Reflection of the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in the substantive and procedural law of Russia
Authors: Matveeva Evgenia
Published: May 2020

The article considers the expression and place of the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in the legal system of Russia. It is concluded that the principle under consideration is general legal and has a universally recognized character. The author notes that the implementation of this principle in practice is difficult. This is due to the ambiguity of the content of the concept of abuse of law. The legal doctrine contains conflicting views on this problem both in the material and in the procedural aspect. To remove the revealed contradictions, the author selects the approach proposed by V.A. Tolstik, V.V. Kumaneev. Consideration of various aspects of the abuse of law through the prism of this approach, according to the author, will allow combining scientific efforts in order to develop an effective mechanism to counter various negative manifestations of abuse of law.

Some features of the fight against tax evasion
Authors: Shevko Nailya , Hadiullina Gulnara
Published: May 2020

Unfortunately, tax evasion still exists today. As a result, there is insufficient funding for the public sector of the economy due to a reduction in revenue to the state budget. At the same time, there is a violation of the rules of fair competition. In order to ensure that the fight against tax and tax evasion is as effective as possible, it is important to determine the causes and methods of avoiding taxation, examine the current tax policy, and identify incentive leverage of taxes to replenish the revenue side of the budget. In the course of writing the work, empirical and theoretical research methods were applied, and legitimate ways to derive income from the shadows were identified.

Authors: Shustov E. B. , Kim A. E. , Ivanov M. B
Published: May 2020

The aim of the article is to generalize information on possible molecular targets that ensure the implementation of the immunotoxic effects of drugs for the subsequent improvement of the methodological apparatus of immunotoxicological studies of new drugs and assess the prospects of the development of new directions of immunopharmacology. The results of the information search for official data provided by manufacturers of medicines registered in the Russian Federation (guidelines for use, clinical recommendations, reports on biomedical and clinical research), as well as data from pharmacological monitoring of the safety of their use conducted by Roszdravnadzor of the Russian Federation are summarized.

Guidelines for the use of 524 current international non-patent medicines, covering a total of more than 5000 generics in various forms, releases and dosages, were analyzed. The object of the search was data on undesirable side effects of medicines related to the human immune system.

The analysis showed that the immunotoxic effect is described for 40,6% of 524 active pharmacological agents. Clinical and pathogenetic characteristics allowed us to identify several cluster groups that can be characterized as immunotoxic syndromes: allergic, immunosuppressive, lymphotropic, generalized cytokine reaction, reactivation of the immune response, and immune activation of oncogenesis. Molecular targets of immunotoxic action were determined based on the known mechanisms of action of the analyzed drugs.

Authors: Ivnitsky Yu. Yu. , Krasnov K. A. , Rejniuk V. L. , Lapina N. V. , Melikhova M. V. , Golovko A. I. , Krasnova A. A.
Published: May 2020

The purpose of the review is to analyze the possibilities of using of pectin enterosorbents for the prevention of acute poisoning. Low-esterified pectins exhibit high sorbing activity against multicharged cations, are highly adhesive to the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and are able to reduce non-specifically the permeability of the enterohematic barrier. The expected duration of the preventive effect of pectin enterosorbents is 4-5 hours after their administration. In combination with good tolerability and ease of use, this indicates the prospects of low-esterified pectins as means of drug prevention of acute poisoning in case of increased risk of oral or inhalation intake of heavy metals, nuclear fission materials and nuclear fission products.

Authors: Ivnitsky Yu. Yu. , Krasnov K. A. , Ivanov M. B. , Rejniuk V. L. , Golovko A. I.
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this review is to substantiate approaches for improving first aid in acute poisoning. Early administration of medical agents to the victims is advisable, but in injectable dosage form is problematic. An alternative is a nasal spray – dosage form that is suitable for systemic administration of pharmaceutical substances with small molecular weight (up to 1000 Da) and moderate hydrophilicity (log Poctanol/water ≥ 0), and a single dose of which can be contained in volume of up to 0, 3 ml. These criteria are met by the number of pharmaceutical substances used for the treatment of acute poisoning with substances that can form foci of mass destruction. This defines the perspective of nasal sprays as a medical device that allows to speed up, simplify and make it safer to use drugs when providing first aid in the centers of mass chemical destruction.

