The steadily increasing epidemic of obesity continues at alarming rates, is an important public health problem, and expression changes of S100A16 and 11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1(11β-HSD1) is attributable to the adipocyte differentiation. In our previous study, we found that 11β-HSD1 protein expression increased in S100A16-overexpressed 3T3-L1 cell model. In order to further investigate the relationship between S100A16 and 11β-HSD1, and the molecular mechanisms of S100A16-induced adipogenesis, we constructed S100A16 transgenic and knockout mouse, and S100A16-overexpressed 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell. Using S100A16 transgenic (S100A16Tg/+) mice fed with normal fat diet (NFD) and high fat diet (HFD) diet model, we evaluated the effect of S100A16 on adipogenesis, expression of 11β-HSD1, and RNA sequencing and quantification of gene expression. Using the 3T3-L1 cell model, we examined the effect of S100A16 and 11β-HSD1 on pre-adipocyte differentiation, and cell signaling events of 11β-HSD1 overexpression induced by S100A16. We found that when compared with C57BL/6 mice, overexpression of S100A16 under the condition of HFD increased lipid content in WAT and fat infiltration in hepatocytes, 11β-HSD1 protein expression increased along with S100A16. Elevated S100A16 and 11β-HSD1 expression promoted adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. Overexpression of S100A16 inhibited the degradation of 11β-HSD1. We conclude that S100A16-induced adipogenesis is associated with up-regulation of 11β-HSD1.
LncRNA LUCAT1 facilitates tumorigenesis and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer through modulating miR-5702
Authors: Mou Exian , Wang Hao
Published: August 2019

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of aggressive breast cancer with high recurrence and poor survival. Emerging evidence has indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in the development and progression of multiple cancers. Although there are substantial studies revealing that lung cancer-associated transcript 1 (LUCAT1) functions as a tumor promotor in various human cancers, the molecular mechanism of LUCAT1 in TNBC remains largely to be explored. In our study, we identified that LUCAT1 expression was dramatically enhanced in TNBC samples and cells. High LUCAT1 expression was strongly associated with advanced stages and poor prognosis of TNBC. LUCAT1 contributed to TNBC development through accelerating cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and metastasis as well as attenuating cell apoptosis. Moreover, miR-5702 was proved to directly bind to LUCAT1 and be negatively modulated by LUCAT1. Knockdown of miR-5702 reversed the suppressing influences of LUCAT1 depletion on TNBC progression. In conclusion, it was the first investigation to shed light on the significant function and underlying regulatory mechanism of LUCAT1 in TNBC tumorigenesis. We validated that LUCAT1 induced tumorigenesis and metastasis of TNBC via miR-5702, which provided clues for improving the treatment of TNBC.

Plasma levels of chemerin, an adipocytokine produced from the adipose tissues and liver, are associated with metabolic syndrome and coronary artery disease (CAD). Chemerin and its analog, chemerin-9, are known to bind to their receptor, ChemR23. However, whether chemerin and chemerin-9 affect atherogenesis remains to be elucidated. We investigated the expression of chemerin and ChemR23 in human coronary arteries and cultured human vascular cells. The effects of chemerin and chemerin-9 on atheroprone phenomena were assessed in human THP1 monocytes, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) and aortic lesions in Apoe−/− mice. In patients with CAD, a small amount of ChemR23, but not chemerin, was expressed within atheromatous plaques in coronary arteries. Chemerin and ChemR23 were expressed at high levels in THP1 monocytes, THP1-derived macrophages, and HUVECs; however, their expression in HASMCs was weak. Chemerin and chemerin-9 significantly suppressed the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced mRNA expression of adhesion and pro-inflammatory molecules in HUVECs. Chemerin and chemerin-9 significantly attenuated the TNF-α-induced adhesion of THP1 monocytes to HUVECs and macrophage inflammatory phenotype. Chemerin and chemerin-9 suppressed oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced macrophage foam cell formation associated with down-regulation of CD36 and up-regulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). In HASMCs, chemerin and chemerin-9 significantly suppressed migration and proliferation without inducing apoptosis. In the Apoe−/− mice, a 4-week infusion of chemerin-9 significantly decreased the areas of aortic atherosclerotic lesions by reducing intraplaque macrophage and SMC contents. Our results indicate that chemerin-9 prevents atherosclerosis. Therefore, the development of chemerin analogs/ChemR23 agonists may serve as a novel therapeutic target for atherosclerotic diseases.

