MODERN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGAL REGULATION OF THE LIMITS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Authors: Bolshakov Lev M.
Published: February 2023

This article studies the current state of freedom of speech and its limits, both in Russia and in the rest of the world. Despite the consolidation of elements of freedom of speech in international and national norms, current trends in its development raise many questions regarding the preservation of the previously established balance of freedom of speech and its restrictions, which makes this study relevant. Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify the conditions that contribute to these changes, to analyze modern patterns of development. In relation to freedom of speech, the author analyzes the influence of globalization and deglobalization processes, IT, media corporations, as well as elements of self-regulation of public structures on society and the state. The results reveal the changes in the implementation of freedom of speech without changing its legal consolidation, as well as the “generational gap” destabilizing society. The author assumes that the development of the law regarding the limits of freedom of speech will be influenced by the following factors: objectively increasing globalization and resistance to it from political elites; an increase in the influence of new media corporations and civil society, which will further exacerbate the established “generational gap”. This assumption relies on a sociological study conducted by the author on the topic “Freedom of Speech and Its Limits”, as well as an assessment of the results obtained and their comparison with the data of other researchers. This article continues the analysis of the contemporary understanding of freedom of speech and its limits within the framework of the integrative approach proposed by the author in his earlies publications. This approach helped in assessing the level of legal regulation of the limits of freedom of speech; in addition, it provides options for their change in the near future.

Authors: Savoskin Alexandr V. , Kuriatnikov Vitali V. , Meshcheryagina Veronika A.
Published: February 2023

Prior to the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, three types of courts could carry out normative control in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation: the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, constitutional (charter) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and courts of general jurisdiction. Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation led to amendments to the Federal Constitutional Law “On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation”. The constitutional (statutory) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation were abolished. The competence of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation to verify the normative acts of the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on complaints from citizens was expanded. The partial overlap of competence between the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, courts of general jurisdiction and constitutional (charter) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has disappeared. However, the issue of verification of normative acts arose if these acts were adopted by the authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation within the exclusive jurisdiction of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation (based on Article 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The Federal Constitutional Law “On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation” expressly prohibits verification of such normative acts by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Verification of such acts in courts of general jurisdiction is not formally prohibited by the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation, but contradicts the federal nature of the state and Article 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. They cannot invalidate contested acts, but they can use other mechanisms to ensure the regime of constitutional and legal legality in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Digital competencies of university transformation project teams from different countries
Authors: Apenko Svetlana N.
Published: February 2023

At the moment, many authors are exploring the issues of digitalization of universities and the need to develop digital competencies. The importance of transferring project activities to a digital platform is also actively discussed. However, the problem of the lack of sound digital competencies for university transformation project teams is relevant and has not yet been fully resolved in many countries. In accordance with this, the purpose of the research presented in the article was to identify a set of digital competencies that are most important for the implementation of transformation projects of universities in different countries. The scientific hypothesis tested in the course of the research sounds like an assumption that a certain set of digital competencies of team members is required for the success of transformation projects and their significance in the overall structure of competencies is high. The conclusion hypothesis was the statement that digital tools and the corresponding digital competencies are currently being used insufficiently by universities. The study was conducted in 2021-2022 in two stages using semi-structured interview and questionnaire methods. The questionnaire survey was conducted in four countries — Russia, Georgia, Serbia, and Iran. The survey covered 203 experts — representatives of universities in these countries with extensive experience in project activities. Interviews were conducted with 116 representatives of the administrative and managerial staff of five major universities in Russia. The main results were: firstly, the influence of competencies on the success of university transformation projects was confirmed; secondly, the high importance of digital competencies in the structure of other groups of competencies required for teams of university transformation projects is revealed; thirdly, facts are presented that indicate that digital competencies are used, but to an insufficiently high degree. These results have scientific novelty, as they contribute to the development of the concept of competence approach, clarifying digital competencies, as well as the development of project management, clarifying the requirements for the qualitative parameters of project teams in the context of digitalization of universities. The practical significance of the study is that universities receive information about the directions of development of digital competencies of transformation project teams.

Published: February 2023

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the search for environmentally friendly and biodegradable substances that prevent gas hydrate formation — hydrate inhibitors. Generally, the study of the influence of inhibitors on the hydrate growth rate and their thermodynamic equilibrium is carried out at positive temperatures in liquid aqueous solutions. Given the great risk of ice formation at industrial enterprises in the conditions of the Arctic region, this article displays the influence of inhibitors on the phase equilibrium conditions and the growth rate of methane hydrates in frozen water disperse systems (FWDS). Green water-soluble substances (biopolymers) such as sodium alginate and guar gum were used as hydrate inhibitors. To obtain kinetic and thermodynamic data on hydrate formation, all experiments were carried out in the temperature and pressure ranges from 272.3 to 275.3 K and from 2.5 to 5 MPa, respectively. The study has revealed that the addition of sodium alginate and guar gum in the FWDS led to reduction hydrate formation rate and water to methane hydrate conversion. Thus, over a period of 1000 minutes, the water conversion for samples with sodium alginate (0.15 wt.%) and guar gum (1 wt.%) was 0.13 and 0.15, which is significantly less than the value degree of transition for samples of dispersed ice without the addition of biopolymers (0.26). Additives of sodium alginate and guar gum were found to be a slight increase in the equilibrium conditions for methane hydrate formation.

