Material Geometry of Binary Composites
Authors: Epstein Marcelo
Published: May 2021

The constitutive characterization of the uniformity and homogeneity of binary elastic composites is presented in terms of a combination of the material groupoids of the individual constituents. The incorporation of these two groupoids within a single double groupoid is proposed as a viable mathematical framework for a unified formulation of this and similar kinds of problems in continuum mechanics.
Three-Dimensional Investigation of Hydraulic Properties of Vertical Drop in the Presence of Step and Grid Dissipators
Authors: Daneshfaraz Rasoul , Aminvash Ehsan , Ghaderi Amir , Kuriqi Alban , Abraham John
Published: May 2021

In irrigation and drainage channels, vertical drops are generally used to transfer water from a higher elevation to a lower level. Downstream of these structures, measures are taken to prevent the destruction of the channel bed by the flow and reduce its destructive kinetic energy. In this study, the effect of use steps and grid dissipators on hydraulic characteristics regarding flow pattern, relative downstream depth, relative pool depth, and energy dissipation of a vertical drop was investigated by numerical simulation following the symmetry law. Two relative step heights and two grid dissipator cell sizes were used. The hydraulic model describes fully coupled three-dimensional flow with axial symmetry. For the simulation, critical depths ranging from 0.24 to 0.5 were considered. Values of low relative depth obtained from the numerical results are in satisfactory agreement with the laboratory data. The simultaneous use of step and grid dissipators increases the relative energy dissipation compared to a simple vertical drop and a vertical drop equipped with steps. By using the grid dissipators and the steps downstream of the vertical drop, the relative pool depth increases. Changing the pore size of the grid dissipators does not affect the relative depth of the pool. The simultaneous use of steps and grid dissipators reduces the downstream Froude number of the vertical drop from 3.83–5.20 to 1.46–2.00.
Static Spherically Symmetric Black Holes in Weak f(T)-Gravity
Authors: Pfeifer Christian , Schuster Sebastian
Published: May 2021

With the advent of gravitational wave astronomy and first pictures of the “shadow” of the central black hole of our milky way, theoretical analyses of black holes (and compact objects mimicking them sufficiently closely) have become more important than ever. The near future promises more and more detailed information about the observable black holes and black hole candidates. This information could lead to important advances on constraints on or evidence for modifications of general relativity. More precisely, we are studying the influence of weak teleparallel perturbations on general relativistic vacuum spacetime geometries in spherical symmetry. We find the most general family of spherically symmetric, static vacuum solutions of the theory, which are candidates for describing teleparallel black holes which emerge as perturbations to the Schwarzschild black hole. We compare our findings to results on black hole or static, spherically symmetric solutions in teleparallel gravity discussed in the literature, by comparing the predictions for classical observables such as the photon sphere, the perihelion shift, the light deflection, and the Shapiro delay. On the basis of these observables, we demonstrate that among the solutions we found, there exist spacetime geometries that lead to much weaker bounds on teleparallel gravity than those found earlier. Finally, we move on to a discussion of how the teleparallel perturbations influence the Hawking evaporation in these spacetimes.
Aptamer BC 007’s Affinity to Specific and Less-Specific Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies

Published: May 2021

COVID-19 is a pandemic respiratory disease that is caused by the highly infectious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are essential weapons that a patient with COVID-19 has to combat the disease. When now repurposing a drug, namely an aptamer that interacts with SARS-CoV-2 proteins for COVID-19 treatment (BC 007), which is, however, a neutralizer of pathogenic autoantibodies in its original indication, the possibility of also binding and neutralizing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies must be considered. Here, the highly specific virus-neutralizing antibodies have to be distinguished from the ones that also show cross-reactivity to tissues. The last-mentioned could be the origin of the widely reported SARS-CoV-2-induced autoimmunity, which should also become a target of therapy. We, therefore, used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology to assess the binding of well-characterized publicly accessible anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (CV07-209 and CV07-270) with BC 007. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, isothermal calorimetric titration, and circular dichroism spectroscopy were additionally used to test the binding of BC 007 to DNA-binding sequence segments of these antibodies. BC 007 did not bind to the highly specific neutralizing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody but did bind to the less specific one. This, however, was a lot less compared to an autoantibody of its original indication (14.2%, range 11.0–21.5%). It was also interesting to see that the less-specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody also showed a high background signal in the ELISA (binding on NeutrAvidin-coated or activated but noncoated plastic plate). These initial experiments suggest that the risk of binding and neutralizing highly specific anti-SARS CoV-2 antibodies by BC 007 should be low.

