Locating Conical Intersections Using the Quasidegenerate Partially and Strongly Contracted NEVPT2 Methods
Authors: Nishimoto Yoshio
Published: February 2020

Conical intersections (CIs) play an important role in photochemistry because they sometimes govern the non-radiative decay process. However, accurate characterizations of CIs are not always straightforward. In this study, analytic gradients and interstate coupling vectors for the quasidegenerate partially and strongly contracted n-electron valence state second-order perturbation theory (QD-PC-NEVPT2 and QD-SC-NEVPT2) were developed and applied to locating CIs of benzene. The pilot application demonstrates that the results of both the methods are similar to the extended multistate complete active space second-order perturbation theory (XMS-CASPT2), while the lack of dynamic electron correlation resulted in a deviation of 0.7 eV.

Published: February 2020

A new, cost-effective and fast chromatographic method using sulfated β-cyclodextrin (SβCD) as a chiral mobile phase additive (CMPA) was developed and validated for the enantiomeric separation of milnacipran. Milnacipran is an anti-depressant drug. Levo-milnacipran is the active enantiomer with less adverse effects than dextro-milnacipran. Hence, it is imperative to separate the enantiomers of milnacipran. Various parameters affecting enantiomeric resolution, for instance, the effect of type and concentration of cyclodextrins, the effect of pH of the mobile phase, effect of type and concentration of the organic solvent in the mobile phase and effect of type of achiral column, were investigated. We demonstrated successful resolution of enantiomers of milnacipran on reverse-phase HPLC with Kinetex C8 column (150x4.6mm, 5µ), using a mobile phase consisting of 18:82 v/v acetonitrile: 10mM sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate dihydrate buffer pH 3.0 (adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) containing 10mM SβCD with a flow rate 1.0 ml/minute. The column temperature was ambient and UV detection was carried out at 227 nm with an injection volume of 20µl. This method for enantiomeric separation of milnacipran was validated in accordance with ICH guidelines and successfully applied to the marketed formulation of Levomilnacipran. Furthermore, molecular docking was used to identify the chiral recognition mechanism. The results of molecular docking corroborated with our experimental findings.
Characterization of the Fe Metalloproteome of a Ubiquitous Marine Heterotroph, Pseudoalteromonas (BB2-AT2): Multiple Bacterioferritin Copies Enable Significant Fe Storage
Authors: Mazzotta Michael , McIlvin Matthew R. , Saito Mak A.
Published: February 2020

Fe is a critical nutrient to the marine biological pump, which is the process that exports photosynthetically fixed carbon in

the upper ocean to the deep ocean. Fe limitation controls photosynthetic activity in large regions of the oceans, and the subsequent degradation of exported photosynthetic material is facilitated particularly by marine heterotrophic bacteria. Despite their importance in the carbon cycle and the scarcity of Fe in seawater, the Fe requirements, storage and cytosolic utilization of these marine heterotrophs has been less studied. Here, we characterized the Fe metallome of Pseudoalteromonas (BB2-AT2). We found that with two copies of bacterioferritin (Bfr), Pseudoalteromonas possesses substantial capacity for luxury uptake of Fe. Fe:C in the whole cell metallome was estimated (assuming C:P stoichiometry ~51:1) to be between ~83 μmol:mol Fe:C, ~11 fold higher than prior marine bacteria surveys, that could support growth for at least 2.6 divisions in the absence of further Fe acquisition. Under these replete conditions, other major cytosolic Fe associated proteins were observed including superoxide dismutase (SodA; with other metal SOD isoforms absent under Fe replete conditions) and catalase (KatG) involved in reactive oxygen stress mitigation and aconitase (AcnB), succinate dehydrogenase (FrdB) and cytochromes (QcrA and Cyt1) involved in respiration. With the aid of singular value decomposition (SVD), we were able to computationally attribute peaks within the metallome to specific metalloproteins contributors. An Fe complex TonB transporter associated with the closely related Alteromonas bacterium was found to be abundant within the Pacific Ocean mesopelagic environment. Despite the extreme scarcity of Fe in seawater, the marine heterotroph, Pseudoalteromonas, has expansive Fe storage capacity and utilization strategies, implying that, within detritus and sinking particle environments, there is significant opportunity for Fe acquisition. Together these results imply an evolved dedication of marine Pseudoalteromonas to maintaining an Fe metalloproteome, likely due to its dependence on Fe-based respiratory metabolism.

