The White Possessive against and within the Neoliberal University
Authors: Nicoll Fiona
Published: February 2020

Aileen Moreton-Robinson’s book The White Possessive: Property, Power, and Indigenous Sovereignty shows how intimately knowledge production and exchange are linked to the value of property. This article uses her text to identify and challenge the camouflage of possessive white ignorance as virtue in the neoliberal university. I argue that The White Possessive does more than help readers to understand the global revival of white supremacist movements and “alt-right” intellectuals and media channels. It also explains why academic and activist projects organized around such seemingly virtuous objectives as fighting racism and recognizing Indigenous rights can ironically confine people within white racial schemas.

Sustainable Spaces, Sustained Mass Incarceration: Environmental Protection as Racial Violence in the Design of Juvenile Incarceration
Authors: Ananth Akhila L.
Published: February 2020

Though scholars of racial capitalism have separately analyzed mass incarceration and environmental racism as state-sanctioned racial violence, few have put these two seemingly disparate topics of study in direct conversation. Yet tracking “sustainability” in the designs of an environmentally friendly juvenile detention facility reveals that state-subsidized corporate mechanisms of environmental protection are fundamental to racialized mass incarceration in the United States. In the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center in San Leandro, California, building designers constructed a juvenile court, social services center, and jail that all met the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Standard for sustainable construction practices put forth by the US Green Building Council. In this carceral space, however, the ideals of sustainable building design obfuscate the role of racial capitalism in sustaining the punitive regulation of Black and other nonwhite youth through incarceration.
Everyday Political Whiteness and Diversity University
Authors: Ambikaipaker Mohan
Published: February 2020

There is a paradoxical situation in higher education today: the discourse around the concept of “diversity” has become widely institutionalized, but advocates of equality still struggle to operate within a broader and deeper racialized political and everyday cultural context that is hostile to their success. A besieged current climate for the hopes and projects of pluralism, social equality, peace, and justice imbues the higher education concept and discourse of diversity with an enhanced aura of progressive institutional value and perhaps even a residual locus of political hope.

The vast majority of academic workers would not, in the abstract principle, object to the general good of diversity and educational pluralism, even as ideological and political currents may differ. Daily encounters with students and face-to-face relationships, in teaching, mentoring, or advising situations, provide many regular opportunities to engage with the lived experiences of diversity but often within an antagonistic context, where hierarchical institutions routinely place inclusion and equality as subordinate priorities in relation to other values, goals, and projects.

As Sara Ahmed notes, “Diversity work is hard because it can involve doing within institutions what would not otherwise be done by them. . . . The social desire to institutionalize diversity does not mean the institution is opened up; indeed, the wall might become all the more apparent, all the more a sign of immobility, the more the institution presents itself as being opened up.” Diversity in higher education is therefore a moral and polemical concept that points to a tacit awareness and often grudging collective recognition, despite the prevailing political mood, that the university as it is currently configured is a place of injustice and inequality and in need of social change.
Direct-acting Anticoagulants in Chronic Coronary Syndromes
Authors: Sorbets Emmanuel , Steg Philippe Gabriel
Published: February 2020

Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are easier to use, safer than and as effective as vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in the treatment of non-valvular AF (NVAF). Because of their favourable safety profile and easier use than VKAs, DOACs as anti-thrombotic therapy may have a role in the management of chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). To date, few studies have evaluated DOACs in this setting. Initial studies have focused on patients receiving DOACs for NVAF undergoing acute or elective percutaneous coronary intervention who additionally require dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor compared with a VKA regimen was associated with a reduction of bleedings (HR 0.59; 95% CI [0.47–0.76]; p<0.001). Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily plus DAPT up to 12 months followed by rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily plus P2Y12 inhibitor showed similar results. Dabigatran 110 mg twice daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor versus a VKA regimen was associated with a reduction of bleedings (HR 0.52; 95% CI [0.42–0.63]; p<0.001), after a mean follow-up of 14 months. A dabigatran 150 mg regimen showed similar results. Apixaban 5 mg twice daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor versus a VKA regimen confirmed at 6 months the safety of DOACs with a reduction of bleedings (HR 0.69; 95% CI [0.58–0.81]; p<0.001 for non-inferiority and superiority). Edoxaban 60 mg once daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor was non-inferior to a VKA regimen on bleeding outcomes (major bleeding or non-major clinically relevant non-major bleeding) after a 12-month follow-up (HR 0.83; 95% CI [0.65–1.05]; p=0.001 for non-inferiority; p=0.1154 for superiority). Meta-analysis of these four trials confirmed the safety of DOACs regarding bleeding outcomes, but showed a trend toward stent thrombosis for dual antithrombotic therapy using DOACs versus triple antithrombotic therapy using VKAs. DOACs may show promise in the management of high-risk patients with chronic coronary syndromes. In these patients, rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily in addition to aspirin was shown to reduce the composite outcome of cardiovascular death, stroke or MI compared to aspirin alone (HR 0.76; 95% CI [0.66–0.86]; p<0.001). All-cause death, cardiovascular death and stroke were also significantly lower. This benefit was at the cost of an increase in non-fatal bleeding.
Applications for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Disease Modelling and Drug Development for Heart Diseases
Authors: Nakao Shu , Ihara Dai , Hasegawa Koji , Kawamura Teruhisa
Published: February 2020

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from reprogrammed somatic cells by the introduction of defined transcription factors. They are characterised by a capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency. Human (h)iPSCs are expected to be used extensively for disease modelling, drug screening and regenerative medicine. Obtaining cardiac tissue from patients with mutations for genetic studies and functional analyses is a highly invasive procedure. In contrast, disease-specific hiPSCs are derived from the somatic cells of patients with specific genetic mutations responsible for disease phenotypes. These disease-specific hiPSCs are a better tool for studies of the pathophysiology and cellular responses to therapeutic agents. This article focuses on the current understanding, limitations and future direction of disease-specific hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes for further applications.
New Perspectives on Atherogenic Dyslipidaemia and Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Lorenzatti Alberto J , Toth Peter P
Published: February 2020

Over the past few decades, atherogenic dyslipidaemia has become one of the most common phenotypic presentations of lipid abnormalities, being strongly and unequivocally associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Despite the excellent results achieved from statin and non-statin management of LDL cholesterol and CV events prevention, there still remains a significant residual risk, associated with the prevalence of non-LDL cholesterol lipid patterns characterised by elevated triglyceride levels, low HDL cholesterol, a preponderance of small and dense LDL particles, accumulation of remnant lipoproteins and postprandial hyperlipidaemia. These qualitative and quantitative lipid modifications are largely associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and obesity, the prevalence of which has grown to epidemic proportions throughout the world. In this review, we analyse the pathophysiology of this particular dyslipidaemia, its relationship with the development of atherosclerotic CV disease and, finally, briefly describe the therapeutic approaches, including changes in lifestyle and current pharmacological interventions to manage these lipid alterations aimed at preventing CV events.

Origins of the Northern Selkups Based on Anthropological Data
Authors: Poshekhonova Olga , Zubova Alisa , Sleptsova Anastasia
Published: February 2020

The authors examine the origins of the Upper Taz Selkups based on craniology and dental anthropology. They are one of the least studied groups of the indigenous population of Western Siberia. Judging by historical and ethnolinguistic data, the Northern Selkups moved to the Upper Taz region in the 17th – 18th century. Anthropological materials of the Northern Selkups were first obtained only in 2013 and 2016 during the excavations of Kikki-Akki burial ground. Recorded according to archaeological data, the burial rite has direct analogies in Southern Selkups burial grounds of the 17th – 18th centuries, with the exception of the selected individual features of the Eastern Khanty traditions. The craniological sample from Kikki-Akki burial includes 21 skulls – 13 males and 8 females. The dental sample includes the teeth of 22 individuals – 10 male, 6 female and 6 children. During the study the authors examined the anthropological materials based on the method of description of dental and cranial morphology, performed statistical integration. Characteristics of the series were compared with the obtained data of West Siberian near-recent samples. The analysis of the data shows that the Vakh Khanty represent the closest analogy to the series from Kikki-Akki, but the female part of the craniological sampling has a strong resemblance to the groups of the Southern Selkups. The results confirm the available historical and ethnolinguistic data on their formation due to the resettlement of a part of the Southern Selkup group from the Ob River Basin to the north, i.e. to the upper reaches of the Taz River. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the Selkup appearance changed quite a lot in a short period of time (200–300 years) that passed since their migration. The Northern Selkups acquired a significant resemblance to the Vakh Khanty – the only population with which the Selkups could maintain marital relations during their resettlement from the Middle Ob River to the Taz River.
Polish Delegations in Kazakhstan During the Second World War in Documents of the Almaty and Semipalatinsk Archives
Authors: Gubaidullina Mara , Issova Laura , Kulbayeva Almagul
Published: February 2020