Authors: Edughom Ekpar Frank , Hase Hiroyuki , Yoneda Masaaki
Published: May 2020

This paper presents a system for real-time visualization of very large image data sets using ondemand loading and dynamic view prediction. We use a robust image representation scheme for efficient adaptive rendering and introduce a fast perspective view generation module to extend the applicability of the system to panoramic images. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the system by applying it both to imagery that does not require perspective correction and to very large panoramic data sets requiring perspective view generation. Furthermore, we extend and generalize the system to enable a wide range of applications. In a broad set of applications, the system permits smooth, real-time interactive navigation of very large panoramic and non-panoramic image data sets on average personal computers without the use of specialized hardware.

Properties of the Labor Market Regulation System
Authors: Kovach Valeriia
Published: May 2020

It is noted that basic processes that characterize system of labor markets are based on the principles of social development. They make possible economic and industrial activity of individuals. Features of managerial decision-making processes are considered. It is determined that the labor market system is a multilevel set of subsystems: the whole labor market of the state, the regional labor market, and the labor markets of organizations. It is proposed to present the labor market system in the form of three main elements determined by the following parameters: entry into the labor market system; process of interaction of the microsphere of the labor market with external environment takes place within the framework of regional labor market; exit from the labor market is represented by the whole labor market. It is noted that system approach allows representing of the labor market system as a structural and hierarchical formation with its structure and functions. Priority of motivational processes is determined. These processes are present both in interpersonal processes and in managerial ones. The scheme of interaction and interdependence of processes in the labor market system is developed. It is noted that each subsystem in the labor market has its own functional purpose. It is determined that the most important characteristic of the labor market as a whole system is its structure. The structure is a set of elements and connections that determine internal structure and organization of the labor market as a whole system. It is noted that the labor market has a peculiar property of infinity. The concept of “element of the labor market” is defined. It is concluded that the labor market management system includes: management goals, management methods, organizational security, information and legal support.
State Policy to Promote Civil Society Development in Ukraine
Authors: Demianenko Oleksandra
Published: May 2020

The article examines the process of forming the state policy of promoting civil society development in Ukraine, as well as its current directions. It is argued that in most developed democracies, there is a state policy to promote civil society. This is due to the realization that the activities of civil society institutions contribute to the reduction of paternalistic expectations of citizens, to the provision of socio-political stability, as well as to the formation of a high level of political culture. The state of civil society in Ukraine and the legal framework for the implementation of the state policy of promoting the development of civil society are analyzed. Today, the legal framework of the state policy of promoting civil society development is constituted by the Constitution of Ukraine, laws of Ukraine, decrees of the President of Ukraine, resolutions and orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, etc. The priority directions of the strategy of the state policy of promoting the development of civil society in Ukraine for the next period are offered in accordance with the current conditions and current challenges. The results of individual sociological surveys have been analyzed in the context of various aspects of the implementation of the state policy of promoting civil society development in Ukraine, problems and challenges have been identified. The strategy of the state policy for promoting the development of civil society in Ukraine for the next period (from 2021) should include: formation of an effective model of interaction between the state and civil society in Ukraine at three levels — national, regional, local; developing tools for involving citizens at decision-making at all levels; development of civic education in Ukraine; providing state financial support to civil society institutions; development of e-government; ensuring the effective response of law enforcement agencies to violations of the law on interaction with civil society by state bodies; continuation of work on implementation of measures aimed at implementation of international agreements.

