was associated with an increased risk of CVD.Results: An increasing trend in the atherogenic lipoprotein fractions and the pro-inflammatory markers as well as a linear decrease in high-density lipoprotein was significantly associated with elevated POx. POx concentration ≥ 62.9 μmol/L was significantly associated with CVD events independently of other examined CVD risk factors.Conclusions: This pilot study firstly demonstrated a potential contribution of POx to atherogenesis, inflammation and CVD risk in ESRD patients.
Fétichisme de la marchandise et ontologie sociale chez Marx
Authors: Sobel Richard
Published: June 2021

Dans l’analyse économique marxiste, quel statut épistémologique peut-on donner à la théorie du fétichisme de la marchandise ? En nous situant sur le plan de l’ontologie sociale, nous défendons l’idée que répondre à cette question revient toujours à distinguer deux interprétations de Marx : (1) l’interprétation essentialiste (le fétichisme est un phénomène de surface et économiquement secondaire) et (2) l’interprétation constructiviste (le fétichisme est fondamental s’agissant de rendre compte du mode d’être marchand). Cette distinction permet d’éclairer aussi ce qu’engage « positivement » la notion de critique chez Marx, au sens où il développe une « critique de l’économie politique ».

Depuis les années d’après-guerre, la théorie économique a connu une période de prédominance qu’elle avait rarement atteint par le passé. Jusqu’aux années 1970 elle a pris essentiellement la forme du programme de recherche de la théorie de l’équilibre économique général et sa caractéristique principale a été l’auto-suffisance scientifique : l’analyse économique était censée ne rien devoir aux autres sciences sociales. Cette situation s’est fondamentalement modifiée à partir de la fin des années 1980. Des démarches partiellement nouvelles telles que les expériences aléatoires ou les expériences de laboratoires et les approches expérimentalistes tentent de plus en plus d’imposer à la théorie économique la nécessité d’une vérification expérimentale, voire son remplacement par des constructions inductives. Ensuite, la multiplication et l’exploitation systématique des big data a parfois conduit à minimiser le rôle de la théorie économique en tant que telle. Enfin le remplacement de constructions théoriques « fermées » ou auto-contenues se réclamant peu ou prou d’une rigueur axiomatique par des constructions « ouvertes » faisant appel à d’autres sciences sociales change profondément la signification de la notion de théorie économique, y compris en recourant à la notion de système complexe. L’objet de notre contribution est d’analyser ces démarches nouvelles et de mesurer ce qu’il reste aujourd’hui de l’utilité de la théorie économique. Classification JEL : A, B2, B3, B4, B5.
2. Marxisme et théorie néoclassique. La reconstruction incertaine de John Roemer
Authors: Tarrit Fabien
Published: June 2021

Peut-on reconstruire sans la trahir la pensée économique de Marx à partir de la théorie néoclassique ? C’est la question à laquelle a tenté de répondre John Roemer. Il fut l’un des principaux contributeurs du marxisme analytique – plus précisément du marxisme de choix rationnel –, principalement au cours des années 1980. L’objectif fondateur de ce courant a été de parvenir à des conclusions proches de celles de Marx en utilisant des outils méthodologiques différents. Le programme de recherche de Roemer se fonde sur la théorie néoclassique. Nous discutons, d’un point de vue critique, la cohérence et la pertinence de cette approche. Nous nous demandons si ce qui est remis en cause est la théorie de Marx ou la possibilité de l’associer aux outils de la théorie néoclassique. JEL Classification : B24, B41, D50, P10
1. Economics and the Environment since the 1950s: An Overview
Authors: Berta Nathalie , Debref Romain , Vivien Franck-Dominique
Published: June 2021

Cet article est une introduction au numéro spécial « Economics and the environment since the 1950s: history, methodology, philosophy ». Il fait un tour d’horizon des grandes questions et thématiques qui ont structuré le champ de l’économie de l’environnement depuis son origine (débats sur les limites de la croissance, le développement soutenable, les services écosystémiques, l’évaluation monétaire de la nature…). Il présente aussi la manière dont ce champ académique s’est construit grâce à des contributions pionnières originales (Boulding, Georgescu-Roegen, Schumacher, Passet, Sachs…) et au déploiement de différents écoles et courants de pensée (économie standard de l’environnement, économie écologique, bioéconomie) qui sont, aujourd’hui encore, en concurrence. Cet article rappelle enfin que la politisation de l’environnement que l’on observe depuis les années 1950 s’est accompagnée de sa mise en économie, grâce au travail analytique opéré par les économistes pour traduire ses problématiques complexes en théories, concepts et recommandations aux décideurs.

