The assessment of the Bostanliq district (Uzbekistan Republic) based on the wind energy potential
Authors: Yalbacheva Maria
Published: November 2021

The idea of achieving energy security and lowering the dependence on the global hydrocarbon market is at the top of the agenda in many countries. Most of them consider switching from traditional energy sources to renewable ones as one of the ways to reduce fuel import. This concept absolutely conforms to one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Goal no. 7, “Affordable and Clean Energy”). In May 2019, the Government of Uzbekistan Republic adopted the law on the Use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). By 2030, Uzbekistan is going to increase the share of RES in the total structure of electricity generation up to 25 % (currently it is at 10 %), by building solar and wind farms with a total installed capacity of 5,000 MW and 3,000 MW, respectively. The energy-deficient Bostanliq district of the Tashkent region has become one of the places of interest, where transport infrastructure, recreation services, and renewable energy will be developed. The purpose of this study was a multivariate analysis, considering the meteorological, ecological, and socio-economic characteristics of the Bostanliq district, leading to the selection of the optimal location for the wind farm. The assessment map based on the results of this analysis made it possible to identify areas that are most suitable for the location of wind power plants. The assessment method, that was used in this work, is also applicable to other regions of the world.

Authors: Kozin Sergey , Markin Dmitriy , Makeev Sergey
Published: November 2021

The application of the tools of the Anylogic simulation model development environment is described, which makes it possible to clearly understand the basic principles of identifying mobile objects that are sources of radio emission. The article presents the main research results of various approaches to solving the problem of positioning radio signal sources based on measuring the level of its power by base stations of wireless data transmission networks. The positioning problem was solved under conditions of high mobility of the radio signal source. To solve the problem, a set of methods was used: trilateration, fuzzy logic, statistical test method (Monte Carlo), splitting method, as well as heuristic. The results obtained were tested in the developed prototypes in the form of simulation models in the Anylogic environment. Field measurements made in real operating conditions of positioning systems were used as initial data. Within the framework of this work, the following main results were obtained: implementation of a complex of modeling algorithms that carry out a number of random processes: motion of radio signal sources and propagation of radio waves; algorithms that implement the analytical calculation of the estimated location area based on various methods. A complex of simulation models of positioning systems has been developed, which makes it possible to visualize the determination of the location of a radio signal source in an urban environment, taking into account its mobility. Conclusions are formulated regarding the results of the conducted research. The scientific significance of the work lies in the development of a heuristic positioning algorithm based on sector partitioning and fuzzy logic. The practical value of the work lies in the development of a set of algorithms and their practical implementation in the form of applications in the Java language for the Anylogic modeling environment, which allow investigating the effectiveness of various predictive algorithms for positioning accuracy.
Spatio-temporal database design for backbone power grid of Russia
Authors: Karpachevskiy Andrey , Titov German
Published: November 2021

Backbone power lines in Russia have a complex spatial structure. There are no systematized and topologically consistent spatio-temporal data about them. however, the study of their evolution requires not only data mining, but also a comprehensive design of the structure of the spatio-temporal database. The structure should provide effective data storage, be convenient for filling the database and editing data, provide the ability to reconstruct the network for a given period and apply spatial analysis methods.

Open sources like power grid operator reports, schemes and programs of power grid development, public cadastral map, information from Situational and Analytical Center of the Ministry of Energy and very high spatial resolution remote sensing data are the main data sources.

Users do not have direct access to the database but refer to it using queries. Interaction with the database is carried out through Application programming Interface (API). This allows downloading data from the database as well as embedding them into external systems, for example, connecting analysis tools to them, creating cartographic web applications with this data.

Data preprocessing is performed in python using the Arcpy module, the database is created with PostgreSQl, the API works on PostgREST.

Consistent multi-temporal spatial database serves as the basis for analyzing the structural features of electrical networks, makes it possible to visualize the history of the development of the power grid of the territory in an interactive web-based mapping application, allows to apply geoprocessing tools and special network analysis tools. The detailed study of the evolution of backbone power grids is crucial in long-term strategies for the development of the power grid.