Authors: Strogonov Konstantin , Tolkanov Sergey , Korkots Karina , Fedyukhin Alexander
Published: August 2019

The article proposes a technical solution for reducing the energy costs of casting process and providing more stable production conditions, specifically, the use of a thermostatic cap. Two variants of steel casting are considered: with and without the application of a thermostatic cover using the example of a bucket with a capacity of six tons of steel. The technical challenge is to reduce heat losses through the bucket neck to ensure the stability of the melting temperature throughout the casting and to reduce the temperature of metal release from the steelmaking unit. The design of the thermostatic cover with specifications, as well as the duration of process steps in the steel casting with and without the use of a thermally insulated cap are described. The balance calculations were carried out using MathCAD environment, which confirmed significant energy savings with a slight increase in casting time associated with the appearance of an additional technological operation for installing the thermostatic cover after pouring. Using ANSYS Academic software, a study was carried out on the thermal fields of the ladle and steel at various stages of casting for two options, which confirmed the effectiveness of using a thermostatic cover.

Published: August 2019

Pumping equipment is one of the main systems of water supply and sewerage, where centrifugal pumps are mostly used due to the simple design and the optimal interval of the parameters of flow and pressure. The paper considers the development of a centrifugal pump from the point of view of system analysis, since this approach considers any technical object as a complex of interacting elements having the properties that are not reduced to the properties of individual elements designed to perform certain useful functions. The aim of the paper is to find patterns of development of the centrifugal pump as a technical system to predict its further evolution. Domestic and foreign patent fund of Class F 04 D in the amount of 724 units was used as the main source. In the paper, the device of the centrifugal pump as a technical system is divided into the following main structural subsystems: impeller blades, impeller disks; housing; pressure pipe and suction pipe. Each of these elements has its main useful function and a number of auxiliaries, which are discussed in detail. It is established that an increase in the degree of control of the centrifugal pump can be achieved by dynamization of transmission, specifically, the regulation of the revolutions transmitted from the engine to the impeller mechanically, with the help of fluid coupling and frequency converters.

Authors: Shiryaev Dmitry , Benuzh Andrey
Published: August 2019

Residential sector in Russia makes up a significant part in the total energy demand of the country. The article demonstrates sensible energy saving potential in case of a single-family house in different climate conditions of the Russian Federation. Modern tools of building energy performance simulation and renewable energy modeling demonstrated a significant effect of the complex energy efficiency technologies, such as using of modern highly insulated constructional materials, installation of efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and implementation of sustainable energy. Annual energy use dramatically declines in comparing with buildings built according to outdated technologies. In particular, the use of photovoltaic modules can meet more than half of the building's energy demand and ensure the autonomy of a building during the warm season. These values differ depending on the location due to the large territory and diverse climatic conditions from the Mediterranean in the south to the Arctic ones in the north.

Authors: Gumerova Eliza , Petrochenko Marina , Kankhva Vadim
Published: August 2019

The article studies process of optimization of cost management structure for improving quality of constructional works in apartment. Property owner has the right to demand the apartment quality during the warranty period. Article 756 of the Civil code of the Russian Federation indicates the limit warranty period as 5 years. Constructional defects can be divided into two categories: general construction and engineering system defects. There are 3 methods, which are applicable to the assessment of apartment quality: ABC, target-costing and life-cycle cost analysis. It is essential to identify the parameters, which can decrease service costs and quantity of defects. Three models of apartment with different conditions are compared. Considering such parameters as the number of defects, the presence of delay in the execution of application, financial loss, presence of repeated complaint from owner, the formula of quality assessment is proposed. New equation allows assessing the quality of the apartment and defining variables, which can influence on it.

Experimental comparison of altitudes with modern geodetic methods
Authors: Kovačič Boštjan
Published: August 2019

Levelling is one of the most important geodesic works in construction and other interventions in space. Mostly, it is used for the needs of the altitude presentations of the terrain, to determine shifts, to determine the height of the object, and for various precise laboratory and scientific researches. When determining the shifts, the values are confirmed with the results of levelling, and deformations are calculated. There are a lot of methods to determine height differences; which one will be used, depends on the complexity of the works. Recently, the GNSS method is mostly used. It offers 2D positionally reliable results, whereas the vertical component does not provide reliable results. For this purpose, a series of tests and GNSS-measurements analysis were performed at our institution, which is also presented in the article as the GNSS-measurements analysis in comparison to the results obtained with the robotic total station of accuracy 0,5ˇ. Prior to the experiment, a temporal GNSS data analysis based on an individual axis and with a different way of data processing was carried out. The planning of GNSS-measurements for the needs of more demanding measurements is emphasised. To improve the determination of the vertical component, the data capture with GNSS method was increased from 10 Hz to 100 Hz, which partly improved the final values and is presented in the study.