Authors: Shanenkov Ivan I. , Astafiev Alexander V. , Gajdabrus Maria A. , Tabakaev Roman B.
Published: February 2023

In the process of biomass pyrolysis, its composition and structure changes significantly that results in changing the thermophysical characteristics of the carbon residue. Information about the elemental composition of raw materials and their characteristics in the process of thermal processing is necessary for optimizing technological parameters and understanding the flowing processes. The work purpose is to determine the thermophysical characteristics of flour-milling wastes during slow pyrolysis process. The thermophysical characteristics were determined by the flash laser method. In the course of the study, such methods as an experiment, differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy were used. It has been established that carbon residues obtained at temperatures not exceeding 300 ⁰С have a higher heat capacity than the original bran. A further increase in temperature leads to a sharp decrease in heat capacity, which is due to the decomposition of some fundamental components (hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin). The thermal conductivity of carbon residues (0.146-0.173 W/(m·K)) enhances with an increase in their production temperature. The values of the thermophysical characteristics for the initial bran and solid pyrolysis products were established that can be used to assess their effective values in relation to any fraction of wheat bran after determining the bulk density.
Applying proxy-modeling tools to estimate the effective injection factor for an oil field
Authors: Kosyakov Vitaly P. , Musakaev Emil N. , Gaydamak Inna V.
Published: February 2023

This work is devoted to the joint use of physically based proxy models of different levels of complexity to determine the effective injection ratio factor. Effective injection factor is a parameter that reflects the proportion of injected fluid that enters the reservoir and does useful work to maintain reservoir pressure and displace oil from the reservoir. The selection of the effective injection factor when using a full-scale hydrodynamic simulator is difficult due to the high requirements for computational and time resources. Therefore, to calculate this coefficient, it is justified to use the simplified proxy modeling approach, which allows to evaluate the desired parameter in an acceptable time frame. The task of finding the effective injection ratio is related to inverse problems. The following were used as proxy models: a material balance model for the field as a whole and for a system of hydrodynamically connected blocks, a capacitance-resistance model (CRM) and a two-dimensional filtration model. The order of the models corresponds to the hierarchical principle "from simple to complex". Based on the history of oil field development (production, fluid injection, reservoir and bottomhole pressure), the effective injection coefficients were obtained, they were compared, and the analysis of the results was carried out.
Interior Poverty in the Thought of Meister Eckhart as an Inspiration for Contemporary Sustainable Consumption
Authors: Łukaszewska Katarzyna
Published: February 2023

This article aims at presenting Meister Eckhart’s category of interior poverty as a contemporary proposal for the issue of sustainable consumption. Attempts to appropriate the discourse almost exclusively by means of economic optics seem unfounded in this context. Indeed, the issue of sustainable consumption is multifaceted, hence the idea to look at it from the perspective of the original thought of Meister Eckhart, who remains remarkably contemporary in his views on interior poverty. Renunciation in the form of depriving man of desires above all and not of things themselves remains a challenge to the intemperance and excesses of our everyday choices; moreover, the positioning of duty in being rather than action, in other words, by Meister Eckhart, is closer to our times than we used to think and remains an inspiring factor for contemporary searches for the core of personal interior preparation within a context of intemperate consumption.
Gelsolin Inhibits the Proliferation of Colon Cancer Cells by Enhancing the
Expression of TNFR2/CASP10 as a Death Receptor Pathway
Authors: Wang Zihang , Song Wuqi
Published: February 2023

Background:

Colon cancer has the second highest incidence rate of digestive system
tumors. It relies on surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy.

Objective:

To study the mechanism of GSN in the proliferation of colon cancer cells.

Materials and Methods:

The expression of gelsolin (GSN) was analyzed with the data of colon cancer
patients in the TCGA database. SW620 cells were treated by GSN in vitro and the gene expression
was detected by immunoblotting and quantitative PCR.

Result:

The expression of GSN was found significantly low in colon cancer cells and correlated with
the prognosis of patients. The SW620 cell line cultured in vitro was treated with exogenous GSN.
SW620 can be significantly inhibited above the concentration of 250 μg/ml. The results of
immunoblotting and quantitative PCR showed that exogenous GSN can effectively improve the
transcription level of death receptor-related pathway genes such as TNFR2 and CASP10.

Conclusion:

This study found that GSN inhibited the proliferation of SW620 cells in vitro by upregulating
the expression of death receptor pathway-related proteins.

