Cytotaxonomy and molecular phylogeny of the genus Cerapanorpa Gao, Ma & Hua, 2016 (Mecoptera: Panorpidae)
Authors: Miao Ying , Ma Na , Hua Bao-Zhen
Published: June 2017

The species of the genus Cerapanorpa Gao, Ma & Hua, 2016 (Mecoptera: Panorpidae) are characterized mainly by the presence of a finger-like anal horn on tergum VI of males and are distributed in the Oriental and eastern Palearctic regions. Herein, we investigated the pachytene banding patterns and reconstructed the Bayesian time-calibrated tree of some species of Cerapanorpa. All species examined display achiasmate meiosis and the same meiformula 2n = 42 + X0, reconfirming the monophyly of Cerapanorpa. The great variations in the size and number of heterochromatic bands suggest that they are reliable traits for species delimitation in Cerapanorpa. The existence of natural C-banding polymorphism indicates that chromosomal rearrangements likely have contributed to the diversification of chromosomal bands in Cerapanorpa. The closely related species of Cerapanorpa are reconfirmed to be evolutionarily independent entities by cytogenetic and molecular data. The divergence time estimated from the BEAST analysis shows that Cerapanorpa likely originated in the period from the Rupelian (30.7 Ma) to the Burdigalian (19.9 Ma), and most diversification occurred from the Burdigalian to the Piacenzian (17.4–2.8 Ma) in the Neogene. Our data suggest that chromosome rearrangements likely play a significant role in the speciation of Cerapanorpa.

Detection of buckminsterfullerene emission in the diffuse interstellar medium
Authors: Berné O. , Cox N. L. J. , Mulas G. , Joblin C.
Published: June 2017

Emission of fullerenes in their infrared vibrational bands has been detected in space near hot stars. The proposed attribution of the diffuse interstellar bands at 9577 and 9632 Å to electronic transitions of the buckminsterfullerene cation (i.e. C60+) was recently supported by new laboratory data, confirming the presence of this species in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). In this Letter, we present the detection, also in the diffuse ISM, of the 17.4 and 18.9 μm emission bands commonly attributed to vibrational bands of neutral C60 . According to classical models that compute the charge state of large molecules in space, C60 is expected to be mostly neutral in the diffuse ISM. This is in agreement with the abundances of diffuse C60 we derive here from observations.

Authors: Suvorova Larisa , Baibakova Tatyana , Pestova Irina
Published: June 2017

In the article the authors review approaches to evaluating the efficiency of the integrated structures in industry in order to improve the methodology of this evaluation. In contrast to existing indicators for evaluating the efficiency, which characterize the performance of some aspects of the integrated structures activities, the authors propose the methodology based on calculating and comparing general and individual efficiency indicators of current (operating), financial and investing activities on the integrated structure as a whole. These indicators are presented in the form of the coefficients. By means of mathematical analysis, the authors have found out the strong and direct correlation among the given indicators, which confirms the objectivity of choosing the indicators. The received results of evaluating the efficiency of functioning of the integrated structures are proposed for use in the developed algorithm of making managerial decisions. The validity of the developed methodology is shown on the example of the integrated structure of the joint-stock company “Kirov Dairy Plant”.

Authors: Suvorova L.A. , Zaushitsyna L.L.
Published: June 2017

The cluster approach is considered by the authors as the tool to ensure the accelerated development of the country’s industrial complex. In the article the authors examine the problem of forming the model of the cluster development in high-tech sectors of industry and the methods for evaluating its economic effectiveness. Unlike traditional approaches, the authors of the article identify a cluster unit as the main structural element of the development model of the innovative industrial cluster. They think that a cluster unit is one member of the cluster (i.e.one enterprise). This point of view is differed from modern scientists` opinion, who view a cluster unit as the complex of enterprises operating within cluster units. The purpose of the study was the development and the economic evaluation of the model of the cluster development. In this research the authors examined the cluster of industrial biotechnologies. They have developed and proposed the model of the development of the cluster of industrial biotechnologies: the Non-commercial partnership (NP) “The biotechnology cluster of the Kirov region”. This model takes into account the peculiarities of the innovative production. The authors have calculated the absolute and relative effect from clustering taking into account the effectiveness and profitability indicators of the cluster units activities within the cluster in question and the evaluation of the project activity of the cluster. Thus the authors have proved the economic effectiveness of the proposed model of the cluster development. The received research results allow us to conclude that the designed model of the development of the NP “The biotechnology cluster of the Kirov region” provides a steady growth trend of positive economic effect from the corporate activities of the enterprises within the cluster and increase in the region’s competitiveness in the production of high-tech industrial products.

