The Role of the Judging Spectator in Politics: Arendt’s Approach
Authors: Sidorova Maria
Published: October 2019

We can find the opposition between the judging spectator and the judging actor in Arendt’s unfinished theory of judgment. In analyzing this opposition, some interpreters have come to the conclusion that Arendt finally defines political judgment as the contemplative ability of the silent spectator who is not needed in public. This article argues against this interpretation of Arendt’s approach to the judging spectator, and deals with the fact that Arendt gives the judging spectator the functions of the political narrator. The judging spectator cannot be interpreted only as a contemplative subject in her theory. Certainly, in Arendt’s later texts, judgment is seen as an ability to evaluate the political content not so much of one’s own actions, but the actions of the participants of common life. However, the spectator as the author of judgment cannot be silent since they are included in the political world. This article reveals Arendt’s understanding of the judging spectator in connection to her practical approach to judgment. In the results of the research, it can be said that the judging spectator can be interpreted as a participant of the common political world because speech is needed. While analyzing Arendt’s concept of speech as a part of her action theory, it is possible to state that the judging spectator is the narrator. This person is not the one who contemplates, but is the one who publicly speaks about the actions, and thus forms the political space.

O brilho distante de um pequeno cometa: A cena interior, de Marcel Cohen / The Distant Glow of a Small Comet: Sur la Scène Intérieur, by Marcel Cohen
Authors: Rodrigues Breno Fonseca , Nascimento Lyslei De Souza
Published: October 2019

Resumo: Em Passagens, Walter Benjamin escreve: “O rastro é a aparição de uma proximidade, por mais longínquo que esteja aquilo que o deixou”. Marcel Cohen tinha cinco anos quando, entre 1943 e 1944, sua família foi levada para Auschwitz, apenas a esposa de um tio sobreviveu. Em A cena interior, livro publicado orginalmente em 2013, ele narra, a partir de rastros e vestígios de memória, o que recorda e o que pôde saber a respeito de seus pais, sua irmã, seus avós paternos, dois tios e uma tia-avó. Este artigo analisa essa narração memorialística de Cohen. Busca-se, à luz do pensamento de Benjamin, refletir sobre o processo de reconstrução do passado empreendido pelo escritor, as instabilidades inerentes ao testemunho, ao jogo da ficção e da memória que abarca a escrita da história familiar.Palavras-chave: memória; testemunho; Shoah.Abstract: In Das Passagen-Werk, Walter Benjamin writes: “The trace is the appearance of proximity, no matter how distant what left it may be”. Marcel Cohen was five years old when, between 1943 and 1944, his family was taken to Auschwitz and only the wife of an uncle survived. In Sur la scène intérieur, book originally published in 2013, he narrates, from traces and vestiges from memory, what he remembers and is able to know about his parents, sister, paternal grandparents, two uncles and a great aunt. This paper analyses Cohen’s memoralistic narration. It seeks, in the light of Benjamin’s thoughts, to reflect about the reconstruction process of the past undertaken by the writer, the inherent instabilities in testimony, to the game of fiction and memory that involves the writing of the family story.Keywords: memory; testimony; Shoah.

Published: October 2019

Background: Plasmodium falciparum is the protozoan parasite which causes malignant malaria of medical concern. Prime candidates for recombinant vaccine development are asexual stage antigens of P. falciparum, for example, merozoite surface proteins (MSP1 and MSP2) not given satisfactory results to date. In this study, the 19kDa C-terminal of MSP1, a vaccine candidate was purified in its native form in the ring stage, and its glycoproteins studied.
Methods: The study was carried out at the Biochemistry Department of Pasteur Institute of Iran in the years 2015–2016. Large scale culture of P. falciparum was performed in vitro with 80% ring stage parasitemia. Isopycnic ultracentrifuga­tion with 36% sucrose and analytical SDS-PAGE on the supernatant and precipitate performed, and the 19kDa antigen was obtained by cutting it from strips of preparative SDS gels. Purified protein was concentrated and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, using antibodies raised to recombinant C-terminal MSP1.
Results: The purified protein gave a single band of 19kDa antigen as shown by silver staining of SDS-PAGE and a sin­gle bond in immunoblotting. Bioinformatics also confirmed the likelihood of the presence of glycans on the antigen.
Conclusion: The presence of N and O-glycoproteins were detected by Q proteome kit. This work was done on the ring stage, and earlier workers confirmed the presence of glycoproteins on MSP1 in the other stages. This glycosylation is present in all stages, and maybe incomplete protection elicited by recombinant MSP1 antigens is due to lack of N and O-glycoproteins.