Background

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody testing in community settings may help us better understand the immune response to this virus and, therefore, help guide public health efforts.

Aim

To conduct a seroprevalence study of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in Irish GP clinics.

Design & setting

Participants were 172 staff and 799 patients from 15 general practices in the Midwest region of Ireland.

Method

This seroprevalence study utilised two manufacturers’ point-of-care (POC) SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin M (IgM)—IgG combined antibody tests, which were offered to patients and staff in general practice from 15 June to 10 July 2020.

Results

IgG seroprevalence was 12.6% in patients attending general practice and 11.1% in staff working in general practice, with administrative staff having the lowest seroprevalence at 2.5% and nursing staff having the highest at 17.6%. Previous symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 and history of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test were associated with higher seroprevalence. IgG antibodies were detected in approximately 80% of participants who had a previous PCR-confirmed infection. Average length of time between participants’ positive PCR test and positive IgG antibody test was 83 days.

Conclusion

Patients and healthcare staff in general practice in Ireland had relatively high rates of IgG to SARS-CoV-2 compared with the national average between 15 June and 10 July 2020 (1.7%). Four-fifths of participants with a history of confirmed COVID-19 disease still had detectable antibodies an average of 12 weeks post-infection. While not proof of immunity, SARS-CoV-2 POC testing can be used to estimate IgG seroprevalence in general practice settings.
ESTIMATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF MECHANICAL ACTIVATION OF SILICA-CONTAINING ROCKS
Authors: Shamanina A. , Ayzenshtadt Arkadiy , Kononova V. , Danilov V.
Published: May 2021

Rocks of various chemical and mineralogical composition are widely used as raw materials in the construction materials industry. At the same time, preliminary mechanical activation of mineral raw materials to a finely dispersed state contributes to a change in the energy potential of the system and affects the tendency of the surface of a finely dispersed system to transformations. Studies of the physicochemical activity of mechanically activated rocks allow to determine the rational areas of use of mineral components. The paper presents the results of evaluating the efficiency of mechanical activation of silica-containing raw materials by the values of surface activity (ks), defined as the ratio of the value of the free surface energy to the specific mass energy of atomization. Fine powders are obtained by grinding in a planetary ball mill to a different specific surface area of quartz sand (1200 – 3000 m2/kg) and polymineral sand (700 – 1335 m2/kg). The presence of a functional dependence of the surface activity on the time parameters of mechanical activation of the studied rocks is shown. The mechanical activation of the feedstock at the optimal time of its grinding makes it possible to achieve a given value of the surface activity. It is recommended to use the ks parameter as a criterion for assessing the efficiency of the process of mechanical activation of silica-containing rocks
REDUCTION OF DIFFERENTLY DIRECTIONAL VIBRATIONS TO ASYMMETRICAL BY CHANGING THE RATIO OF VALUES COMPOSING THE DRIVING FORCE

Published: May 2021

Vibrating machines play a primary role in the implementation of programs in the construction and road construction kit. The improvement of vibration machines allows to significantly increase the speed of construction and road construction work. The main working unit of a vibrating machine is a vibrating device or vibrator. Currently, in the industry, vibration devices are used with circular or directional, along a certain straight line of vibrations. Further improvement of vibrating machines is carried out in the direction of creating vibration devices with asymmetric vibrations. At present, there are practically no vibrating machines with asymmetric vibrations. These machines allow to distinguish between the "working" process phase and the "idle" phase within each oscillation period. Moreover, the value of the driving force in the phase of performing useful work is several times higher than the value of the driving force in the direction of idling. Therefore, much less work is spent on idling. This allows to get rid of massive elements - overloads that extinguish the magnitude of the driving force in the direction of idling. Therefore, the urgency is to develop a method for converting existing machines with directional vibrations into asymmetric ones, with a given coefficient of asymmetry of the driving force. This makes it possible to reduce the specific indicators of the metal consumption of vibrating machines and the energy consumption of the work performed.