Presence of different types of uncertainty in the complex hierarchical system of industrial enterprises’ logistical management gives grounds for analysis support of management solutions based on the fuzzy set theory. Use of the fuzzy set theory allows to link together and adequately consider all the necessary heterogeneous information. In this regard, information on functioning of the logistical system must be presented in a specific form as membership functions. It is justified in the article that the tools of the fuzzy set theory can be applied for description of parameters of the industrial enterprises’ logistical system and justification of decision-taking in the sphere of logistical management. Within the framework of the system of information and analysis support of industrial enterprises’ logistical management it is proposed to use tools of problem “determination of the fuzzy set image” and its variety – “definition of the sub direct fuzzy set image” in order to choose the best variant of combination of key efficiency indicators of logistical management complying with the present complex of criteria. Application of the fuzzy set theory also allows to determine fuzzy values of factors, as a result of which the enterprise’s logistical system has obtained the existing or objective set of features. For analysis of factors influencing the key efficiency indicators of the industrial enterprise’s logistical management it is proposed to use tools of problem “definition of the fuzzy set pre-image at a fuzzy binary relation”.

Published: June 2017

At present, the success of economic institution transformations, as well as creating an efficient economic system with a fundamental new nature of corporate relationships are impossible without the statistical recording of factors contributing to the efficiency of merger and acquisition transactions in the Russian industry. The paper proposes a method for analyzing the efficiency of merger and acquisition transactions of enterprises in the industrial sector of the Russian economy, based on simulation methods. The methodical approach developed to analyze the efficiency of the integration transactions of Russian industrial companies allows one to consider individual preferences of investors, as well as to give a complex statistical evaluation of the strategic economic benefits from M&A transactions. This method enables to evaluate the probability and stability of the synergistic effect values within the increase of competitiveness of Russian industrial enterprises on the domestic and foreign markets.

Published: June 2017

In the process of market reforms of the Russian machine-building complex several distinct periods can be revealed. In this article the authors define periods of mass disintegration and spontaneous integration (since the beginning of the reforms until the financial crisis of 1996), post-crisis stabilization, directional specialization (2000-2008) and evolutionary development (since 2010). The economic consequences of the enterprises mergers and divisions are shown on the example of machine-building enterprises of the Middle Urals. The aim of this study is to substantiate the methodical approach to the selection of the optimal organizational structure for the machine-building business. The necessity of taking into account the extent of the personnel diversification and the production volume has been revealed for the optimum organizational structure determination in the machine-building associations. The authors have analyzed sales profitability of the 2745 machine-building enterprises, depending on the production scale and industry sector. The factors affecting the development of cooperative ties and outsourcing have been defined. The authors have made a conclusion that it is necessary to form technological chains as a new kind of business associations.

IgE und Anti-IgE bei Asthma: eine wechselvolle Geschichte
Authors: Lommatzsch M. , Geißler K. , Bergmann K.-C. , Virchow J.
Published: June 2017

Es war ein langer und verschlungener Weg, der zur Entdeckung von Immunglobulin E (IgE) in den Jahren 1966 und 1967 führte. Wir befinden uns aktuell auf einem langen und verschlungenen Weg, um die immunologische Basis der klinischen Wirkung des Anti-IgE-Antikörpers Omalizumab bei Asthma zu begreifen. Möglicherweise profitieren beim Asthma (ähnlich wie bei der chronisch spontanen Urtikaria) Patienten auf unterschiedliche immunologische Art und Weise von einer Omalizumab-Therapie. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die Historie der IgE-Entdeckung und die aktuellen Konzepte der Anti-IgE-Therapie bei Asthma.
Epilepsiechirurgie bei Kindern und Jugendlichen
Authors: Ramantani Georgia , Zentner Josef
Published: June 2017