Introduction. The article investigates the versatile activities of Polish diplomats on the example of the representative offices of the embassy of Poland (delegations) in Alma-Ata (Almaty) and Semipalatinsk (Semey). Documents in the Kazakhstani archives indicate the presence of nine delegations created during the war in Kazakhstan to facilitate the formation of the Polish army (Anders Army). Polish “delegates” – diplomats, military, civilian employees – helped to rescue the Poles from places of detention and settlements, to draw up their documents for further sending to the army.

Materials. Documents of the “especially valuable” fund of the Semipalatinsk Archive (currently the Documentation Center of Modern History of the East Kazakhstan Region, Semey), which are put into scientific circulation for the first time, testify to the versatile activities of Polish delegations in a large space in the east of the country.

Analysis and Results. Polish delegates organized not only military-political and consular issues, but also economic, social, humanitarian activities. Polish employees worked in contact with Soviet institutions. They provided social support to both the military and displaced, evacuated, orphans, and disabled people. The organization of orphanages and shelters for Polish children was carried out, including by the efforts of Polish diplomats. The Poles who returned after the war to their homeland organized societies of the so-called “sybyraki”. Today they act as a kind of bridge in relations between Kazakhstan and Poland.
Civil War in the North Caucasus in the Reflection of the Mountainous Bourgeoise-Democratic Print (On the Materials of “Volnyy Gorets” Newspaper)
Authors: Matiev Timur
Published: February 2020

Introduction. The article attempts to analyze the attitude of the Mountainous government in exile and the Union of Mountaineers of the North Caucasus and Dagestan in a broader sense to the events of the Civil War in the North Caucasus in 1919–1920 based on local printing.

Methods and materials. The main emphasis is placed on the analysis of materials of “Volny Gorets” newspaper of the Mountainous government. The authors use the problemchronological, historical-systemic method and the system-functional analysis method.

Analysis. The article analyzes the attitude of the mountainous democrats, expressed on the pages of the newspaper, to such aspects of the Civil War as the union of mountain peoples with the Bolsheviks, the assessment of the white and red plans for the mountain regions, the real policy of the warring parties in 1917–1920, the prospects for a confederative structure of the Caucasus. The split of mountain unity by the Bolsheviks is considered by their prosecutors the main reason why the North Caucasus was not able to resist the Denikin invasion.

Results. “Volny Gorets” publication is an important and extremely informative source on the events in the North Caucasus during the Civil War of 1919–1920. The newspaper’s publications are both purely informational and analytical. The analysis given by the newspaper’s authors is deep and sober. The events of the civil war in the North Caucasus attracted the closest attention of the editors and, on the whole, remained the priority topic of publications in each issue of “Volny Gorets” during 1919–1920. The analysis of the publication is relatively free from ideological press and bias that distinguishes both purely “white” and “red” publications of that time.
LAND AND PROPERTY RIGHTS WITHIN THE URBANISM LAW
Authors: Alexandru Dana Georgeta
Published: February 2020

The study intends to highlight the functions of property rights in relation to the characteristics of urbanism law. The analyse aims to identify the role of public authorities in the production process of planning public policies, under current regulations in force in Romania. Moreover, while the legislation led to confer a social function of property rights, this conception of property rights comes up against the revival of private property, which is likely to complicate the implementation of public planning policies. The social function of the property law, however, could reach its limits in the coming years. Indeed, the jurisprudence appears to give a boost to the individualistic dimension of ownership complicating the achievement of public planning policies.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A “RESCUE CULTURE”. INSOLVENCY GLOBALIZATION
Authors: DIDEA Ionel , ILIE Diana Maria
Published: February 2020

We are heading towards a phenomenon of internationalization and globalization of the substantiation of law, due to the fact that Romania is, inevitably, part of the process of integration and reflection of its own identity in a European and global context. Ultimately, law derives from observing the society and analysing its needs, passing through the filter of equity the final legal form in order to ensure the completeness of law, and also the structural coherence of society. Although the continental European legal culture is attached to the “general will”, globalization managed to erase many of the symbolical boundaries between the legal culture promoted by the Common-law, the one promoted by our system deeply markedby the Romano-Germanic System, and also the legal system outlined by American Realist trends, thus allowing the law to become the result of the self-adaptation of the society, not just the creation of the State.