6. Écodéveloppement et socio-économie écologique : congruences et complémentarités
Authors: Figuière Catherine , Metereau Renaud
Published: June 2021

Cet article analyse les éléments de compatibilité entre les fondamentaux de l’écodéveloppement et de la socio-économie écologique. Ces deux projets suivent en effet des trajectoires historiques parallèles et adoptent tous deux une approche en économie politique hétérodoxe en durabilité forte. Cette double congruence permet d’envisager la combinaison de ces deux projets complémentaires pour fonder une socio-économie écologique du développement. Classification JEL : Q57, O1, P16
Les démocraties du tirage au sort
Authors: Courant Dimitri
Published: June 2021

Résumé Les expérimentations délibératives basées sur des mini-publics de citoyens tirés au sort vont croissantes partout dans le monde. Cependant, ces dispositifs restent presque toujours ad hoc, laissant ainsi la porte ouverte à l’arbitraire et entraînant un débat sur leur future stabilisation. Quelles sont les pistes concurrentes envisagées pour institutionnaliser le tirage au sort et au sein de quels systèmes politiques ? J’identifie quatre modèles institutionnels de démocratie reposant sur des légitimités et des visions du politique radicalement opposées : la consultation d’élevage, la démocratie radicale, la clérôcratie représentative et la polyarchie hybride. Chacun de ses modèles de démocratie se distingue également par son rapport au conflit et à la représentation. Certains modèles pensent les mini-publics comme des instruments de légitimation des gouvernants afin d’étouffer les conflits sociaux, d’autres voient dans le tirage au sort un moyen de donner le pouvoir au peuple contre des élites jugées illégitimes, d’autres enfin font du sort le moyen d’éviter tout suffrage, électif ou référendaire.
Remote Management of the European Neighbourhood Policy
Authors: Mützelburg Irina
Published: June 2021

Cet article analyse les mécanismes et les effets de la bureaucratisation néolibérale sur les relations entre donateurs et organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) et sur les politiques migratoires extérieures de l’Union européenne (UE). Dans un monde où les principes de transparence, de rationalité et d’efficacité sont fortement valorisés, toutes les organisations impliquées dans l’aide européenne – de la Commission européenne, du Haut commissariat aux réfugiés (HCR) aux ONG locales – sont contraintes à la bureaucratisation, mais en tirent également profit pour assurer leur légitimité et leur place dans l’économie de l’aide. Cette bureaucratisation permet aux donateurs de contrôler les récipiendaires même si ces derniers disposent de certaines libertés, notamment grâce à des processus de traduction. De plus, les normes bureaucratiques néolibérales sont diffusées, acceptées et internalisées par les différents acteurs qui participent à la bureaucratisation.
Rôles des compétences transversales dans le premier face-à-face professionnel : le cas des stagiaires en reconversion professionnelle dans les métiers du conseil et de la formation
Authors: Deltand Muriel
Published: June 2021

L’auteure analyse les démarches de préservation de soi dans le cas de stagiaires en reconversion professionnelle. Se servant de deux entretiens biographiques, elle met en relief deux stratégies mises en place par deux stagiaires lors de leur premier face-à-face professionnel en situation de stage : la mobilisation de compétences transversales combinant raisonnement et résonance (Laurence) et la reproduction des gestes professionnels observés (Souleiman).

Probiotics have aroused great interest as an adjunctive treatment to periodontal therapy, due to the frequent colonisation by periodontopathogens after therapy. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse in the scientific literature, evidence of the microbiological effects of probiotics as an adjunct to periodontal therapy in the treatment of periodontal diseases (PD). Only randomised controlled trials (RCT), evaluating the microbiological effect of probiotics as an adjunct to periodontal therapy. The authors conducted a search in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and Cochrane Library to identify articles published in English until February 2020. The quality of the studies was assessed using the JADAD scale and the risk of bias was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration assessment tool. Of the 265 articles potentially relevant to this review, 10 studies were included. The most frequently used probiotic bacteria were those of the genus Lactobacillus spp. and the time of administration of the probiotics was between 14 days to 3 months. Most studies have shown that the adjuvant use of probiotics reduces the total mean counts of gram-negative anaerobic species (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola and Prevotella intermedia) and gram-negative coccobacillus (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) of subgingival plaque samples. Probiotics adjuvant to periodontal therapy reduces periodontopathogenic species in a greater proportion, compared only to periodontal therapy. Especially the Lactobacillus reuteri strain, without combination with other strains, offered a greater reduction in pathogenic bacteria associated with greater destruction of periodontal tissues and deep periodontal pockets. Researchers should perform high-quality RCT, evaluating single strains without combinations, in order to observe the microbiological benefits as adjunctive treatment of PD.