Financial Market Development and Income Distribution Inequality in the Emerging Markets
Authors: Xi Dingli
Published: October 2019

The disruptive effects of the subprime financial crisis have raised new global concerns toward the increasing income distribution inequality. Nowadays, it has become one of the mainstays of public and scientific discourse around the world. Theoretical financial Kuznets curve suggests that the relationship between financial market development and income distribution inequality follows an inverted U-shaped pattern. However, current literature failed to support this hypothesis. The expansion of the financial market truly provides more relative opportunities for the poor which benefits the equalization. But those advantage opportunities are likely to be captured by some specific groups instead of all population. The majority literature on this academic field focus on developed countries with cross-sectional and panel data analysis that providing controversial results. They emphasize the financial development as a consequence of economic growth without deep analysis of the financial market development as an independent entity in determining the inequality. This study proposes to use a more comprehensive and rigorous method to identify the direct relationship between financial market development and income distribution inequality in 10 most typical emerging markets. Both short-run and long-run impacts of financial market development on income distribution inequality are examined and defined by utilizing time-series data and error-correction modelling technique. By providing a better understanding of the relationship, the findings of the research would make contributions to financial market policy adjustments in developing countries.

Linearized Stability of Bardeen de-Sitter Thin-Shell Wormholes
Authors: Alshal Hassan
Published: October 2019

A thin-shell wormhole is crafted by the cut-and-paste method of two Bardeen de-Sitter black holes using Darmois-Israel formalism. Energy conditions are considered for different values of magnetic charge while both mass and cosmological constant are fixed. The attractive and repulsive characteristics of the throat of the thin-shell wormhole are also examined through the radial acceleration. Dynamics and stability of the wormhole are studied around the static solutions of the linearized radial perturbations at the throat of the wormhole. The regions of stability are determined by checking out the condition of concavity of the potential as a function in the throat radius for different values of magnetic charges.
Factors Affecting Bulblet Growth of Lilium sp. – A Timeline for Bulblet to Bulb Production Via in Vitro vs Conventional Pathway
Authors: Islam Md. Saiful , Shimasaki Kazuhiko
Published: October 2019

Lily–belong to the genus Lilium is one of the top cut flowers worldwide. Production and propagation of bulblets in vitro is an important approach for high-volume production, but not proved satisfactory. Hence, the aim of this study was to describe and compare the performances of morphological characteristics of the lily bulb in vivo produced by in vitro and conventional culture method and compare the production timelines in vitro vs conventional culture method. In results, it seems clear that in vitro re-culture of lily bulblet was able to be sustained and maintained its growth and so, ontogenic development after their performance in soil. Our results demonstrate that in the conventional pathway, the course of bulblet growth to bulb and ontogenic development took 3–4 growing seasons to reach the adult flowering phase. On the other hand, along with the re-culture in vitro, the course of bulb growth and ontogenic development took 1–2 growing seasons to reach the adult flowering phase because of the increasing initial bulb size and advancement of ontogenic development. Other than bulblet production through bulb scale explant, this study represents the first report on the method of in vitro bulb production of lily through re-culture by in vitro pathway with a comparison of the timelines and ontogenic development obtained from in vitro versus conventional pathway.

Authors: Fürtauer Lisa , Weiszmann Jakob , Weckwerth Wolfram , Nägele Thomas
Published: October 2019

Plants have evolved tightly regulated strategies to adapt and acclimate to a changing environment to ensure their survival. Various environmental factors affect plant distribution, growth and yield. Low temperature belongs to those abiotic factors which significantly constrain range boundaries of plant species. Exposing plants to low but non-freezing temperature induces a multigenic processes termed cold acclimation, which finally results in an increased freezing tolerance. Cold acclimation comprises reprogramming of the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome and affects communication and signaling between subcellular organelles. Reprogramming of the central carbohydrate metabolism plays a key role in cold acclimation. This review summarizes current knowledge about the role of carbohydrate metabolism in plant cold acclimation. A focus is laid on subcellular metabolic reprogramming, its thermodynamic constraints under low temperature and mathematical modelling of metabolism.