Abroad, studies of the evolution of electrical networks usually operate with a schematic graph of a network without reference to real spatial geometry, therefore, there is no problem of designing the structure of spatio-temporal database. yet, ignoring topomorphological relationships in the network leads to the loss of information about electrical networks, which leads to a loss in the quality of spatial analysis.
STRUCTURAL MODERNIZATION OF THE REGIONAL ECONOMY OF THE NCFD SUBJECTS: PROBLEMS, PROSPECTS AND FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Medzhidov Z.U.
Published: November 2021

Structural transformations of the regional economy today are the primary necessity and driving force behind the transformation of the country's economy. In connection with constant external and internal threats and the need to overcome their consequences, the regional economy needs structural modernization and the definition of its essential features, which are the key to the formation of regional policy priorities, mechanisms for its implementation, improvement of tools and methods for the implementation of modernization measures. The above determines the theoretical and methodological essence of the structural modernization of the regional economy and is one of the most pressing and debatable issues of regional development and management. The study presents the scientific approaches of a number of Russian scientists to understanding the content of the definition of “structural modernization of the regional economy”. We believe that in order to improve the system of interregional management of the socio-economic potential of the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District, it is necessary to develop interregional economic clusters, interregional innovation centers capable of more comprehensively using the resources of regional economies. In this case, the priority tasks of interregional organizational structures include strengthening competitive growth points, real building up and effective use of socio-economic potential, both of the macroregion as a whole and of its individual regional entities. Among other things, the article substantiates the need to modernize the structure of the national economy of the North Caucasian regions. A mechanism for managing the modernization of the economy of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District is proposed.
RESPECT FOR THE PRIVACY PROTECTED BY LAW IN THE CONDUCT OF INVESTIGATIVE ACTIONS
Authors: Lipinsky A.P.
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the issues of ensuring the privacy protected by law in the course of individual investigative actions. The procedural procedure established by the Code of Criminal Procedure for conducting investigative actions does not unequivocally guarantee the protection of privacy, since initially it is impossible to establish the possibility of obtaining a certain result during their conduct, and therefore the question arises of observing guarantees for protecting the right to privacy of participants in criminal proceedings. The author justifies the need, before initiating investigative actions involving invited specialists, translators, interpreters and other persons, to warn them of criminal liability for disclosing the information they received as a result of the proceedings in their presence. The use of photos and video recordings of objects that may contain personal secrets is unacceptable if this does not apply to participants in a criminal law conflict. The transcript of telephone conversations is made only in the part related to the study of the circumstances of the crime committed. Other information should not be reflected in the transcript.
THE CONCEPT OF THE SANITARY PROTECTION ZONE: APPROACHES AND DEFINITIONS
Authors: Muntyanu P.V.
Published: November 2021

The article gives an authorial definition of the sanitary protection zone. Sources of ionizing radiation were not taken into account when the definition was created as they have their own specifics and require individual investigation. The definition of the sanitary protection zone is given through the substance of its features, which are disclosed through analysis and comparison of regulatory acts, draft regulatory acts and literature. The features of the sanitary protection zone are the following: facility in respect of which the sanitary protection zone is established; the purpose of its establishment; zone size and boundaries; zone location and configuration; restriction of rights within the zone boundaries. It is proposed to define the facility in a general term “real estate”. It is defined that the purpose of establishing a sanitary protection zone is to ensure the absence of harmful impact on human health outside its boundaries. The size of a sanitary protection zone is calculated in eight cardinal directions taking into account the chemical, biological and physical impact on atmospheric air. The location of a sanitary protection zone is determined around an industrial facility and resembles a belt in configuration. The boundaries of a sanitary protection zone are determined by the geodetic method. The size and boundaries of a zone are shown in urban development zoning maps and in the public cadastral map. Restrictions within sanitary protection zones are expressed in prohibition on construction and obligations on compliance with the established regime.
PROVISION OF QUALIFIED LEGAL ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS AND WITNESSES WITH DEVIANT BEHAVIOR: POSING A PROBLEM
Authors: Tat'yanin D.V.
Published: November 2021