Authors: Poprotskyy Oleksandr
Published: May 2020

The article deals with the important issues of modern science of public administration regarding the use of motivation by the authorities in the process of administrative decision-making. In particular, their main types are investigated, as well as the concept of the specific gravity of motivation and its essence are substantiated. The types of motivation are highlighted, each of which has its specific weight or importance for the motivated participants involved in the strategy implementation process. The factors of change of the share of motivations with application of the coefficient determined by experts of the group of strategic planning and implementation of the strategy are described.
It has been determined that the transformation of motivations can contribute to the formation of certain demand for available values and services, and may create the preconditions for the emergence and provision of new ones.
Formation of motivation plan as a tool of motivational support of strategic management is developed and substantiated. The concept of a motivational plan is defined as a plan of quantitative and qualitative expansion of motivations of supporters of a strategic initiative of an organization, state authority or local self-government.
The main task for the heads of organizations is determined, which is to increase the motivation of the participants of the strategy implementation process by all possible measures, taking into account the rights of the person to full pay. It is found that each participant of the strategy implementation process may have not one but several types of motivations, each of which has its specific weight, that is, the importance for the motivated participant. With regard to the expansion of motivation, the requirements for working with the participants involved in the strategy implementation process are stated, as well as the main purpose of such work in terms of increasing the share of motivations.

Authors: Taraban Svitlana
Published: May 2020

The features of state regulation of innovation in Ukraine at the present stage are investigated. The directions of innovation policy in Ukraine are analyzed, the features of investment and innovation in the Kharkov region are highlighted. The role of entrepreneurship in introducing innovations is clarified. The state of innovation in Ukraine is analyzed by international indices: Global Innovation Index, Bloomberg Innovation Index, Global Competitiveness Index. It is emphasized that in the current environment technological development should provide a set of measures, including targeted support for priority areas of innovation, creating a favorable economic climate, stimulating interest in the implementation of scientific and technological achievements, and the inflow of investment into fixed capital through a powerful legislative base. It is noted that in the modern economy, a noticeable and relatively quick success in the technological as well as socio-economic development of the regions can only be achieved by ensuring high market competitiveness of the manufacturing sector of the regional economy based on its innovative, structural and technological restructuring. Attention is focused on the fact that the process of innovative development in Ukraine is increasingly characterized by the increasing role of the regional component, and regional innovation policy is becoming an important factor in the economic and social development of the country. It is proved that the innovation activity carried out in any society and leading to the creation of an innovative product that represents the latest achievements in the field of technology, technology, organization and management cannot occur in the economy without attracting investments in the production potential of societies. Structural adjustment processes taking place in Ukraine should not bypass the scientific and industrial potential of the regions. That is why the strategy of innovative development of the national economy should include the development of each individual region. Each region should have its own priority development areas in accordance with its own scientific and industrial base, based on the potential of the region’s production capabilities, focusing on available resources and market needs.

The article states that overload landfills have become a big environmental threat to the environment and public life, the extent of which is steadily increasing provided, that the principle of «extended producer responsibility» in Ukraine do not work. It is stressed that the administrative-territorial reform and the whole burden of the management of municipal waste are vested in the local authorities. The necessity of intensifying the dialogue of local authorities and the public on the treatment of municipal waste is stressed. It is established that a long time communicative interaction between public authorities and the public on these issues be limited solely to inquiries and complaints. Accentuated that at present the public needs a better communication vehicle for engagement with local authorities, which would reverse the information when provided to a positive communicative effect and contributed to the transformation of information into a decision, and decisions on action. It is proved that the solution of this issue possible in the development of the communicative strategy of interaction of local governments and the public, able to ensure sustainable development of territories thanks to improve the condition of landfills and dumps, the organization of separate waste collection and recycling. The proposed etiology develop a communication strategy of interaction of local governments and the public in addressing issues of treatment of municipal waste, taking into account its compatibility with other concepts, strategies and development plans of the territories. In detail each of the stages of development of the communication strategy of interaction of local governments and the public. It is proved that the introduction in practice of the proposed topolog develop a communication strategy of interaction of local governments and the public in addressing issues of treatment of municipal waste will simplify the development process and provide clarity to determine the most appropriate channels of communication with each of the priority stakeholder groups interested in the growth of the percentage of coverage, the provision of municipal solid waste management, improvement of landfills and dumps, which have become a threat to the environment and public life.
From experiment results to a constraint hierarchy with the ‘Rank Centrality’ algorithm
Authors: Smith Jennifer L.
Published: May 2020