Published: August 2019

Adhesion refers to the ability of concrete to resist slipping of reinforcement under loading in reinforced concrete products. The term "reinforced concrete" is considered as a uniform composite material as long as there is adhesion on the contact surface between the reinforcement and the concrete. In case of disruption of the reinforcement and concrete interaction, the construction is represented by separate elements. The aim of this work is to simulate the process of glass composite and metal reinforcement adhesion with cement concrete. To solve this problem, analytical modeling was performed in the ANSYS 19.0 Workbench software package, with the help of which the nature of damage accumulation in the rebar and the distribution of stresses in the concrete mass are determined.

A complex approach to the solution of problems in mechanics of deformable rigid bodies
Authors: Agakhanov Murad , Agakhanov Elifkhan
Published: August 2019

There exists an opinion that the modern numerical methods allow to solve practically any problem in mechanics. But it should be noted that both analytical and experimental methods, as before, are urgent, and exactly a complex of methods develops the mechanics of deformable rigid bodies. The statement of a problem in displacements for some possible cases of equivalent substitution of loads allows to formulate necessary and sufficient conditions of existence of an analogy presenting the effect of a forced deformation in the form of the sum of surface and volume forces, the effect of volume forces in the form of the sum of surface forces and forced deformations, the effect of surface forces in the form of the sum of forced deformations and volume forces. The substitution of volume forces for surface loads and forced deformations allows to extend the use of experimental methods and often to solve through an experimental-and theoretical approach the problems, which cannot be solved through other methods. The obtained results are a considerable step in the development of one of the approaches combining experimental, analytical and numerical methods of solution of linear problems in mechanics of deformable rigid bodies.

Published: August 2019

Economic efficiency of development of high-latitude territories directly depends on the construction technologies applied here. Traditional materials such as reinforced concrete and steel cause unacceptably high resource consumption throughout the entire technological chain of construction production in the Northern regions, and the mechanical transfer of construction technologies to high-latitude construction are ineffective. Analysis of environmental effects on buildings and structures has shown that the most effective for the Extreme North is the dome shape, namely: the building of the lenticular shape; dome building; the building in the form of a sphere; in the form of a cone formed by rotating the Reuleaux triangle around the vertical axis of symmetry; the building of tetrahedron type, and various shapes formed by the combination of buildings of dome shapes. The rationality of constructions made of wood and wood materials is emphasized, which determines the necessity of creating an industry of glued elements. It has been widely used in high-latitude construction and has proved to be the best in terms of frost resistance, low resistance to corrosion from blizzards, high specific strength and low thermal conductivity for a long time.

Published: August 2019

The development of the system of electronic public services, which is one of the directions of change in the digital economy, was the subject of the study in the present article. This system helps the state to interact with the population and organizations in such issues as providing information, particularly on individual requests, organizing public (municipal) procurements, in the matter of prices and tariffs in the energy sector, in providing public services and developing the feedback system (complaints institution), etc. The authors have concluded that a modern state should ensure the coherence between its citizens or business entities and institutions or public administrations on the basis of electronic access. Correct digitization of public administration contributes to the transparency of the public sector. Russia has enough prerequisites for the development of the electronic public services system, since Russia has traditionally established and maintained a high level of people’s education, and these days, the information technology sector develops rapidly. The study identified the main features of information and communication technologies and determined the impact of these technologies on the formation of a system of socio-economic relations and the institutional environment of modern society. The authors substantiated the necessity of a new technology package in Russia that will ensure the transition from analog to digital control methods in the energy industry and support the transformation of consumer behavior models, business practices of energy supply and service companies.

Implementation of supply-chain management in the oil industry can help to reduce costs, increase the company’s profits in managing supply, and manage the planning of deliveries.
Land plots of reclamation territories: construction and ecology-legal issues
Authors: Voskresenskaya Elena , Vorona-Slivinskaya Lybov , Tilinin Yury
Published: August 2019

The article focuses on the peculiarities of legal relations on using beds and aquatic areas of water bodies, protective shorefronts and water protection zones when creating reclamation grounds as parts of the urban environment. The authors mention that there are no particular sections of land and town-planning legislation required to regulate this process, and the legal status of beds of water bodies is not defined in the legislation. Beds of water bodies belong to water fund lands; therefore, creating reclamation grounds requires a decision on the provision of land plot in a protective shorefront or in water protection zone and a land plot on the bed of a water body. The authors conclude that modern technical means allow determining the site line for creating reclamation grounds. Purposeful human activity aimed at the transformation of environment leads to creation of a territory, which firstly should respond to the attributes of safe environment, and secondly may have attributes of a land plot as a real estate object: in other words, it will be a natural-anthropogenic object. The present paper substantiates the proposals on the need for changes in the legislation governing the procedure for the creation of reclamation grounds.