CRKandCRKL(CRK-like) encode adapter proteins with similar biochemical properties. Here, we show that a 50% reduction of the family-combined dosage generates developmental defects, including aspects of DiGeorge/del22q11 syndrome in mice. Like the mouse homologs of two 22q11.21 genesCRKLandTBX1,CrkandTbx1also genetically interact, thus suggesting that pathways shared by the three genes participate in organogenesis affected in the syndrome. We also show thatCrkandCrklare required during mesoderm development, andCrk/Crkldeficiency results in small cell size and abnormal mesenchyme behavior in primary embryonic fibroblasts. Our systems-wide analyses reveal impaired glycolysis, associated with low Hif1a protein levels as well as reduced histone H3K27 acetylation in several key glycolysis genes. Furthermore,Crk/Crkldeficiency sensitizes MEFs to 2-deoxy-D-glucose, a competitive inhibitor of glycolysis, to induce cell blebbing. Activated Rapgef1, a Crk/Crkl-downstream effector, rescues several aspects of the cell phenotype, including proliferation, cell size, focal adhesions, and phosphorylation of p70 S6k1 and ribosomal protein S6. Our investigations demonstrate that Crk/Crkl-shared pathways orchestrate metabolic homeostasis and cell behavior through widespread epigenetic controls.

Authors: S.Ramesh  , B.A.Vasu
Published: February 2020

This paper is an attempt to assess if the manufacturing process of paper machine is in statistical control thereby improving the quality of paper being produced in a paper industry at the time of process itself. Quality is the foremost criteria for achieving the business target. Therefore, emphasis was made on controlling the quality of paper at the time of manufacturing process itself, rather than checking the finished lots at a later time.  This control on quality will help the industry deduct the small shift in the process parameters and modify the operating characteristics at the time of production itself rather than receiving complaints from customers at a later stage.  This paper describes controlling quality at the time of manufacture itself and helps the industry to concentrate on quality at low cost. The researcher has collected primary data at a leading paper industry during October, 2019.  Though X-bar and Range charges were primarily used, CUSUM charts were used to sense the minor shifts in manufacturing process, to explore the possibility of adjusting process parameters during manufacture of paper.
Social-Engineer 'Civil Servants' Historical Development & Common Law Perspective
Authors: Siddharth Thapliyal  , Poonam Rawat
Published: February 2020

Civil services in India are modeled upon the pattern of Britain. Still there are some important defenses between the law relating to civil servants in England and India. The expression civil post has been subject of judicial interpretation. The safeguard to Govt. servants in India has been provided in Indian constitution under Article and fundamental rights against doctrine of pleasure enumerated in Article 3l0. The doctrine pleasure is originated from English law through East India Company when British directly took over the command of India from East India Company. The doctrine of pleasure was prerogative of king in England. Which means govt. servants used to hold office during the pleasure of king or crown and his services could be terminated at any stage with giving him opportunity unless provided in statute. The crown was not bound by the terms and conditions of employment and terms of contract. It was considered that, king can do no wrong. There were direct relation between crown and its servants and the crown was empowered to terminate the services of its servant without affording them opportunity of hearing or without pay them any retrenchment compensation, pension benefits, damages for wrongful termination or any other relief which are applicable in present era.

Outrageous seasonal fixation in visitor landings and overnights is distinguished. Conservative, business, biological and socio-social ramifications emerging from the tourism seasonality are explained and recommendations for future exercises to relieve seasonal convergence of the tourism are given. The paper adds to the seasonality writing by applying distinctive estimation strategies in a holist path and by nitty gritty elaboration of suggestions emerging from seasonal centralization of visitor exercises. The tourism is one of the main and quickest developing ventures on the planet (Volvo, 2010). The significance of the tourism on the planet economy is featured in the World Travel and Tourism Council report (WTTC 2017). As indicated by the yearly research in 2016 all out commitment of Travel and Tourism to GDP was 10.2% of absolute GDP, the complete commitment of Travel and Tourism to business was 9,6%, guest sends out created USD1,401.5bn (6,6% of all out fares), while the commitment of Travel and the tourism to add up to venture was 4,4%. The tourism is viewed as a financial generator, particularly in less created nations. Economies are searching for a financial leap forward through the tourism. The principle accomplishment is the expansion in visitor landings and overnights, whereby the tourism is developing under uncontrolled conditions.
An Empirical Study on Efficient Market Hypothesis with reference to FMCG Sector
Authors: Nitin Tanted  , Prashant Mistry
Published: February 2020