Published: October 2019

Conventional fluorescent lamps used in tissue culture are costly light sources showing excessive wavelength emission-bandwidth that must be replaced by alternative, less costly and much lower power-consuming energy sources. The use of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is the best option due to their potential role as elicitors of secondary metabolite production in many plant models. Gynura procumbens(G. procumbens) is widely used for treating various diseases. Here, leaf explants were cultivated in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L of NAA and 2.0 mg/L of BAP for 30 days under white, blue, and red LEDs. Secondary metabolites were analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS. Blue LEDs elicited the highest antioxidant activity, total flavonoid, and phenolic content. Furthermore, the content of cyanidin-monoglucosides increased significantly increased under blue light.
Loss of Total Phenol in Two Shrub Leaf Litter Species: The Dual Role of Alpine Forest Gap Disturbance
Authors: He Wei , Yang Wanqin
Published: October 2019

Alpine forest gaps can distribute snowfall, solar radiation and rainfall, thus inducing a heterogeneous hydrothermal microenvironment between the inside and outside areas of forest gaps. Additionally, the characteristics of the heterogeneous microenvironment could vary greatly across the gap location properties during winter and the growing season. To determine the response of total phenol loss (TPL) from the litter to alpine forest gap disturbance during decomposition, we conducted a field litterbag experiment within a representative fir (Abies faxoniana Rehd.) forest based on the gap location properties. The TPL and abundances of fungi and bacteria from two typical shrub species (willow, Salix paraplesia Schneid., and bamboo, Fargesia nitida (Mitford) Keng f.) were measured during the following periods over two years: snow formation (SF), snow cover (SC) snow melting (ST), the early growing season (EG) and the later growing season (LG). At the end of the study, we found that the snow cover depth, frequencies of the freeze-thaw cycle and the fungal copy g-1 to bacterial copy g-1 ratio had significant effects on the litter TPL. The abundances of fungi and bacteria decreased from the gap center to the closed canopy during the two SF, SC, ST and LG periods and reversed during the two EG periods. The TPL closely followed the same trend as the microbial abundance during the first year of incubation. In addition, both species had larger TPLs in the gap center during the first winter, first year and entire two years. These findings suggest that alpine forest gap formation accelerates litter TPL and plays a dual role during specific critical periods by distributing abiotic and biotic factors directly and indirectly. In conclusion, reduced snow cover depth and duration during winter warming under current climate change scenarios or as gaps vanish may slow litter TPL in alpine biomes.

Published: October 2019

The aim of this research was to know the effect of supplemented fermented purslane flour (FPF) in diet on the chemical quality, and microbiology of broiler chicken meat. One hundred DOC were used in this research. This research used a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were K0 = commercial diet without FPF, K1 = commercial diet + 2.5% FPF, K2 = commercial diet + 5% FPF, K3 = commercial diet + 7.5% FPF, and K4 = commercial diet + 10% FPF. The variables studied were water content, protein content, and cholesterol levels of meat and contamination of Salmonella sp. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the supplemented fermented purslane flour in diet significantly affected the water content and protein content of meat, but it did not significantly affect the cholesterol meat levels and contamination of Salmonella sp. It was concluded that the supplemented of fermented purslane flour in broiler chickens with a level of 10% was the best level. At this level, chicken meat is produced with the lowest water content while the highest protein content.