An essential aspect of the political relations is represented by the relationbetween power and opposition, the power being in the meaning of this relationship thelegitimate capacity to impose its own will or to exert the authority, which reveals a relationof domination. The two socio-political entities, government and opposition, acts by its specificmeans and in a democratic system these ease the confrontation of ideas, solutions, opencompetition between political forces generating the alternation in power, as a result of theelectorate's will and political orientation.Generally, the power is assimilated to the force or capacity of constraint, whichsuggests that, from a certain perspective, the imposition of the political will.In the socio-political area, J.J. Rousseau in his "Social Contract" stated that the mostpowerful is not strong enough to always be the "master", if he does not transform the forceinto law and subjection into duty, so that the normative power shall emerge from a socialmorality stated by the law. As the pair term of the "power", the opposition is the ensemble ofthe political groups, parties or alliances, which, taken separately or as an ensemble, areopposing the political regime in force or the actual government's policy.
HUMAN SECURITY AND THE “RIGHTFUL STATE”
Authors: Leucea Crăciun
Published: February 2020

The article is based on the idea that human security concept should be understood as anopen one, accepted in its broad definition and definitely not in its narrow terms because thevariety and multilevel forms of threats to human security can manifest in manners hard toanticipate. The main challenge in promoting human security concept internationally lies in itspower to deconstruct the principle of state sovereignty which is the key-stone of thecontemporary international system and of international law and that’s the reluctance toaccepting it. But if there weren’t bad states, the human security concept wouldn’t have emerged.The point we intend to advance is that defining human security restrictively might implylegitimating sovereignty for “bad” countries in which corruption is endemic and where groupsof people who achieved power by “negative selection mechanisms” perpetrates humaninsecurity rather than security.

WHAT DO GREEKS BELIEVE ABOUT ELDERS AND MENTAL CAPACITY?
Authors: Giannouli Vaitsa
Published: February 2020

Despite the plethora of studies abroad, in Greece views on individuals with intellectual disabilities and older persons with mental health problems is not a well investigated topic. The results of the present study reveal that generally acts with financial-legal implications (mainly financial decision-making capacity) are of concern to the participants, as they consider this sort of capacity the main predictor for legal (in)capacity on the whole, especially when they consider elderly patients. Participants have doubts about the appropriateness of the current assessment methods followed by forensic psychiatrists and psychologists in Greece and hope for future improvements in the field of legal capacity assessment. In addition to that participants seem to welcome any form of provided information (live lectures from conferences, videos, interviews, discussion forums and texts) from experts with an emphasis on issues for elders. No significant differences were found in the expressed views based on gender or age, but subtle differences were found according to educational level.

ASPECTS OF PRIVATE LAW WHICH ARE NOT ENFORCED BY THE REGULATION (EU) No. 650/2012
Authors: Nicolae Ioana
Published: February 2020

A novelty element which concerns even Romanian citizens is the enforcement of Regulation (EU) no 650/2012. Although the area of enforcement of the regulation should include all aspect of civil law regarding a deceased person’s patrimony, certain aspects were deliberately left out from the enforcement area of this regulation, as the questions governed by the law of companies or relating to matrimonial property regimes. To illustrate the effects of the death of an associate in a company, we will provide a short comparative presentation of the continuance of the collective society with the heirs of the deceased partner as regulated by Law no 31/1990 regarding Romanian companies as opposed to the French Civil Code. Also, our brief analysis of the Proposal for a Council regulation on jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matters of matrimonial property regimes, may shed some light on what is to come in matrimonial property regimes.