Kasem, her dilde kullanılmakla beraber özellikle Arapçada hem yazı hem de konuşma dilinde sözü pekiştirmek amacıyla sıkça başvurulan bir üsluptur. Cahiliye dönemine ait şiir ve nesirlerin yanı sıra Kur’ân-ı Kerim’de de kasem üslubunun geniş yer tutması, önemini daha da artırmıştır. Bu itibarla kasem hem tefsir, fıkıh, hadis gibi din ilimlerinde hem de sarf, nahiv, belâgat gibi dil ilimlerinin konusu olmuştur. İfade ettiği anlam ve kendisini oluşturan unsurlar açısından kasemin birçok formu bulunmaktadır. Söz konusu formlardan biri de "lâ uksimu" formudur. Bu form Kur’ân’a özgü olup Arapça konuşma ve yazı dilinde kullanılmamıştır. Bu nedenle “lâ uksimu” formu gerek anlam gerekse gramer açısından geniş bir şekilde tartışılmıştır. Bu çalışmada kasemin genel özellikleri ve formları incelenerek "lâ uksimu" formu ile ilgili tartışmaların doğru bir şekilde anlaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu konuda ileri sürülen görüşler mukayese edilmiş ve konuyla ilgili kanaat ortaya konmuştur.
Las políticas culturales en Zacatecas a examen
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Hernández Palestino Daniel
Published: May 2021

El proyecto de desarrollo turístico enmarcado en el modelo neoliberal pretende atraer inversionistas privadas y reinsertar a Zacatecas en la lógica de la globalización. Los gobiernos priistas de los ochentas y noventas implementan un proyecto orientado a la mercantilización y ampliación de la oferta cultural. Con la alternancia, los posteriores gobiernos perredistas pretenden construir una imagen urbana renovada con una infraestructura cultural, además de que promueven actividades culturales con pretensiones internacionales. Sin embargo, el desencadenamiento de la violencia criminal y la descomposición social durante la presidencia de Felipe Calderón trastocaron el proyecto turístico cultural generando procesos de discontinuidad y ruptura en la política cultural.

INTELLECTUAL METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE FACTORS OF THE CRIMINAL LANDSCAPE OF RUSSIAN REGIONS
Authors: Lashkarev A.N.
Published: May 2021

In the context of significant transformations taking place in society, it is especially important to prevent a slide into chaos, and to ensure a stable and secure socio-economic environment. One of the main problems is the heterogeneity of management objects, in this case, the structure of crime in the regions of the Russian Federation. To determine the similarity of the structure of the regional economy, the author compares the structure of indicators of criminal statistics per registered crime. The author presents the "criminal profile" of each region as a set of numbers (a vector) that represents the relative contribution of each indicator of criminal statistics, thus leveling the factor of the size of the regions. Thus, the overall level of crime by region is not compared, only the share of indicators of criminal statistics is analyzed, which can be called the "criminal profile" of the region. Reasonable conclusions are made about the presence of objective prerequisites for the allocation of groups of regions. Possible ways of practical application of this classification are considered.
PRESUMPTION IN MODERN LAW: CONCEPT AND LEGAL MEANING
Authors: Anchishina E.A.
Published: May 2021

This article presents an analysis of the main existing approaches to the definition of the concept of legal presumption and its essence (logical-philosophical, legal and normative). The author's point of view on the presumption as a method of legal technique is substantiated, which is reflected both directly and indirectly in regulatory legal acts, as well as in the legal provisions of judicial practice, which is confirmed by specific examples from the Resolutions of the Plenums of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation and other acts of judicial interpretation. In the course of researching the legal meaning of presumptions, the author highlighted its legal and practical aspect, which is expressed in overcoming the state of uncertainty regarding the existence of certain legal phenomena by fixing a certain assumption and, as a result, releasing a person interested in recognizing the existence of a fact from proving this existence. Particular attention is paid to the problem of determining the limits of the application of various legal presumptions and the admissibility of their simultaneous existence on the example of presumptions in civil law.