Ensuring the protection of the rights of the individual is the purpose of criminal proceedings, regardless of the procedural status of its participant. The most vulnerable individuals with different psychophysiological differences are subjected to various types of criminal attacks, while protecting themselves and their interests is quite problematic due to intellectual development or physical condition, which raises the question of ensuring the possibility of their participation and protection of rights in the adversarial process. A difficult situation exists in protecting the rights of a witness who, whether he or she is an accidental eyewitness to the event or a witness to the event by the victim or the accused, is exposed to the representatives of the parties concerned, which raises the question of ensuring the protection of the rights of witnesses. Often, persons with deviant deviations, both social and psychobiological, act as witnesses and victims, but the possibility of establishing the circumstances of the case depends on the truthful and objective testimony of victims and witnesses. The need to provide victims with deviant deviations with qualified legal assistance, providing for the participation of a representative lawyer, was justified, and the grounds for the mandatory participation of a representative lawyer of the victim were determined. When a witness manifests deviant behavior, he should consult a psychiatrist, with pronounced mental abnormalities, prescribe a forensic psychiatric examination. Given the peculiarities of deviant behavior, it is proposed to decide on the use of a representative lawyer to provide him with qualified assistance.
The lobbying of cities in the European Union
Authors: Kurczewska Urszula
Published: November 2021

Most European Union policies directly affect cities, but their role in formulating these policies is insufficient. Therefore, cities are undertaking para-diplomacy and lobbying at the EU level independently of national governments. They use the opportunities offered by the EU, namely multilevel governance system and the European Commission’s policy of openness and deliberation. The article presents an analysis of the patterns and strategies of representation of cities’ interests at the EU level, their adaptation to the requirements of the EU interests intermediation system, as well as the motivations for undertaking lobbying. It is argued that cities follow two main channels of interests representation: permanent representations with direct lobbying in Brussels and activity in European city networks. Two types of motivations behind lobbying can be distinguished: regulatory mobilization and financial mobilization. Their relations with EU institutions are subject to advanced institutionalization.

CCP leadership has been signalling the importance of smart cities development, to the point of including it in national strategy - over the past decade, China has become a global leader in smart city initiatives – advancements in big data and artificial intelligence (AI) powered analysis undoubtedly improved urban management and digital technologies are extensively interwoven into the everyday life of denizens of Chinese cities and villages. The government has been presenting initiatives related to smart city programme as a way of bringing the citizens closer to the state, building a “harmonious society” through a “culture of honesty”. But what is the extent to which integration of citizen into smart systems changes life in data-enabled cities? This paper will present an overview of the findings in current research of the implications of Chinese approach to smart city concept. It will be also an attempt to highlight the crucial elements of cyber security in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart solutions employed in China.
Cooperation of German cities with Chinese partners and its importance for Germany’s foreign policy
Authors: Ciesielska-Klikowska Joanna
Published: November 2021

The 21st century is a time of enormous development of cities as political, economic and social actors actively shaping the global scene. Among them German cities are important actors on the international political arena, as they have extensive competences to conduct foreign policy, resulting from the federal system. Over the past years, contacts of German cities with Chinese entities have experienced a particularly dynamic development. For German cities their Chinese partners have become both cooperators in terms of administrative and economic solutions, but also more and more often collaborators on educational and cultural issues.The aim of this article is, thus, to map the connections between German and Chinese cities, and then to refer to the place which international relations conducted by sub-state entities find in foreign policy implemented at the federal level. The starting point for the analysis is the presentation of the role of city diplomacy, and then results of a survey conducted among officials representing German cities inhabited by at least 50,000 people. The author will present the conditions of bilateral cooperation between cities, key areas of cooperation, determinants of success and the most common problems. In the last part, the author will analyze the role played by cities in the German political reality. In this way, the author will indicate whether the actions towards Chinese partners are coordinated with other institutions at the regional and national level.