Territorios en disputa. Los pescadores, la ribera, el urbanismo y el acuario del Paraná (Rosario, Argentina)
Authors: Roldán Diego , Arelovich Lisandro
Published: February 2020

El artículo analiza las disputas territoriales alrededor de la costa entre los pescadores, el urbanismo y el nuevo Acuario del Paraná, en Rosario, Argentina. Asimismo, aborda los procesos de inclusión de los pescadores artesanales en el espacio público, el dispositivo científico, pedagógico y recreativo del Acuario del Paraná. Este proyecto contemplaba la construcción de un Puerto de Pescadores para la integración del territorio pesquero al espacio ribereño del Parque del Acuario. Luego de repasar las intervenciones de la planificación urbana en el proceso de reordenamiento de la franja costera, considerando con particular interés el proceso de desterritorialización de los pescadores, el análisis se enfoca sobre las diferencias, los desacuerdos y las disputas generados alrededor de esas construcciones. El caso bajo estudio es el de uno de los pocos acuarios de agua dulce en la Argentina, cuyo proyecto se propone la integración tanto del trabajo como de los saberes de los pescadores artesanales de la zona. La metodología utilizada ha sido fundamentalmente cualitativa y guiada por una exploración etnográfica, que incluyó observación participante y entrevistas a distintos agentes y grupos involucrados.

Published: February 2020

Este artículo recoge los hallazgos más importantes que evidencian la configuración de subjetividadespolíticas, de jóvenes de Medellín y el Área Metropolitana, y su articulación con la interculturalidadcrítica. Toma como base una investigación cuyo objetivo fue indagar sobre las miradas que los jóvenespertenecientes a dos entidades de Medellín en Colombia con apuestas sociales desde las artes escénicas yla apropiación del conocimiento, han construido sobre sí mismos y sus relaciones con otros. El estudio seplanteó metodológicamente desde las narrativas autobiográficas como forma de acercarse a los jóvenes ysus historias. Entre los resultados principales se plantean aspectos relacionados con las formas cómo seasumen y proyectan en la acción colectiva y cómo emergen allí oportunidades para reconocer y superarlas problemáticas de desigualdad que atraviesan sus vidas. Las más importantes conclusiones están entorno a cómo se articulan la subjetividad política y sus tramas con la interculturalidad crítica desde losescenarios juveniles en contextos urbanos como los de ciudades como Medellín.
Cosmología, transformación y territorialidad en la percepción de los kichwa-lorocachi del Rio Curaray.

Published: February 2020

Este artículo es resultado de un estudio más amplio que indaga elementos del sistema cosmológicokichwa. La temática ha sido explorada desde la década de los 80 a partir del llamado giro ontológicoperspectivista que conjuga modelos teóricos resultado de diferentes trabajos etnográficos con un interéscomún por plantear alternativas al tradicional dualismo entre naturaleza/cultura. A partir de una metodología etnográfica basada principalmente en las percepciones de la gente local, el artículo tiene comoobjetivo evidenciar descriptivamente cómo ciertos marcadores culturales: chamanismo y construccióndel cuerpo, mítica local y percepción territorial son retractados. De los datos recolectados se concluyeque dicha retracción obedece a lo atractiva que se muestra la modernidad y sus tecnologías principalmentehacia las nuevas generaciones. Por otro lado, tenemos la pausa en el traspaso generacional deconocimientos tradicionales. Esto inserto en una particular dinámica socio económica en un territoriosituado al margen de los polos urbanos de desarrollo moderno.

Long non-coding RNAs are considered to be critical regulators of tumor progression. Tumor protein translationally controlled 1 antisense RNA 1 (TPT1-AS1) was shown to have an oncogenic role in cervical and ovarian cancer. The clinical significance and biological function of TPT1-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC) are not clear. In this study, we analyzed the expression of TPT1-AS1 in GC tissues and cell lines and performed functional and mechanistic analysis of TPT1-AS1 effects on GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. TPT1-AS1 expression was determined in 76 pairs of GC tissues vs. matched adjacent normal tissues and in four GC cell lines (SGC-7901, AGS, BGC-823, and MGC-803) vs. GES-1 cell line by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells were transfected with small interfering RNA or scrambled negative control, and cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion and cell cycle assays were performed. The expression of proteins involved in cell cycle progression and epithelial–mesenchymal transition was analyzed by Western blot. TPT1-AS1 expression was significantly higher in GC tissues and cell lines compared to controls. The overexpression of TPT1-AS1 was significantly correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis, and it was associated with worse prognosis of GC patients according to the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The knockdown of TPT1-AS1 significantly inhibited proliferation, cell cycle G1/S transition, migration, and invasion of SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. Moreover, TPT1-AS1 knockdown downregulated the expression of CDK4, cyclin D1, and vimentin and upregulated the expression of p21 and E-cadherin. Our findings suggest that TPT1-AS1 may be a promising therapeutic target in GC.
EUROPEANIZATION OF UKRAINE’S EXECUTIVE POWER (Lessons of the Central and Eastern Europe’s EU Member States)