Rank Centrality (RC; Negahban, Oh, & Shah 2017) is a rank-aggregation algorithm that computes a total ranking of elements from noisy pairwise ranking information. I test RC as an alternative to incremental error-driven learning algorithms such as GLA-MaxEnt (Boersma & Hayes 2001; Jäger 2007) for modeling a constraint hierarchy on the basis of two-alternative forced-choice experiment results. For the case study examined here, RC agrees well with GLA-MaxEnt on the ordering of the constraints, but differs somewhat on the distance between constraints; in particular, RC assigns more extreme (low) positions to constraints at the bottom of the hierarchy than GLA-MaxEnt does. Overall, these initial results are promising, and RC merits further investigation as a constraint-ranking method in experimental linguistics.

Administrative Tribunals in Bangladesh
Authors: Sirazi Hossain Mohammad Younus , Aziz Mohammad Irfan
Published: May 2020

Administrative Tribunal in Bangladesh is a specialized adjudicating body established in order to ensure prompt, effective, inexpensive, flexible, and expert adjudication as well as expeditious disposal of service disputes of civil servants by ousting the jurisdiction of ordinary courts on such matter. However, this paper tries to explore that the adjudicating mechanism of such Tribunals are affected by intricate legislation, non-compliance to the Constitutional mandate, deviation from equality principles, unavailability of a dynamic procedure as to the recruitment of personnel of expertise, non-existence of any established system of appointing panel advocate, a variety of the jurisdictional lacking and faults as well as functional and procedural defects. To explore challenges related to the Administrative Tribunals in Bangladesh, this paper attempts to examine whether the legal provisions of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1980 and Rules framed thereunder are adequate for the proper and expeditious disposal of the service litigants' grievances through the critical analysis of these provisions compared to, especially, that of India and Pakistan as well as the empirical scrutiny of the practical scenario of such Tribunals in Bangladesh. This paper, in fine, concludes with the necessity for serious modifications of those legal provisions and tackling those challenges, and therefore puts forward the ways out.
Discriminating Accretion States via Rotational Symmetry in Simulated Polarimetric Images of M87
Authors: Palumbo Daniel C. M. , Wong George N. , Prather Ben S.
Published: May 2020

In 2017 April, the Event Horizon Telescope observed the shadow of the supermassive black hole at the core of the elliptical galaxy Messier 87. While the original image was constructed from measurements of the total intensity, full polarimetric data were also collected, and linear polarimetric images are expected in the near future. We propose a modal image decomposition of the linear polarization field into basis functions with varying azimuthal dependence of the electric vector position angle. We apply this decomposition to images of ray traced general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the Messier 87 accretion disk. For simulated images that are physically consistent with previous observations, the magnitude of the coefficient associated with rotational symmetry, β
2, is a useful discriminator between accretion states. We find that at 20 μas resolution,

is greater than 0.2 only for models of disks with horizon-scale magnetic pressures large enough to disrupt steady accretion. We also find that images with a more radially directed electric vector position angle correspond to models with higher black hole spin. Our analysis demonstrates the utility of the proposed decomposition as a diagnostic framework to improve constraints on theoretical models.
The Outburst of Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann on 2020 February 4th
Authors: Donaldson Abbie , Scholz Aleks
Published: May 2020

We observed the 2020 February 4th outburst of the Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, using the James Gregory Telescope in St Andrews/UK. The brightness of the comet increased by ∼3 mag in VRI within 1–2 days, followed by a more gradual incline. This was one of the largest documented outbursts of this object over the past few years, but is consistent with previously observed events.