Published: October 2019

This study was conducted to examine the effect of Hemicell® addition on diets containing different levels of crude fiber on performance and egg quality of laying hens. A total of 72 laying hens aged 21 weeks were randomly divided into 18 experimental units. A completely randomized design with factorial design 2×3 and 3 replications was employed in this study. Factor A was crude fiber level (5% and 8%) and factor B was the level of Hemicell®(0, 100x103 and 200x103 IU/kg ration).  Results showed that crude fiber significantly (P<0.01) increased feed consumption and decreased the performance of laying hens. The addition of Hemicell®in diets significantly (P<0.01) decreased feed consumption and increased the performance of laying hens. Hemicell®addition (100 IU) to a diet containing 8% crude fiber significantly (P<0.05) affected egg mass, feed conversion ratio, egg yolk score and egg weight. It can be concluded that diet with 8% crude fiber added with Hemicell® (100 IU) could increase egg mass, feed conversion ratio, egg weight and yolk color score.

Published: October 2019

Case:

We report the case of an active 8-year-old patient with a 2-year history of groin and thigh pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the hip demonstrated a paralabral cyst arising from a superior labral tear. Arthroscopic labral repair and decompression of the cyst were performed, and the patient remains asymptomatic at 2-year follow-up.

Conclusions:

Acetabular labral tears with concomitant paralabral cysts have been described in the literature in the adult population and successfully treated arthroscopically. We propose that surgeons should be aware of this as a cause for undiagnosed groin and thigh pain in the pediatric population and that arthroscopic management is successful.

Com a inovação tecnológica, atualmente as pessoas estão deixando de frequentar bibliotecas e ler livros regularmente. Acabam utilizando sistemas de busca online em seus celulares, computadores, notebooks, tablets, etc. E muitas vezes não se aprofundam em um determinado assunto e adquirem conhecimentos superficiais. Ainda assim, apesar dos grandes avanços tecnológicos nas áreas de comunicação, a leitura continua sendo uma grande influenciadora no processo de transmissão ou aquisição de cultura de um indivíduo. (ANDRADE, 2010, p.2)Aprender a ler não é uma tarefa tão simples, pois exige uma postura crítica, sistemática, uma disciplina intelectual por parte do leitor, e esses requisitos básicos só podem ser adquiridos por meio da prática. A leitura é um processo de decodificação, onde ao ler o texto, o decodificador, no caso, qualquer pessoa  alfabetizada, entende os sinais gráficos que compreendem as letras, que formam palavras. Após isso, possui a intelecção, que pode ser compreendido como entender o sentido do texto. E por último, a interpretação do texto, que caracteriza como “leitura do mundo”. (ANDRADE, 2010, p.4)As famílias, professores, amigos entre outros indivíduos, que fazem parte desse grupo social a qual a pessoa vive, devem ajudar e fortalecer o incentivo à leitura.Mostrar que a leitura e o estudo são importantes e podem ser muito prazerosos aos jovens. Sob esta perspectiva, este projeto pretende verificar quais são os hábitos literários de jovens regularmente matriculados em colégios e entender as discrepâncias, existentes ou não, entre faixas etárias.Para atender o objetivo geral, propõe-se como objetivos específicos: verificar de onde vem o hábito literário dos jovens; verificar que pessoas próximas destes jovens atuam como incentivadoras da leitura; apurar a quantidade de livros lidos pelos jovens; e comparar os hábitos de leitura entre as diferentes faixas etárias.

Published: October 2019

Objective: The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of all available randomized controlled trials at 2-years minimum follow-up, to compare the clinical outcomes and radiological re-tear rates between single-row (SR) and double-row (DR) fixation. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases search were performed for meta-analysis. Randomized controlled trials at 2-years minimum follow-up which comparing clinical outcomes and radiological re-tear rates between single-row and double-row fixation for rotator cuff repair. Clinical outcomes included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES), University of California–Los Angeles score (UCLA), and Constant score; the radiological re-tear rate was assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)or Ultrasonic (US). Two trained authors extracted data from all included articles, and if there are different opinions, the final decision would be made by the senior professor after reviewed the article.Results: Six Level Ⅰ articles and two Level Ⅱ articles were included. In clinical outcomes, ASES, Constant score and forward flexion range of motion (ROM) showed no statistically significant difference between DR fixation and SR fixation technique at 2-years follow-up (P=0.61, P=0.19, P=0.17). UCLA score and internal rotation ROM were significantly better in DR group (P=0.005, P=0.001). DR repair showed less overall re-tear and partial re-tear rate and more intact rotator cuff than SR repair in radiological outcomes after 2-years follow-up (P=0.0002, P=0.02, P=0.0003).Conclusion: The best current available evidence suggest that DR fixation technique have similar outcomes in ASES, Constant score and forward flexion ROM with SR fixation. However, DR group show higher UCLA score, greater internal rotation ROM and better radiological outcomes (include less overall re-tear and partial re-tear rate and more intact rotator cuff) than SR group after 2-years follow-up.Level of Evidence: Level Ⅱ, meta-analysis