Published: February 2020

The article addresses main OECD SIGMA recommendations regarding national European Union (EU) policy co-ordination in Ukraine and provides relevant lessons from Latvia and other EU Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Member States in addressing similar challenges from the EU pre-accession and post-accession experience. Efficiency of a national policy co-ordination is one of the core determinants to succeed europeanization of a national core executive power and further integration with the EU. The OECD SIGMA Baseline Measurement Assessment Report on Principles of Public Administration in Ukraine published in June 2018 reveals important concerns in steering and co-ordination of some reform initiatives, overlapping competences of public bodies in co-ordinating policy planning and implementation monitoring of the Government’s performance in public sector reforms. Effective implementation of national reforms is vital also in the terms of implementation of the Ukraine–EU Association Agreement (AA) that entered into force on September 1, 2017 and Actual problems of international relations. Release 140. 2019 16 requires a high level of coordination in the Ukrainian government. Relevant national EU policy co-ordination experience of the EU CEE Member States is revisited as a possible lesson for Ukraine in implementation of essential structural reforms on the national level. Key words: europeanization, Association Agreement, principles of public administration, national policy co-ordination, policy planning

Abstract: Developing Learning Materials Based on Training Within Industry (TWI) to Improve the Building Construction Student’s Learning Outcomes.This second study aims to test significances differences between (1) using teaching materials with TWI method and the conventional method; (2) the high achievement motivation students and the low achievement motivation students; and (3) learning structures (TWI method and conventional method) and the high achievement motivation and the low achievement motivation toward the students’ learning outcomes. This study is an experimental research for students who take the Bricklaying and Concrete Practice lesson in an academic year. The hypothesis test uses two-way variance analysis (ANAVA) to find out the differences in the mean between cells (A and B). The results showed that there were significant differences in the students’ learning outcome be­tween (1) the TWI teaching materials and conventional method; (2) the students who have the high achievement motivation and the students who have the low achievement motivation. Furthermore, there were significant interactions between factor of giving the vocational work practices and motivation to­ward the students’ learning outcomes.
On the Dependence of the Relativistic Angular Momentum of a Uniform Ball on the Radius and Angular Velocity of Rotation
Authors: Fedosin Sergey G.
Published: February 2020

In the framework of the special theory of relativity, elementary formulas are used to derive the formula for determining the relativistic angular momentum of a rotating ideal uniform ball. The moment of inertia of such a ball turns out to be a nonlinear function of the angular velocity of rotation. Application of this formula to the neutron star PSR J1614-2230 shows that due to relativistic corrections the angular momentum of the star increases tenfold as compared to the nonrelativistic formula. For the proton and neutron star PSR J1748-2446ad the velocities of their surface’s motion are calculated, which reach the values of the order of 30% and 19% of the speed of light, respectively. Using the formula for the relativistic angular momentum of a uniform ball, it is easy to obtain the formula for the angular momentum of a thin spherical shell depending on its thickness, radius, mass density, and angular velocity of rotation. As a result, considering a spherical body consisting of a set of such shells it becomes possible to accurately determine its angular momentum as the sum of the angular momenta of all the body’s shells. Two expressions are provided for the maximum possible angular momentum of the ball based on the rotation of the ball’s surface at the speed of light and based on the condition of integrity of the gravitationally bound body at the balance of the gravitational and centripetal forces. Comparison with the results of the general theory of relativity shows the difference in angular momentum of the order of 25% for an extremal Kerr black hole.