Published: August 2019

The paper presents the concept of public-private partnership that is a relatively innovative mechanics, which serves to combine the investments of the state and free enterprise in the implementation of large infrastructure projects. For Russia, it is strategically important and relevant to remain independent in the field of energy. The energy sector requires introduction of innovative facilities and modernization of facilities that are in operation A growing understanding of the urgency of the problem of budgetary investment volumes makes the state look for alternative financing mechanisms. The coordination of interests is an integral part of the interaction of the state and business in the framework of public-private partnership. The state is mainly interested in the implementation of strategic plans for the development of the energy field, as well as improving the quality and increasing the amount of services. The investors are interested in obtaining a stable refundability on investment. In these conditions, public-private partnership is the most relevant form of implementation of large investment projects in Russia. The ratio of costs and the results obtained expresses the concept of efficiency. However, public-private partnership projects are difficult to evaluate and ambiguous. For each of the participants, performance evaluation has a different nature and includes various indicators. During the life cycle of projects, the interaction conditions and risks that accompany the project may change.

Published: August 2019

Every year, the volumes of funding in the sphere of provision of state and municipal demand increases significantly. Achieving the effectiveness of government contracts is one of the main and “eternal” problems of public funds management. For public procurement to be effective, it is necessary to meet the needs of the relevant actors, i.e. society, the state, and the private sector. In order to make a qualitative forecast of the results of public procurement placement, the development and implementation of measures aimed at improving the public procurement system, it is necessary to assess the current situation of manifestation of risks arising from the procurement of goods, works and services for state and municipal needs. For this purpose, a risk-based model for assessing the system of state and municipal procurement has been developed, which allows disclosing the nature of the risks of the procurement cycle fully and identifying a case scenario for choosing a way to loss minimization.
Management of the common property of an apartment building: legal issues
Authors: Filatova Ulyana , Dalbaeva Natalia , Semeryanova Nina , Dolnikova Ludmila , Bayanov Dmitriy
Published: August 2019

The article discusses the main issues of the legal regime of public facilities in non-residential buildings, the system of management of such property. The relevance of the research topic is manifested in the following aspects. With the development of market economy, the need to use non-residential premises, including those located in buildings, has increased. The presence of material base is an essential condition for the development of entrepreneurial activity. However, legislative gaps in the field of common property management by owners of non-residential premises lead to deceleration of economic processes and adversely affect sustainable development and welfare of cities. For a long time, in theory and practice, there were different opinions about the possibility of extending, by analogy with the common property of the building, provisions on the common property regime of an apartment building. Despite the fact that the issue of legal vacuum was partially solved by the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation by the issuance of Resolution No. 64 of the Plenum of July 23, 2009, many questions on the legality of using the proclaimed analogy of the law still do not find an unequivocal solution in lawmaking and law enforcement activities of relevant legislative and judicial bodies.

Authors: Melnikova Olga , Shuvalova Svetlana
Published: August 2019

The article gives a brief overview of the types of perspective. The importance of perspective’s construction from the real point of view is noted. An attempt to clarify the significance of spatial thinking and crea-tive imagination in teaching an architect’s profession is made in this paper. The methods of descriptive geometry affecting the accuracy of visual clari-ty are determined. The importance of creative and professional characteris-tics of a student-architect and a practicing architect are examined. Stu-dents-architects and practicing architects with different working experience were presented as the respondents. The similarity in the designation of high importance of imagination and creative thinking in all groups of respond-ents in professional work was revealed.