This publication provides an overview of the current domestic legislation providing for responsibility for the dissemination of false information in the conditions of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) (Articles 2071 and 2072 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Article 13.15 of the Administrative Code), problems arising in the process of applying these norms. The authors pay close attention to the existence of technical and legal errors in criminal law norms, as well as to the existence of sectoral competition between administrative and criminal laws in forensic practice. The present article attempts to study the elements of the corpus delicti that cause the most difficulties among law enforcement agencies and specialists in the field of criminal law doctrine. In addition, attention is paid to foreign experience in countering such criminal acts. The scientific study also reviews the available explanations of the highest court published during the epidemic, including those affecting the legal assessment of crimes under Art. 2071 and 2072 of the Criminal Code. Based on the research carried out, including the study of law enforcement materials, measures are proposed to improve the existing legislation in the field of combating the dissemination of inaccurate information about coronavirus and its practice.

Threats to National Spatial Development: Features of Assessment
Authors: Lavrikova Yu. G. , Suvorova A. V.
Published: May 2021

Aim.The presented study aims to assess threats to national spatial development, determining the significance of each threat.

Tasks.The authors identify factors that influence the specific aspects of the national socioeconomic system's spatial organization; propose and test methodological tools for assessing parameters that make it possible to determine the scale of such threats.

Methods.This study uses a proprietary methodology to assess the features of spatial transformations by determining the values of a set of indicators. These can be interpreted by comparing the obtained values with threshold values, each determined individually, making it possible to calculate the significance of the estimated risk (red, yellow, or green zone).

Results.By summarizing the scientific literature, the authors identify factors of spatial development in the Russian Federation related to the parameters of spatial integrity, connectivity, uniformity, and efficiency of use. An algorithm for analyzing threats to national spatial development is proposed, which makes allowance for these specific factors. Indicators that characterize the state of each factor and criteria that make it possible to interpret each of the considered parameters are selected. Testing of the proposed methodology shows the significance of threats to spatial development in the Russian Federation. The threat of disrupting sustainable infrastructure connections between territories has a high degree of risk. The prospect of losing certain elements of the country's spatial framework, increasing spatial fragmentation, reducing connectivity and efficiency of the socio-economic space have a moderate degree of risk (although gradual deterioration of parameters associated with these threats could complicate the situation in the future, moving these threats to the "red" zone).

Conclusions. Testing of the proposed methodological tools makes it possible to identify threats to national spatial development and assess their significance for Russia. The results obtained can be useful to federal authorities responsible for implementing regional policies and setting guidelines for the country's spatial development.
Creativity as a Necessary Component of Entrepreneurial Competencies Development
Authors: Litau E. Ya.
Published: May 2021

Aim. To study and design the theoretical and methodological framework for understanding the phenomenon of creativity, creativeness and their role in development of entrepreneurial competencies.

Tasks. The key objective of this article is to conceptualize the category of “entrepreneurial creativity” as a necessary component of entrepreneurial competencies development, and its significance for innovation and project activities in the modern economic paradigm.

Methods. The basis of this paper is the transdisciplinary approach combining philosophical and ethical provisions of the theory of synergetics, metaethics, and semantic theories that are fundamental for research in the field of entrepreneurship theory. The research is based on the methodological approach that provides synthesis of the methods of individualism and holism, which makes it possible to expand the range of issues of the theory of entrepreneurship development in accordance with the intersubjective nature of economic reality and the irrational component of entrepreneurial behavior.

Results. Detachment from practical interest should transform intellectual limits into limitless possibilities of entrepreneurial creativity. Irrationality in logic, which is beyond reason, contradicts logic, is usually opposed to the rational as the reasonable, expedient, justified. Any innovative problem seems to be solved not only exclusively in terms of the rational. The task of the theory of entrepreneurship is to combine the rational and the irrational on the basis of  the new methodological principle and in accordance with regularities, if any.