Die Epilepsiechirurgie hat sich in den letzten Jahren als eine besonders wirksame Behandlungsoption bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit pharmakoresistenten strukturellen Epilepsien etabliert. Dank der fortschreitenden Entwicklungen in der Neurochirurgie, Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin sind epilepsiechirurgische Eingriffe auch bei Säuglingen möglich und können hervorragende Ergebnisse liefern, vergleichbar mit den Ergebnissen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Spätestens bei nachgewiesener Pharmakoresistenz sollte bei Kindern mit strukturellen Epilepsien die Möglichkeit eines epilepsiechirurgischen Eingriffes erwogen und die entsprechende prächirurgische Diagnostik in einem Epilepsiezentrum mit pädiatrischer Expertise eingeleitet werden. Fokale kortikale Dysplasien und glioneuronale Tumore sind die häufigsten Ätiologien bei pädiatrischen Patienten, die epilepsiechirurgisch versorgt werden; in beiden Fällen hängt die postoperative Anfallsfreiheit von der Vollständigkeit der Resektion ab. Im Kindesalter dominieren die multilobären und hemisphärischen Eingriffe, im Gegensatz zu den Erwachsenenkohorten mit vorwiegend resektiven Eingriffen im Bereich des Temporallappens und nur wenigen extratemporalen und hemisphärischen Eingriffen. Die Ausdehnung der Eingriffe nimmt mit dem Alter der epilepsiechirurgischen Kandidaten ab. Kleinere Kinder benötigen oft größere Resektionen, können jedoch mögliche neurologische Defizite aufgrund der funktionellen Plastizität in der Regel gut kompensieren. Die postoperative Anfallsfreiheit hängt vom Epilepsiesyndrom, der zugrunde liegenden Ätiologie und der Abgrenzbarkeit des epileptogenen Areals ab. Zwei Drittel der Kinder bleiben im Langzeitverlauf nach einem epilepsiechirurgischen Eingriff anfallsfrei. Mit der Anfallskontrolle sind oftmals wesentliche Verbesserungen der Entwicklungsverläufe zu beobachten. Neben der Weiterentwicklung nicht-invasiver Methoden in der prächirurgischen Epilepsiediagnostik ist höchste Priorität, das Intervall zwischen Feststellung der Pharmakoresistenz, prächirurgischer Abklärung und epilepsiechirurgischer Behandlung bei geeigneten Kandidaten zu verkürzen. Multizentrische Studien mit längeren Beobachtungsintervallen sind dringend erforderlich, um die Prädiktoren der Anfallsfreiheit und der positiven psychomotorischen Entwicklung der Kinder zu identifizieren und eine verbesserte Kandidatenauswahl und Beratung der Patienten und deren Familien zu ermöglichen.
Die ärztliche Schweigepflicht – neue Grenzen nach dem Germanwings-Absturz
Authors: Oehler Tim
Published: June 2017

Das ärztliche Berufsgeheimnis zeigt Auflösungstendenzen. Einzelne große Katastrophen lassen den Ruf zur Systemänderung ertönen: Ärzte sollen vermehrt ihr Wissen über Patienten zur Gefahrverhinderung teilen. Diese ethisch begründete Forderung allein gibt dem Arzt keine Rechtfertigung zur „großzügigen Handhabe“ der Durchbrechung seines Arztgeheimnisses. Daher sollte bei einer staatsanwaltschaftlichen Praxisdurchsuchung der Behandler nur den Weg zur gesuchten Akte zeigen, diese jedoch beschlagnahmen lassen. Einzig ein strenger Umgang mit dem Arztgeheimnis bewahrt das unabdingbare Vertrauen gegenüber dem Arzt. Andernfalls pervertiert dieses zukünftig in ein Denunzianten-Arzt-Bild. Welches Vorgehen bei Krankheit einem Piloten zu empfehlen ist (z. B. arbeits- oder versicherungsrechtliches Vorgehen, Stichwort: Krankentagegeld-Versicherung), lässt sich in der Kürze nicht darstellen. Aber auch hier gilt: Keine Kommunikation mit dem Rechtsanwalt des Piloten ohne Entbindung von der Schweigepflicht.
Effects of aging time and annealing temperature on structural and optical properties of sol-gel ZnO thin films
Authors: Li Jitao , Yang Dingyu , Zhu Xinghua
Published: June 2017

The ZnO thin films have been prepared by sol-gel method at different annealing temperatures and aging time. The structural properties of ZnO thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and atomic force microscope (AFM) images. The results indicated that the film possess a hexagonal wurtzite structure with preferred orientation along the (002) direction. The crystalline quality of films improved with increasing post-annealing temperature, while gradually worsened with prolonging aging time. The optical properties of ZnO thin films were studied by the ultra-violet transmittance (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The variations of UV-Vis transmittance and energy gap accorded well with the tendency presented in XRD patterns and AFM images. The PL spectra appeared the apparent ultraviolet emission and visible emissions. As the annealing temperature increased, the ultraviolet and visible emissions of films enhanced and decreased respectively. However, as the sol aging time prolonged, the PL emission presented an opposite tendency.