One of the highly controversial issues in the area of finance is “Efficient Market Hypothesis”. Efficient Market Hypothesis states that, “In an efficient market, all available price information is reflected in the stock prices and it is not possible to generate abnormal returns compared to other investors.” A lot of studies conducted previouslyto test the Efficient Market Hypothesis, confirmed the theory until recent years, when some academicians found it to be non-applicable in financial markets. According to them, it is possible to forecast the stock price movements using Technical Analysis. The results of various studies have been inconclusive and indefinite about the issue. This study attempted to test the efficiency of FMCG Sector stocks in India in its weak form. For the study, closing prices of top 10 stocks from Nifty FMCG index has been taken for the 5-year period ranging from 1st October 2014 to 30th September 2019. Wald-Wolfowitz Run test has been used to test the haphazard movements in the stock price movements. The results indicated that FMCG sector stocks does support the Efficient Market Hypothesis and exhibit efficiency in its weak form. Hence, it is not possible to accurately predict the price movements of these stocks.

Authors: Dr. Parasharam. A. Patil  , Dr. R. A. Sathish
Published: February 2020

The governments of India and other developing countries have made Financial Inclusion a priority – evidenced by policy development, regulatory reform and new funding vehicles. The government of India has set a target of reaching full inclusion by 2015. These objectives will be achieved through financial instruments, such as micro credit, which has achieved positive results, helping thousands of the world’s poor to lift themselves out of poverty. This paper examines the socio-economic impact of financial inclusion on rural people in Goa.

 

It is now well understood that financial inclusion helps the poor in more viable and profitable way by providing them ability to do business with banks and other financial institutions. The provision of uncomplicated, small, affordable products can help bring low-income families into the formal financial sector. Taking into account their seasonal inflow of income from agricultural operations, migration from one place to another, and seasonal and irregular work availability and income, the existing financial system needs to be designed to suit their requirements. Mainstream financial institutions such as banks have an important role to play in this effort, not as a social obligation, but as a pure business proposition.

Psychological learning its capacity for learning from analyzing other people's choices as well as the results of such decision-making tactics; are detrimental to human development and social progress. The web today offers unparalleled social value. But using this indication correctly needs the ability to deduct various facts and figures. We investigated how the amount of comments affect human’s personal understanding of the customer review ratings; a possible predictor for both the success about an object as well as the actual overall review rates. The objective has been to gather statistical data about consumer behavioral facts. We modeled the attributes of "an intuitive researcher" between a statistical preliminary data particularly in comparison to the conduct of the investigational respondents in hundreds of feedbacks published on ebay.com. Under some cases a commodity with much more ratings were compared to the item with less ratings, on applying the mathematical formula which suggested that the first one is considerably of lower value than the second. Generally, the views of respondents indicated that concrete analytical assumptions could not be achieved by them.

reaction which has an essential role in food processing to improve the appearance, taste
and functional properties of food. In halal authentication, results could be used to
differentiate the sources of gelatine based on the colour and flavour. Since many factors
can influence the reaction, it is important to study and optimize the Maillard reaction in a
gelatine model system using response surface method, applied to optimize the processing
of bovine gelatine-xylose to improve the Maillard reaction products. In this study, the
effects of initial pH, temperature, and heating time to browning intensity of melanoidin
were evaluated. The increasing of initial pH, temperature and heating time were associated
with an enhanced browning intensity of Maillard reaction products. This study
demonstrated that the coefficient of determination 0.8429 reveals the response surface
reduced linear model is an adequate model for browning intensity of Maillard reaction of
the bovine gelatine-xylose system. For a system with 5% of gelatine solution and 0.75 g of
xylose, the optimum condition for the browning process obtained was initial of pH 10.92,
temperature of 140°C and heating time of 37.28 mins. The predicted results at optimum
conditions coincided well with the experimental value with the relative error of less than
5%.