Conclusions.In modern Russian, for words “creativity” and “creativeness”, the tendency of interchangeability is increasing, due to merging of their semantic fields. However, the analysis shows that they have different collocability, and form various set phrases. Metalinguistic reflection requires strengthening the “creativity — creativeness” opposition. Creativity is associated with non-standard solutions or deviant behavioral features, while for innovative activities, the primary meaning of creativeness is important: creation of something new, previously non-existent. Creative destruction, which is the consequence of implementing the creative innovative idea, inevitably results in changing the present, and constructing the future. In search of meaningful response to increasing complexity and uncertainty of world development, it is necessary to design such a scientific paradigm that will allow building in entrepreneurs’ worldview structural links connecting ethics, aesthetics and economics in a way that they contribute to development of a positive suprasystem effect in the field of innovation and project activities. This is an important methodological technique for deepening self-consciousness.
Economics, Lobbying, and Geopolitics as Factors Shaping the Uncertainties and Risks of Defense Spending
Authors: Bakulina A. A. , Zemskov V. V. , Sinyavskiy N. G.
Published: May 2021

Aim.The presented study aims to describe and analyze major opinions regarding the economic, lobbying, and geopolitical aspects of defense budget formation.

Tasks.The authors qualitatively and quantitatively assess the impact of economic, geopolitical, and lobbying factors on the level of Russian military spending.

Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition to examine the effects of economic, geopolitical, and lobbying factors on the level of Russian military spending in various aspects.

Results.Currently, there is uncertainty in assessing the impact of economic and geopolitical factors, as well as lobbying, on the level of military spending. However, it can be concluded that while the factor of lobbying for the interests of companies increases the level of military spending unilaterally, the interaction between the economy and military security is assessed by scientists as negative, positive, or neutral. A certain level of defense spending is established by balancing the influence of economic, geopolitical, and lobbying factors. At the same time, the capability to significantly “boost” defense spending is a distinctive feature of geopolitical factors.

Conclusions.In today’s relatively calm geopolitical environment, the level of Russian defense spending stands at 65-75 billion US dollars (2.5–4.0% of GNI). However, geopolitical factors can raise the level of military spending to 300 billion dollars per year or even higher (20% of GNI and more). According to rough estimates based on data on the formation of US military spending, lobbying influences about 10% of defense spending.
The Role of B2B E-Commerce Tools in the Strategies of Russian Agro-Industrial Holdings in the Meat Industry
Authors: Grinchenko M. D.
Published: May 2021

Aim. The presented study aims to substantiate the strategic role of B2B e-commerce tools for agro-industrial holdings in the Russian meat industry.

Tasks.The authors identify global and national trends and patterns that increase the importance of e-commerce in the exchange of goods between companies; determine the role of B2B e-commerce tools in the strategic management systems of agro-industrial holdings; illustrate the strategic importance of B2B e-commerce tools for the development of agro-industrial holdings.

Methods.This study uses the theory of strategy and the strategizing methodology developed by foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), PhD in Economics, Professor V.L. Kvint to evaluate the role of B2B e-commerce tools in the strategies of agro-industrial holdings in the Russian meat industry. The positive effect of these tools on the population’s quality of life is highlighted as the main reference point of any strategy.

Results. Global trends in the fields of robotics, digitalization, and global epidemics are increasing the importance of e-commerce, including in the meat industry, where agro-industrial holdings have a high potential to take leading positions. The urgency of seizing this opportunity is emphasized by the complex economic, political, and epidemiological situation that dictates the need for the strategic modernization of business. The theory of strategy and the strategizing methodology developed by V.L. Kvint define innovation as a source of strategic advantage. When considered from the perspective of Schumpeter’s concept of new combinations, B2B e-commerce tools can serve the purpose of reorganizing and developing a new sales market, making it possible to accelerate turnover with partners, increase the speed of demand analysis and sales management, optimize a number of key business processes, provide a flexible pricing policy, improve the image of enterprises, and create a strategic supply of demand for emergency periods.

Conclusions. The introduction and use of B2B e-commerce tools can provide a number of competitive advantages for agro-industrial holdings, increasing their sustainability during emergency periods and improving the physical and economic accessibility of meat products to consumers.