Regional economic development depends on development of fuel and energy industry facilities capable of ensuring a stable and reliable supply of energy carriers. At present, it is impossible to imagine livelihood of population without electrical energy. Russia produces 1094 billion kWh of electrical energy, of which 580 billion kWh is consumed by industry. Electrical energy is the basis for development of all types of economic activities. It is a condition for creation of material values and an increase in the standard of living of population. Modern industrial technologies are characterized by high energy intensity. Industry is dependent on electrical energy which drives power equipment. Electric power affects productivity which is the main indicator of production efficiency. The increase in GRP is mainly accounted for manufacturing industry (high-tech production) and service sector. Such indicators as GRP per capita, the volume of goods shipped by manufacturing industries, consumption of electricity by industry, and electric power per worker characterize sustainable socio-economic development of regions. It is relevant to conduct a statistical analysis of these indicators and identify development prospects to ensure energy security of regions.
Effectiveness of adaptive control of traffic light intersection on isolated multi-lane intersections
Authors: Andronov Roman , Leverents Evgeny
Published: August 2019

The use of information technology in traffic management can increase the capacity of traffic intersections and reduce vehicle delays. In cities, adaptive traffic control at traffic lights intersections has been well established. Adaptive regulation is applied mainly on isolated traffic lights, where the traffic flow has a predominantly exponential distribution of intervals. It was established experimentally that the effectiveness of the method decreases with a supersaturated traffic flow, which makes it difficult to find a “cutoff point”, a convenient moment for switching the traffic light signal. The article shows that at isolated multi-band intersections, the search for a convenient signal switching time is difficult at low loading levels. At uninsulated intersections, the incoming flow will have clear periods of time without vehicles, which makes the operation of adaptive traffic control in these conditions at a multi-lane crossing more efficient. This suggests the need for further study of the patterns of distribution of intervals between cars in urban environments at the approaches to non-isolated intersections and at the approach to intersections operating without coordination with other traffic lights.
Implementation of the “dacha” law on agricultural lands and lands of populated areas

Published: August 2019

Since January 1, 2019, Federal Law No.217 dated July 29, 2018 “On the introduction by citizens of gardening and gardening for their own needs and on amending certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as Law No.217). Changes that occurred with gardening and dacha plots in connection with the adoption of the new federal law caused a number of problems with its implementation. This law has caused a big resonance among citizens, and among management structures, and among the community of cadastral engineers. Land plots that are located in the dacha and garden associations now fall into the development areas of individual and low-rise residential buildings, blocked residential area development. And houses on these sites can acquire the status of individual houses. In this regard, there will be and will arise many questions and problems with the use and management of territories and the registration of rights to real estate.

The aim of this paper is to develop a methodological approach that allows an organization to use the concept of open innovation in its activity. As a result of the study, an algorithm for developing and implementing an open innovation model was formed, principles and quality indicators of companies’ openness to innovation were structured, a mechanism for assessing and increasing the level of openness of a company to innovation was developed, and an approach to determine the correlation between coefficients of openness to innovation and economic indicators of company performance was proposed.
Method of calculating the preferred approach in the evaluation of intellectual property

Published: August 2019

The paper presents a method for calculating the preferred approach when evaluating intellectual property, taking into account local confidence factors, which makes it possible to obtain the final value of intellectual property with high probability and accuracy, using three wellknown approaches. This method has a high practical significance, since all evaluators have to constantly face the choice of the preferred approach. Local confidence factors have been developed with the respect to the type of intellectual property, the type of production, the stage of the life cycle, the purpose of using the object, the value of the indicator deviation from the average value. The influencing factor determines the local confidence factor for each method of evaluation separately through the established functional dependence. The method used neural network modeling, which allows quickly solving a whole range of problems in a single method. Using the proposed method, it is possible to automatically calculate the weighting coefficients of the income, cost, and comparative method, ensuring the necessary accuracy of the final value.
Socio-economic features of the regions as a fundamental factor in their long-term development

Published: August 2019

The features of the regions in the socio-economic terms determine the development of the national economy and the level of citizens’ well-being. The paper highlights the features of the regions depending on three areas: budgetary, social, and economic. These areas are analyzed using the example of the Central Federal District of Russia. Based on the results of the analysis, the features of the regions within the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation are determined. In addition, perspective directions for the development of the regions under consideration are presented on the basis of improving statistics, monitoring, increasing the salaryindex, reducing the debt load on the population, developing the digital economy, and improving the system of subsidies. The possibility of avoiding the subsidization of regions through the development of innovation and agriculture is also shown. An author’s approach is proposed to determine the characteristics of the region for their future development. The justifying calculations for the applied approach in the framework of the efficiency of the regional economy on the basis of the salaryindex and the determination of the level of competitiveness of the region on the basis of the energy efficiency index are given. The justifying calculation conducted on the basis of the regions of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation confirms the developed hypotheses.