Factors of Resistance to Global Economic Threats
Authors: Kazantsev S. V.
Published: February 2020

In the process of evolution, all living beings on our planet are exposed to internal and external forces, conditions and circumstances, which are adverse, harmful and dangerous for its existence and reproduction. In the field of economy, these are periodic crises of overproduction, fair and unfair competition, various prohibitions, blockades and sanctions. The purpose of this paper is to determine the conditions, forces and circumstances (resistance factors), which ensure the resistance of the country, its economy and the state to such harmful effects, that can cause damage, disrupt and even interrupt the process of normal development. In our days, such damage to the economy of a country may be caused by various types of sanctions, imposed, as a rule, by a group of States against legal entities and persons of any country. The author of this paper discusses three areas of finding sources of resilience. They are habitat, endangered object (in our case — society), available means of protection. These areas were chosen because resistance to harmful effects and elimination of their consequences is carried out, first of all, by the object of such effects: society of people engaged in the conscious economic activity; a habitat of human society; and, finally, the resources and protection means which are available to society.

Topic. The subject of the article is the analysis of approaches to overcoming the stagnation of scientific and technological development of the Russian economy in the context of the emerging system of strategic planning in the Russian Federation.

Purpose. The authors set the following main tasks. First — based on the assessment of the current situation in the field of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation — to analyse the tools used for strategic planning of scientific and technological development for their internal connectivity. Second — based on analysis mentioned above — to form the directions of further development and improvement of the formed system of strategic planning of scientific and technological development in the RF.

Methods. The logistic analysis of the developed documents of strategic planning of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation on the subject of their substantial conjugacy and compliance with the logic and requirements of the Federal law No. 172 “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation” made it possible to formulate proposals for its further development and improvement.

Results. The analysis showed that Federal law No. 172 “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation” forms the conceptual basis for strategic planning of scientific and technological development in the RF. Further development and improvement of the formed system of strategic planning of scientific and technological development of the RF should take place in the direction of strengthening the substantive interface of strategic planning documents (strategies and programs) at the Federal level with similar documents at the industry and regional levels. To this end, it is necessary, first, to finalize, in the context of the tasks of scientific and technological development, the methodological requirements for the documents of the sectoral and regional level and, secondly, to ensure the logic (sequence) of the development of such documents, allowing to really ensuring their meaningful internal relationship.
BRICS Summits: A Discussion Club or Generator of Ideas of Social and Economic Development?
Authors: Perskaya V. V. , Revenko N. S.
Published: February 2020

The survey objective is to analyse the implementation of BRICS summits decisions and to identify emerging problems. It was carried out using the deductive method as well as the methods of comparative analysis, expert assessments, historical analogies. Support of the WTO, cooperation development in the areas of energy, transport, agriculture, environmental protection, culture, innovative processes stimulation, the global financial security strengthening are traditionally in the focus of summits’ attention. The new cooperation area is the enjoyment of opportunities associated with the use of information and communication technologies. However, the practice of implementing decisions taken is too bureaucratic, and the assessment of its effectiveness is formalised due to the lack of reliable business contacts between research teams, schools of thought or universities. Even with the allocation of funds for a specific task, it is difficult to find a team to complete it effectively. Therefore, even a clearly defined mechanism does not ensure the objective to be implemented, and consultations and meetings held at the working groups level are reduced to an exchange of views. It is essential to name in the BRICS documents specific organisations responsible for the implementation of decisions. It is advisable to advise national news agencies to enhance coverage of the BRICS partnership.
Neo-industrialization and “Servitization”: Is There a Contradiction?
Authors: Tolkachev S. A. , Bykov A. A. , Gluhova N. M.
Published: February 2020

Taking into account the results of the study outlined in the 2017 World Bank Group’s Global Value Chains Development Report, the authors considered the main factors of the growth in the share of services in international trade and defined the concepts of direct and indirect value-added services in exports. Further, the authors calculated the indicators of international trade statistics for value-added for Russia and other countries. A method for estimating the share of services in exports according to the national standard for inter-sectoral balance, as well as approaches to the description of national value chains of services, is proposed. International comparisons are carried out in the context of these indicators. Indicators (the share of direct and indirect services in exports, the share of IT services in intermediate consumption of services) prove that Russia is approaching the world average. However, investment in the intellectual property of Russia is much lower than in other countries of comparable size. It can lead to underproduction of intellectual services. The growth in the share of services is a global trend and is not the result of de-industrialisation. Information and communications services help accelerate the growth of manufacturing industries, including machinery and equipment.