Compromiso del profesorado universitario con estudiantes de Grado de Educación Primaria en tiempos de pandemia: Un estudio de caso
Authors: Quijano López Rocío , Pérez Ferra Miguel , Martínez Serrano Mª del Carmen
Published: November 2021

El estudio analiza treinta y una narrativas de estudiantes del título de grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Jaén, que describen la percepción de los estudiantes sobre el nuevo contexto formativo ante el COVID-19, los problemas generados y la respuesta de profesores y alumnos ante la nueva situación. Se parte de treinta y una narrativas autobiográficas de los estudiantes que siguen el curso en línea, utilizando un proceso de análisis inductivo, basado en la “Teoría Fundamentada”, fundamentado en un estudio descriptivo mediante el software informático NVivo-11Plus, que ha generado seis categorías relacionadas con la adecuación del profesorado para formar en línea, compromiso ético de profesores y estudiantes, interacción, así como nuevos contextos y problemas que surgen. El discurso de los estudiantes valora positivamente el esfuerzo de actualización de los docentes, su compromiso ético y capacidad para la interacción. El discurso no evidencia compromiso ético de los estudiantes, aunque sí cierta pulsión emocional hacia el “otro”. Se evidencian carencias al considerar la actividad formativa como mera efectuación y fragmentación a partir de la filosofía analítica del lenguaje, carencias que se manifiestan en la integridad e integralidad de la formación de las personas.
Studi Fenomenologis-Historis Inklusifitas Dakwah Trah Adzmatkhan di Nusantara
Authors: Hidayatullah Ahmad
Published: November 2021

This study uses a qualitative research type with a phenomenological-historical approach to explaining the Da'wah of the Adzmatkhan breed. The result is that the noble principles are still closely held by the next generation who have a lineage continuity with the Adzmatkhan breed. Many of those who are affiliated with NU – both structurally and culturally – still maintain this principle, even when they have to face the phenomenon of the primordial glorification of some members of the Prophet's dzuriyah which is quite disturbing. Several times they had to go head to head with high tension in order to straighten this out. However, this does not make the Adzmatkhan breed which is in the same line as NU ignore their teachings to love and respect the dhuriyah of the Prophet. In this context, they do not need formal legal recognition of the lineage, because the bigger thing to fight for is Islam in the style of ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah itself.
Antiplatelet Therapy for Secondary Stroke Prevention in Patients with Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
Authors: Lee Kyung-Yul
Published: November 2021

The risk of stroke recurrence is highest in the acute phase after transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke. Therefore, patients with TIA or ischemic stroke should be treated with antiplatelet medication for stroke prevention. The short-term use of dual antiplatelet therapy between 21 and 90 days may be considered in those with acute minor stroke or TIA and highrisk of recurrence. However, the long-term use of dual antiplatelet therapy is not recommended due to the risk of bleeding. The current stroke guideline does not specify the administration of an antiplatelet for the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. However, as clinical studies progress, antiplatelet therapy may become a personalized treatment in the future.

Published: November 2021

Epidemic vector-borne viral infections pose a serious threat to public health worldwide. There is currently no specific preventive treatment for most of them. One of the promising solutions for combating viral fevers is development of vector vaccines, including MVA-based vaccines, which have virtually no adverse side effects. The safety of the MVA strain and absent reactogenicity of recombinant MVA vaccines have been supported by many clinical trials.The article focuses on test results for similar preventive products against viral fevers: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Rift Valley fever, yellow fever, Chikungunya and Zika fevers.Their immunogenicity was evaluated on immunocompetent and immunocompromised white mice; their protective efficacy was assessed on immunocompromised white mice deficient in IFN-α/β receptors, that are used for experimental modeling of the infection. Nearly all the new recombinant vaccines expressing immunodominant antigens demonstrated 100% protective efficacy. It has been found that although the vaccine expressing Zika virus structural proteins induced antibodies against specific viral glycoproteins, it can be associated with high risks when used for prevention of Zika fever in individuals who had dengue fever in the past, due to the phenomenon known as antibody-dependent enhancement of infection, which can occur in diseases caused by antigenically related flaviruses. For this reason, the vaccine expressing non-structural protein 1 (NS1) was developed for vaccination against Zika fever.The yellow fever vaccine developed on the MVA platform had immunogenicity similar to that of the commercial 17D vaccine, outperforming the latter in safety.