Published: October 2019

Background Diagnosis of childhood TB (tuberculosis) is challenging because its symptoms resemble other diseases, very few (less than five) mycobacteria are capable of causing the disease and children do not or rarely expectorate. These peculiar attributes make childhood TB different from adult TB but it is still not being dealt differently from adult TB .Despite evidences from national, international data and WHO recommendation for use of Gene expert/TB/RIF assay, decision to start the treatment is based mostly on Chest X ray, tuberculin skin test, history of contact and clinical sign and symptoms .Therefore, we planned this study to find best available choices of diagnostic tests for early case detection of childhood TB particularly MDR TB Methods: This comparative analytical study of 15 months was done at PHRC, SRCCH, NICH and Provincial TB Lab Ojha Institute of chest diseases Karachi. Our study population comprised of 143 probable cases of pulmonary TB below the age of 15 years. After taking written consent from parent/guardian, a Performa was filled with contact no, address, clinical history, scoring chart and diagnostic tests suggested by attending clinician. ZN staining for smear microscopy GeneXpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rifampicin (Xpert MTB/RIF) assay, Culture on Lowenstein–Jensen (L.J) media and Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) was done for every sample according to standard operating procedures of WHO and results were entered and analyzed on SPSS statistical package for social sciences. Results Out of 143 samples 7 (5%) were positive for MTB via Xpert MTB/RIF assay while 3(2.09) were positive through AFB microscopy, LJ culture and MGIT. When compared with gold standard blood culture sensitivity and negative predictive value of Xpert MTB/RIF were 100% and 97.14% while specificity and positive predictive value were 97.14% and 43% respectively. Conclusion Xpert MTB/RIF is a rapid test that can aid in timely diagnosis of peds TB, facilitating the timely treatment. However, specificity and PPV need to be taken into account. Key words: AFB microscopy, LJ and MGIT, Xpert MTB/RIF, Peds TB.

Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE: Despite the availability of better biomarkers, basal day 3 follicle-stimulating hormone is widely available and often used as the first-line test in ovarian reserve evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of cycles with elevated (>12 IU/mL) basal follicle-stimulating hormone values. STUDY DESIGN: Cycles with basal day 3 follicle-stimulating hormone values >12 IU/mL were divided into four cohorts according to follicle-stimulating hormone levels: group I, follicle-stimulating hormone between 12-15 IU/m, group II between 15-20 IU/mL, group III between 20-25 IU/mL and group IV >25 IU/mL. Both demographic characteristics and controlled ovarian stimulation parameters were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Total antral follicle count was significantly higher in group I compared to the other three groups (p=0.001). Number of follicles ≥17 mm on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day, number of retrieved oocytes, mature oocytes and fertilized oocytes were significantly higher in group I compared to the other groups (p=0.003, p=0.001, p=0.001, and p=0.001, respectively). No significant difference was found between groups regarding cancellation rates. The rate of embryo transfer per started cycle was significantly higher in group I compared to group III and group IV (p=0.001). Clinical pregnancy rates per embryo transfer were comparable among the groups.CONCLUSION: Despite the retrieval of lower quantities of oocytes, reasonable pregnancy rates could be achieved if embryo transfer was performed in cycles with follicle-stimulating hormone values over 12 IU/mL.
Future streamflow assessment in the Haihe River basin located in northern China using a regionalized variable infiltration capacity model based on 18 CMIP5 GCMs