Research in humans suggests whole-body vibration (WBV) aids in maintaining bone mineral content (BMC) yet results in the horse are less favourable. Anecdotally, WBV is reported to reduce pain and improve performance. This study was designed to test the effect of WBV on exercising horses, hypothesising that WBV would lower heart rate (HR) during treatment, increase BMC, modify markers of bone metabolism, and increase stride length. Eleven horses were randomly assigned into control (CON, n=5) or WBV (VIB, n=6) groups for a 28-day treatment period. Both groups exercised for 1 h, 6 d/wk on a mechanical exerciser. VIB horses received 50 Hz WBV for 45 min, 5 days/wk. Third metacarpal radiographs were taken at 0 and 28 days, and BMC determined via radiographic bone aluminium equivalence (RBAE). Blood samples taken at day 0 and 28 were analysed for serum pyridinoline cross-links (PYD) and osteocalcin (OC). Heart rate was analysed on day 23 for 4 horses per group. Stride length was determined while trotting in hand on day 0 and 28. No influence of WBV on RBAE of any bone cortices, PYD or OC was observed (P>0.10); stride length was also unaffected (P=0.88). A period effect was observed for a decrease in RBAE of the lateral cortex (P=0.01), and a trend towards a decrease was noted in total density (P=0.05), likely an effect of stalling. Compared to baseline, ΔHR declined during treatment (P=0.06) in VIB (-4.8±2.8 bpm) compared to control CON (3.0±2.8 bpm). The results suggest, in normal exercising horses, WBV does not increase BMC, influence markers of bone metabolism, or increase stride length.
A qualitative study on industry 4.0 competitiveness in Turkey using Porter diamond model
Authors: Erboz Gizem
Published: May 2020

Purpose: Industry 4.0 offers a new network approach by using advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and for manufacturing industries in particular. This paper analyzes the understandings of heavy manufacturing industry in Turkey about the concept of Industry 4.0 as well as its significance of in nation’s competitiveness. The study applies in Porter’s Diamond Model as a framework in order to provide a dynamic view of Industry 4.0 in nation’s competitive advantage.Design/methodology/approach: The results of semi structured interviews are examined in the framework and common understandings are compared with existing literature.Findings: The analysis indicates that, the heavy manufacturing companies are aware of the topic of Industry 4.0 in general in terms of its definition, future aspects and possible benefits and challenges. It has been observed that factor conditions (labor and capital) are the most important aspects which affect development of Industry 4.0 competitiveness in Turkey. Although the country is still in initial stage on its competitive position; the effects of the government and some chances might increase its competitiveness in the future.Originality/value: Regarding different research on Industry 4.0, this paper gives an insight in development path of Industry 4.0 competitiveness especially for the developing countries. There is still lack of empirical research on nations’ competitiveness on Industry 4.0; therefore, this paper deepens the concept for further research and action plans for the path of competitiveness.
Antropología del turismo: ¿para qué? ¿y para quién? Crítica de la razón turística
Authors: Pereiro Xerardo
Published: May 2020

Con base en la diversidad de enfoques antropológicos (normativos, subjetivos, mixtos…) del turismo, analizamos el papel de la etnografía en cuanto herramienta metodológica y técnica de la antropología del turismo, y también en cuanto modo epistemológico de pensar, interpretar e intervenir en turismo. En nuestro texto presentamos los modos de usar las etnografías y algunas de sus (in)utilidades en nuestras sociedades en movimiento. Unas sociedades en las cuales el turismo ha pasado a ser una parte indispensable de las identidades sociales y culturales de muchas gentes en el mundo global. En este sentido, investigar tu­rismo es estudiar personas, gentes, culturas, lugares y movilidades, para lo cual las etnografías del turismo están especialmente preparadas y llamadas, no solamente para interpretar y comprender sus problemas, como también para intervenir y gestionar mejor el turismo, por medio de estrategias de etnomarketing y planeamiento antropológico del turismo.
El turismo como contexto
Authors: Nogués Pedregal Antonio Miguel
Published: May 2020