Published: November 2021

The aim of the work was the identification and genetic characterization of Vibrio cholerae O1 strains of the El Tor biovar sensitive to polymyxin B among isolates imported to Russia.Materials and methods. We used 56 toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of V. cholerae isolated from patients and from the environmental samples on the territory of Russia in 1970-2020. Resistance to polymyxin B was determined according to MR4.2.2218-07. The ability of strains to form a biofilm on the abiotic surface was assessed by a photometric method. Nucleotide sequences of genes were determined using UGENE 1.32 and MEGA X software. Phylogenetic analysis and tree construction were performed using "maximum parsimony" method in MEGA X software.Results and discussion. Two genetically modified strains of V. cholerae O1 biovar El Tor, M1509 and 3265/80, which were imported to Russia from India in 2012 and 2014, respectively, were identified. The analysis of 12 genes responsible for the resistance of V. cholerae O1 biovar El Tor strains to polymyxin B demonstrated that these strains contain the allele of the carRS gene, which is typical for all strains of cholera vibrio sensitive to polymyxin B. Study of V. cholerae M1509 and 3265/80 phylogeny based on SNP analysis showed that they fall into the same cluster with isolates containing the carRS allele isolated in India (2015) and Bangladesh (2018). V. cholerae M1509 and 3256/8 strains had the ability to form a biofilm similar to those observed in other genetically modified strains of cholera vibrio included into analysis.Conclusion. Highly virulent strains of the cholera agent with altered diagnostically significant features are imported into Russia, which should be taken into account when identifying V. cholerae O1 biovar El Tor strains isolated from patients and environmental samples during monitoring studies.

Authors: Kravtsov A. L. , Bugorkova S. A.
Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic continues, causing colossal damage to the population and the global economy. As COVID-19 is studied, new data are emerging regarding the risk of severe coronavirus infection in patients with α1-antitrypsin deficiency. α1 -Antitrypsin is the main inhibitor and key endogenous regulator of the serine leukocyte proteinase activitry released from the granules of activated neutrophils to the cell surface and into the extracellular space. It has been established that the number of cases of severe course and death of COVID-19 in the territories of 68 countries of the world correlates with the frequency of the spread of mutations in the proteinase inhibitor gene among the population of these countries, at which the concentration of α1-antitrypsin in the human blood plasma is 10 times lower than normal. All this contributes to the revision of a number of provisions of the pathogenesis and therapy of a new coronavirus infection.The review presents an analysis of the literature on the role of an inhibitor of serine leukocyte proteinases in protecting the body from COVID-19. The participation of α1-antitrypsin in the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 penetration into the respiratory tract epithelial cells, in the protection of the vascular endothelium, blood plasma proteins and elastin of the lung tissue from the damaging effect of leukocyte elastase released during neutrophil degranulation and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is considered. The role of a1-antitrypsin in suppressing inflammation by limiting the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and neutrophil extracellular traps into the blood has been shown. The individual links in the pathogenesis of the new coronavirus infection have been detailed, which will allow revising the strategy for reducing the risks of severe course of COVID-19.
Epidemiologic characteristics of Campylobacter infections in high-income countries: a systematic review
Authors: Gill G.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The Campylobacter is the most common bacterial cause of foodborne illnesses in high-income countries. In contrast to other infectious diseases, the number of Campylobacter cases has increased in developed countries over the last ten years. A systematic review has been conducted to identify the factors contributing to incidence of Campylobacter infection in developed countries and to estimate it by age, sex, geography, and season.Materials and methods. The review was limited to studies published in English from 2010-2021; eight nationwide surveillance and register-based cohort studies, which met the selection criteria, were included in the review.Results. While the highest incidence of Campylobacter infection was reported among young children living in rural areas, the highest number of Campylobacter cases among adults was recorded in urban settings. Nevertheless, population-wise, children and older adults are most affected, while the incidence rates are higher in males than in females, with cases peaking every summer.Conclusion. Campylobacter infection is a public health concern in high-income countries, being difficult to eradicate and having become an urgent challenge to the existing well-developed surveillance systems. Additionally, the threat of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter is growing at an alarming rate. The reasons behind Campylobacter affecting more men than women as well as the age and geographic distribution of the infection still need thorough research.
Evaluation of mutagenicity, genotoxicity and chronic toxicity of antiviral drug imidazolyl ethanamide pentandioic acid in in vitro and in vivo test systems
Authors: Jain E. A. , Pleimes D. , Globenko A. A.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The antiviral properties of imidazolyl ethanamide pentandioic acid (IPA), the active compound of the drug product, has been proven in various experimental models. However, the literature data on the toxicological properties of IPA are limited.Purpose. To evaluate mutagenic and genotoxic properties in in vitro and in vivo models, as well as to study the toxicity of IPA following chronic oral administration to rats and dogs.Materials and methods. Mutagenic and genotoxic properties of IPA were assessed using the Ames test, the test of chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes, and the micronucleus test in rats. The chronic toxicity of IPA was studied in Sprague Dawley rats and beagle dogs of both sexes, to which IPA was administered orally at doses of 30-300 mg/kg/day for 26 and 39 weeks, respectively.Results and discussion. In the Ames test, the addition of IPA up to the maximum dose (5000 mcg/plate) did not result in the increase in the number of revertant colonies. At a concentration of up to 5000 mcg/ml, IPA did not cause chromosomal aberrations in human leukocytes. At doses doses ≤ 2000 mg/kg, IPA did not increase the amount of micronuclei in the bone marrow of rats. In chronic experiments, animals tolerated the administration of IPA well: the dose without an observed effect (NOEL) for rats and dogs was 300 mg/kg/day.Conclusion. IPA did not show mutagenic and genotoxic properties in standard in vitro and in vivo tests. With chronic oral administration to rats and dogs, NOEL IPA equal to 300 mg/kg/day provided a systemic exposure that was 8-10 and 41-65 times higher than that in humans, respectively. The results obtained allow us to consider the safety profile of the prolonged use in humans as favorable.