Published: October 2019

The impact of future climate change on streamflow is assessed in the Haihe River basin (HRB) by the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model, using the outputs from 18 general circulation models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Three Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios have been used, including RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5. Based on the model parameters calibration in six catchments in the HRB and parameter regionalization, the hydrological simulation for the whole HRB denotes good performance of the VIC model. Taking the period 1961–1990 as a baseline period, the outputs from the GCMs indicate that the HRB will become warmer and wetter in the 21st century (2010–2099). There might be an increasing trend for the streamflow in the HRB under future climate change scenarios. For example, in the 2050s (2040–2069), the streamflow may increase by 12%, 28%, and 24% under the RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios, respectively. Monthly, the highest and lowest increase in streamflow is in dry and wet seasons, respectively. Spatially, the increasing trend for streamflow in the north HRB is higher than that in the south HRB. The uncertainty from the GCMs and climatic scenarios should be further focused.

The paper reflects the adequacy of people, who became the chief executioners of the Third Reich. The author is committed to identify the “cause of the Nazi disease”. The International Military Tribunal has become a colossal world event heralding a new era of international cooperation. The scale of the crime was unprecedented. The multivolume documentary evidence of the Nazis’ crimes stirred up tremendous confusion among seasoned lawyers. Since the legal proceedings of such magnitude were unprecedented in the world, many strategic and organizational problems had to be tackled. None of the defendants was eager with repentance. Inquired by the presiding judge, all Nazi leaders pleaded not guilty.
Program for automatic clustering of numerous (over 1000) images of pollen grains obtained using an optical microscope in Python, for learning the LeNet convolutional neural network

Рассматривается способ сортировки изображений пыльцевых зерен на этапе предобработки для формирования выборки для обучения сверточной нейронной сети LeNet. На python разработана программа кадрирования изображения пыльцы, полученного с помощью оптического микроскопа, ImageSplitter, с помощью которой было кадрировано изображение полифлорного меда на 1131 изображение размером 128 ´ 128 пикселей при шаге скользящего окна 32 пикселя. На python разработана программа первичной классификации, позволяющая отсортировывать пустые изображения от непустых посредством задачи условий и интервалов степени заполненности черным. Проведено исследование на возможность сортировки непустых изображений на три класса по проценту заполненности черным. Вычисляется доля черных точек среди всех Perimeter total (т. е. критерий занятой зерном площади кадра), доля черных точек среди точек на границах – критерий занятого зерном периметра кадра – Perimeter black и в процентном соотношении Perimeter percentage. Осуществлялась инвертированная пороговая бинаризация  для выделения объектов. Были получены следующие результаты: в промежутке от 0 до 30 программа не вывела никаких изображений, т. е. папка output_result_0-30 оказалась пустой; в промежутке от 31–60 программа классифицировала 4 изображения, т. е. в папке output_result_31-60 оказалось 4 изображения; в промежутке 61–99 программа классифицировала 130 изображений.
Сейсмостойкие конструкции крупнопанельных зданий
Authors: Belash Tatyana , Zenchenkova Diana
Published: October 2019

В статье рассматривается опыт применения крупнопа­нельных зданий в сейсмических районах. Приводится анализ причин, по которым такой тип зданий является одним из наи­более перспективных конструктивных систем в этих районах строительства. Отмечается, что среди крупнопанельных зда­ний наиболее предпочтительным вариантом конструктивного решения являются здания с узким шагом поперечных несущих стен, который позволяет создать жёсткую пространственную систему здания. Освящаются вопросы повышения сейсмо­стойкости крупнопанельных зданий. Эффективность работы крупнопанельных зданий при сейсмических воздействиях различного частотного состава можно существенно повысить путём устройства в фундаментной части специальных средств сейсмозащиты в виде сейсмоизоляции и сейсмогашения. При­ведены примеры реализации различных систем сейсмозащи­ты в конструкциях крупнопанельных зданий различных серий. Особое внимание уделено конструктивным решениям 122-ой серии, которая получила название «Крупнопанельные здания с "сухими" стыками». Представлены результаты изучения и уточнения моделей крупнопанельных зданий этой серии, а также методов их расчётов, что имеет большое практическое значение. Дан анализ расчётно-теоретических исследований крупнопанельных зданий с «сухими» стыками, который под­твердил их высокую сейсмостойкость. Показано, что при­менение дополнительных элементов сухого трения в стыках панелей позволяет на 30% снизить сейсмические нагрузки на здания и, соответственно, усилия в сборных элементах крупнопанельного здания. При этом резерв несущей способ­ности «сухих» горизонтальных стыков обеспечивается за счёт упругопластических свойств применяемых в них прокладок.
Историко-культурное наследие и развитие исторического поселения город Томск
Authors: Romanova Larisa
Published: October 2019