Además de como agente exógeno que afecta a procesos sociales, se propone abordar el estudio socio-antropológico del turismo como el contexto en el que ocurren las prácticas sociales y a través del que esas mismas prácticas adquieren sentido, especialmente, en aquellos territorios en los que las prácticas turísticas forman parte de lo cotidiano. Para comprender ambas situaciones se plantea una definición operativa del turismo –en tanto que objeto de estudio socio-antropológico– como conjunto de prácticas y dispositivos socio-tecnológicos que administra ideológicamente una componenda entre lo deseable y lo posible para facilitar el viaje turístico. Esta propuesta se plasma en un diagrama que, desde la tríada deseo-consumo-territorio, contempla al-gunas de las dinámicas que suceden en contextos turísticos.
Vidas en los bordes: una etnografía de la condición fronteriza
Authors: Aedo Ángel
Published: May 2020

Este artículo aborda el problema del arraigamiento en las fronteras estatales y en los bordes sociales a partir de viven-cias de personas migrantes que habitan en campamentos no autorizados en la frontera norte de Chile. A través del análisis etno-gráfico, analizo cómo la experiencia de vivir a través de múltiples fronteras, en lugar de forzar a migrantes sin hogar a habitar en una suerte de exterioridad radical, los sitúa en precarias brechas de intersticios sociales. Exploro cómo las prácticas que tienen lugar en tales zonas de relegación desafían nuestra visión de sus habitantes como «vida nuda» o «desechos humanos» (en térmi-nos de Agamben y Bauman respectivamente) o meramente como sujetos de biopoder. Lo que vemos en cambio es una forma de política de la presencia, que es vital y contingente, la cual muestra no solo la determinación de las personas a aguantar (en el sentido de Povinelli), sino también a ir más allá para hacer reivindicaciones al Estado.
Cuando los militares salen a la calle. Una aproximación etnográfica a las Fuerzas Armadas españolas a través de su desfile en la Fiesta Nacional de España
Authors: Monsalve Egaña Sebastián
Published: May 2020

Todos los años, con ocasión de la Fiesta Nacional de España, las Fuerzas Armadas realizan en Madrid un gran desfile. La observación etnográfica de esta ceremonia en la que miles de soldados marchan con sus armas ante el rey, las autoridades del go­bierno y un numeroso público constituye una escenificación con la que los militares expresan su actual identidad tras un proceso de reformas que los ha transformado, pasando de ser un pilar central del régimen franquista a adaptarse al orden democrático. Este análisis del desfile se enmarca en la búsqueda de nuevas vías de investigación etnográfica de los militares, para lo cual es necesario desarrollar nuevos espacios de observación. Este artículo postula que el desfile militar de la Fiesta Nacional de España constituye uno de estos espacios que pueden ser transformados en lugar de campo desde donde investigar el mundo militar español.
Exotismo y educación colonial. El guineano como curiosidad en las ferias muestrario de Valencia, 1942-1948
Authors: López Sanz Hasan G.
Published: May 2020

El propósito de este artículo es analizar la presencia de Guinea en las ferias muestrario que se celebraron en Valencia durante la década de 1940. En ellas, de acuerdo con la doctrina de la Hispanidad, la colonia se delimitó como un territorio a civi­lizar –cristianizar y españolizar–, siendo de vital importancia en el discurso público la retórica nacionalcatolicista que entreveraba negocio y misión. Para ello, los organizadores optaron por la estrategia de poner en escena los recursos naturales de la colonia y a sus habitantes, especialmente a los fang de la Guinea continental. El interés del caso valenciano es doble. Por un lado, nos permite entender las dinámicas puestas en marcha por el gobierno franquista para despertar el interés de los españoles por los asuntos coloniales en los años inmediatamente posteriores al final de la Guerra Civil española y en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por otro, es una pieza más de un rompecabezas que parecía haberse terminado en España con las exhibiciones etnológicas de los guineanos en la Exposición Iberoamericana de Sevilla de 1929.