Initially, the author revealed the content of the concept, the possibility of using technologies of “smart” city for purposes of territorial management and socio-economic development. The author showed that the central role for the successful realisation of the concept is played by human capital and readiness of society for changes, infrastructure base, sustainable interaction of state structures, scientific and technical institutions and business. From now on, the author investigated the possibility of digitalisation of urban management in Moscow, such aspects as experience and preparation for implementation of programs of “smart” city, the level of digital infrastructure development, the necessary institutional base for innovation, the level of human capital, the characteristics of the technological solutions are analyzed. Despite the existence of the institutional and infrastructure base for the implementation of the concept “Smart city”, for the city administration in the future, it will be a relevant activity to build sufficient communication with the population to study the readiness of the latter to the large-scale introduction of artificial intelligence technologies and data collection. It is also necessary to develop the urban digital infrastructure. For “Smart city” projects are considered to be megaprojects, there will also be a demand for competent project management, the interaction between political institutions, scientific and technology organisations. The results of this study can be applied to the analysis of various problems related to the development and implementation of digital technologies.

Authors: Tagaeva T. O. , Kazantseva L. K.
Published: February 2020

The article analyses the state of public health in modern Russia, the dynamics of demographic indicators, healthy life expectancy, primary and general morbidity, disability, mortality in infancy and working age. We also present comparisons using international statistics from the World Bank, the World Health Organization and the OECD. Further, we give the characteristic of the factors influencing public health in Russia. The article presents the results of Russian researchers of public health and their foreign colleagues, showing that most of the deaths and diseases of Russians are the result of an incorrect lifestyle. The most significant contribution to mortality and health deterioration has such phenomena as high blood pressure (which itself is a consequence of an unhealthy lifestyle), alcohol abuse, smoking and overweight. The most detailed attention we paid to the underfunding of the health care industry and the negative consequences of the process of its reform.
The Main Stages of the Formation of Israel National Innovation System in the XX Century
Authors: Korotkov I. G.
Published: February 2020

From the middle of the XIX century up to the end of the XX century, Israel has developed from an agrarian country to the country with an industrial economy and advanced science sector. A significant part of the immigrants of the Jewish community of Palestine were representatives of academic science and engineers. Their number was periodically replenished by highly educated immigrants from Europe. Scientists, university professors and engineers have become the only “natural” resource available to the country in abundance. The first successes Israel scientists have achieved in the field of agriculture — they invented the drip irrigation and its hybrid varieties, leading to high yields in severe local conditions. The Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS), established in 1969, played a leading role in the development of Israeli science and technology. The influence of the military-industrial complex on the formation of Israel NIS was significant. The high technologies developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were further adapted for the civilian market. IDF has also become a provider of highly qualified personnel for civilian industries. In 1950–1960 Israel established specialized transfer companies based on leading national universities to commercialise technologies developed at universities and research institutes. The successful experience of state support of innovations in Israel has become an example for many countries, including Russia.
Development of Agglomerations as a Principle of Territorial Management (On the Example of the Moscow Region)
Authors: Laffakh A. M.
Published: February 2020

During the development of humankind, there were settlements based on which states were formed. Some of the settlements were transformed into cities, the pace of development of which led to the creation of territorial associations connected by a single center of development —  urban agglomerations. Relying on the world and domestic experience in the development of agglomerations, it follows that they are a new kind of territorial development. They have become a new challenge in the context of the development of the economies of individual cities, where the main jobs were concentrated, and their creation — a valuable resource for improving transport infrastructure and economic stability. In the last ten years, this trend has become widespread in the Russian Federation within Moscow and the Moscow region as regions interconnected in terms of economic, social and labour resources, as well as geographical location, which caused changes in the urban policy of the two regions. To date, the study of urban agglomerations is particularly relevant, as there is a crucial stage in the formation of a new territorial division, in which the realities of life interact with the experience of urban planning and territorial administration. The article considers the concept of “urban agglomerations”, the definition and the order of its formation; analysed the possibilities of implementing “agglomerations” as a new kind of urban planning policy; also analysed the development of Moscow region in the period from 2011 till our days with further planning until 2025.
The Struggle of the Leading World Powers for the Formation of the “Staff Reserve” of the Elite Community of Kazakhstan in the Context of the Launched Transition of State Power
Authors: Osinina D. D.
Published: February 2020