В статье освещается актуальная для России проблема сохранения и развития исторических поселений на примере города Томска - исторического поселения федерального значения. Особое внимание в публикации уделяется вопро­су регионального своеобразия, необходимости и значимости его сохранения для развития старинного сибирского города, различным аспектам такого подхода. Объектом исследования является фрагмент исторического центра Томска - террито­рия, связанная с местом рождения города, так называемый музеефицированный комплекс «Старый Томск». Предмет исследования - историко-культурный потенциал этой уни­кальной территории и возможности его использования. На основании значительного объёма научных исследований и проектных решений, выполненных автором и под его ру­ководством, предлагается вариант сохранения и развития территории с учётом ценности и степени сохранности её отдельных фрагментов. Научно-обоснованное приспособле­ние исторической застройки рассматривается в статье как действенный механизм не только сохранения, но и развития этой исторической территории, формирующей архитектурно­художественное своеобразия города.

В заключение статьи внимание акцентируется на взаимо­связи между отношением к историко-культурному наследию и уровнем национальной безопасности, научно-обоснованным использованием наследия и решением ряда первостепенных задач, стоящих перед нашим государством. Делается вывод, что к уникальному явлению мировой культуры относится не только деревянная застройка российских городов второй половины XIX - начала XX столетия, но и целостная средовая система, представленная деревянной застройкой этого периода и сохранившаяся в Томске. Этим обусловлена высо­кая степень нашей ответственности за её сохранение перед соотечественниками и мировым сообществом.
Об опыте разработки «Градостроительного атласа России» и современном использовании его результатов
Authors: Belyaeva Elena
Published: October 2019

В 1991-1994 годах по заданию Минстроя России «Ин­ститут геобиосферных исследований РАЕН» разрабатывал «Градостроительный атлас России» (М 1:8 000 000). В статье с точки зрения научной значимости и возможности современ­ного использования дана оценка выполненных работ. Целью разработки атласа являлось обобщение самой современной на тот период информации о территории России, её оценки с позиций расселения и градостроительства, а задачами - систематизация, анализ и прогноз. Атлас был призван стать символом научного престижа отрасли, предназначался для широкого применения в проектировании, управлении, при обучении специалистов градостроительных специальностей.

Работа выполнялась в начале «перестройки», в пери­од максимальной открытости информации, интенсивного межотраслевого сотрудничества министерств, ведомств, специалистов различных областей науки, заинтересованных в комплексной оценке территорий страны, её регионов и городов. Это было предпосылкой новизны и уникальности полученных результатов.

В работе над «Градостроительным атласом России» приняли участие ведущие специалисты в области градостроительства, географии, экологии, геологии, экономики и других научных дисциплин. На начальном этапе были разработаны методология, методика, структура, содержание атласа и ряда тематических карт, их предполагалось около 50. К концу 1993 года было раз­работано 15 карт, пробным тиражом изданы две - посвящённые наиболее актуальным проблемам того времени («Радиационная обстановка России» и «Транспорт России. Основные комму­никации»). Несмотря на прекрасные отзывы специалистов и организаций в период кризиса в 1994 году работы были при­остановлены и впоследствии не возобновлялись.

Сегодня, когда в соответствии с «майскими» указами Президента России В.В.Путина наступило время активных действий в сфере обоснований стратегического планирования пространственного развития и практического решения акту­альных задач расселения и градостроительства, целесообразно использовать наработки «Градостроительного атласа России», в том числе в области методологии. Методология создания атласа в определённой степени является прообразом формирования будущих отраслевых информационных систем, использующих методы электронного картографирования.

Значительная часть разработанных карт не потеряла своей актуальности или требует небольшой актуализации, после чего они смогут стать составной частью аналитической базы пространственного развития.