The book addresses these questions on the basis of a case study on coworking experiences in the city of Florence, exploring the subjective aspects of this form of work, the intertwining of contents, conditions and meaning of work.
Degrowing circular cities: emerging socio-technical experiments for Transition
Authors: Visconti Cristina
Published: November 2021

The circular economy applied to the urban context is linked to sustainability objectives focused on environmental performances overlooking socio-political implications, in order to achieve a circular balance within the neoliberal paradigm of business-nature-society in a continuous growth scenario. This paper discusses this criticality, articulating a counter perspective based on the debate of degrowth, circularity and technology through the analysis of three cases of socio-technical assemblages: Transition Towns; Repair Cafes; Community Gardens. The research individuates the effectiveness of urban practices in which the circularity is implemented beyond purely economic interactions or eco-efficiency parameters, defining the potentialities of a degrowing circular city based on inclusiveness, social justice and reciprocity.

During the periodbetween 1852 and 1932, the Austrian Criminal Code was in force in Galicia. Besides, starting from the second half of the 19th century,there was a growing public interest in infanticide, which could be explained by the fact that the society considered such acts to beimmoral, where the victim was a defenceless child, whose own mother was a criminal. Such cases were covered in numerous Galicianperiodicals, and the cases themselves became notable. Nonetheless, most of these crimes remained unsolved.The article dwells on the development of the concept of criminal responsibility for infanticide in the Ukrainian territories in themiddle of the 19th – first third of the 20th century in accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Criminal Code 1852.The law clearly established a distinction between abortion and infanticide, however, in both cases, the object of legal protectionwas the child’s life (whether the child was born or not). It was specifically emphasized that the qualifying feature for this crime was amother’s marital status. The have been analysed the motives the legislative establishment could be guided by when formulating theprivileged components of this crime. There have been provided common features of the examination procedure, whose goal was toestablish the fact of the birth of a child alive as a prerequisite for prosecution for infanticide. It was emphasized that criminal and pu -nishable actions mean not only trying to take the child’s life, but also mother’s inactivity in case of failure to provide the necessaryassistance during childbirth process.