During the transition of power, the analysis of the “staff reserve” of the state becomes a priority topic. In particular, the worldview of the growing elite is of particular interest. One of the channels of influence on the worldview of young people is education. On the example of Kazakhstan, the author analyzes the activities of the world powers — China, the USA, Russia and Turkey — regarding the promotion of the policy of “soft power” in the country, namely, the impact through educational institutions on the worldview of the “staff reserve” of the elite community of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The system of views, which is formed under the influence of a system of values, is reflected in the political orientations of the younger generation. In this regard, the education of a young man in the United States or China affects the formation of his political views and relations to a particular state, as well as the model of development of his own state.
The Spark Will Ignite the Flame. The Countries of Europe Towards the First World War (Dedicated to the 105th Anniversary of the First World War)
Authors: Yastremskiy​ A. M.
Published: February 2020

The First World War has become almost inevitable as a result of the intertwining of different interests of the great powers in the Balkans. The explosive situation gradually escalated and eventually led to irreversible consequences. War became inevitable, as in Europe, on the one hand, some forces prepared and craved war. On the other hand, there were no forces capable of containing the war. Russia could not take over the peacekeeping mission as it caused distrust of both the Triple Alliance and the Entente. She also pursued its interests. Frequent diplomatic and military-political crises on the eve of the war left their stamp on the socio-psychological atmosphere in Europe. During the July 1914 crisis, it became clear that due to the mistake of England, which did not declare its solidarity with France and Russia, who did not want bloodshed, a great war could begin. Russia was already pursuing a policy of concessions to the aggressor, which only aggravated the situation. It ultimately led to a pan-European war.
Designing and Effectiveness of Financial Literacy Institutions
Authors: Bolshunov A. Ya. , Tyurikov A. G.
Published: February 2020

The article discusses the construction of the institution of financial literacy as a social game with a specific socio-conceptual system. We outlined the contours of the institution of financial literacy. The authors substantiated the thesis that the indicator of the effectiveness of such an institution is the coverage and quality (level) of involvement in the game of target groups in the status of players. We introduced a pyramid of levels (quality) of the involvement of target groups. We defend the thesis that institutions have the character of social games. Therefore, we have analysed the institutions as games, introducing the concept of “big games” in which the production and reproduction of elites are carried out. We also discuss the issues of the social construction of institutions as games, outlining the contours of the social game of “financial literacy” and identify the importance of the processes of legitimisation of games/ institutions. The stated theses urge to critically evaluate the implementation of the project named “Promotion of financial literacy of the population and the development of financial education in the Russian Federation”.
Smart Cities as a New Quality of Life Standard
Authors: Pivkina N. Yu.
Published: February 2020

Over the past ten years, the creation of smart cities has become a priority in the development of the digital economy over the world. It is reflected not only in official documents of the leading international organisations including the United Nations (UN), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission but also in scientific research of many foreign scientists. There are several approaches to the definition of the term “smart city”. This article will overcome some theoretical gaps in a holistic research approach to the study of smart cities, especially in terms of the impact of information and telecommunication technologies on improving the quality of life and well-being of urban residents, because creating a comfortable living environment is one of the most essential tasks in the concept of a smart city. The author paid particular attention to the analysis of the literature on the problems of smart cities based on the international databases of scientific citing — Web of Science and Scopus; a resulting publication stream made it possible to assess the effectiveness of research in subject areas related to economics. The most significant number of projects to create smart cities were implemented in European cities. Researchers from the UK made a substantial contribution to the development of international standards. In Russian practice, this topic is just beginning its development, both in legal and regulatory documents and in economic research. An important step in solving this problem should be the implementation of the national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” and the project “Smart City” in the framework of the national project “Housing and Urban Environment” in 2019.