Brain Metastasis
Authors: Khan Imran , Akdur Kerime , Mahfooz Sadaf , Elbasan Elif Burce , Sakarcan Ayten , Karacam Busra , Sinclair Georges , Selek Sahabettin , Akbas Fahri , Hatiboglu Mustafa Aziz
Published: February 2023

Background:

The relation between micro-RNA (miRNA) modulation and immune cell
activity in high-dose radiation settings is not clearly understood.

Objective:

To investigate the role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in (i) the regulation of tumorsuppressor
and oncogenic miRNAs as well as (ii) its effect on specific immune cell subsets in patients
with metastatic brain tumors (MBT).

Methods:

9 MBT patients who underwent gamma knife-based stereotactic radiosurgery (GKRS)
and 8 healthy individuals were included. Serum samples were isolated at three-time intervals (before
GKRS, 1 hour, and 1-month post-GKRS). Expressions of tumor-suppressor (miR-124) and
oncogenic (miR-21, miR-181a, miR-23a, miR-125b, and miR-17) miRNAs were quantified by
qPCR. The lymphocytic frequency (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD56+, CD19+, and CD16+) was investigated
by means of flow cytometry.

Results:

The median age was 64 years (range: 50-73 years). The median prescription dose was
20Gy (range: 16Gy-24Gy), all delivered in a single fraction. The median overall survival and progression-
free survival were 7.8 months (range: 1.7-14.9 months) and 6.7 months (range: 1.1-11.5
months), respectively. Compared to healthy controls, baseline levels of oncogenic miRNAs were
significantly higher, while tumor-suppressing miRNA levels remained markedly lower in MBT
patients prior to GKRS. Following GKRS, there was a reduction in the expression of miR-21,
miR-17, and miR-181a; simultaneously, increased expression increased of miR-124 was observed.
No significant difference in immune cell subsets was noted post GKRSIn a similar fashion. We
noted no correlation between patient characteristics, radiosurgery data, miRNA expression, and
immune cell frequency.

Conclusion:

For this specific population with MBT disease, our data suggest that stereotactic radiosurgery
may modulate the expression of circulating tumor-suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs, ultimately
enhancing key anti-tumoral responses. Further evaluation with larger cohorts is warranted.
Non-coding RNAs as Biomarkers for Survival in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Authors: Andrabi Mohammad Qasim , Kesavan Yasodha , Ramalingam Satish
Published: February 2023

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high incidence and fatality rate worldwide. It ranks second
concerning death worldwide. Cancer patients are diagnosed with the disease at a later stage
due to the absence of early diagnostic methods, which leads to increased death. With the help of
recent advancements in the fields of diagnosis and therapy, the development of novel methods using
new targets could be helpful for the long-term survival of CRC patients when CRC is detected
early. However, the prognosis for the advanced stage of CRC is abysmal. New biomarkers are
emerging as promising alternatives since they can be utilized for early detection of CRC, are simple
to use, and non-invasive. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been seen to have an aberrant expression
in the development of many malignancies, including CRC. In the past two decades, much
research has been done on non-coding RNAs, which may be valuable as biomarkers and targets for
antitumor therapy. Non-coding RNAs can be employed in detecting and treating CRC. Non-coding
RNAs play an essential role in regulating gene expression. This article reviews ncRNAs and their
expression levels in CRC patients that could be used as potential biomarkers. Various ncRNAs
have been associated with CRC, such as microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, etc.
The expression of these non-coding RNAs may provide insights into the stages of cancer and the
prognosis of cancer patients and therefore proper precautionary measures can be taken to decrease
cancer-related deaths.
Sample Size Estimation for a Non-inferiority Pain Management Trial
Authors: Tripathi Anadya Prakash , Shanker Rama
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Measuring pain and pain relief are the primary concerns in pain management. Sample size estimation in pain management with non-inferiority (NI) study design and assessment of specific-NI margin endpoints may be challenging as pain and its improvement are measured and reported on different endpoints.

Methods:

Multiple endpoints were reported frequently to measure pain and pain improvement. The sum of pain intensity difference (SPID[0-t]) at a specific time is the recommended endpoint for the measurement of pain by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Statistical information on SPID and other endpoints reported in multiple works in the literature (preferably from placebo-controlled trials) was collected and compared to identify a suitable NI margin. A difference of 20% was considered the default NI margin for evaluation, and the sample size was calculated for each endpoint.

Results:

The sample size based on the FDA-recommended primary endpoint SPID was found to be larger. This may be a concern for overall clinical operation and the availability of patients for recruitment in time. The sample size obtained for the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) endpoint was feasible and justifiable from an operational and clinical standpoint.

Conclusion:

Evaluation and assessment of multiple endpoints before designing an NI study enable rapid decision-making on endpoint selection and increase operational efficiency.

Aim:

Preparation of cerium containing silicious MCM-22 zeolite material and explore
its application for biomass conversion.

Background:

Zeolites and zeolite like microporous materials are well known as potential heterogeneous
acid catalysts, whose discovery has made a significant impact in the petroleum, petrochemical
and fine chemical industries. In recent years, zeolite, zeolites like molecular sieves,
and inorganic oxide-based heterogeneous catalysts played a significant role in biomass valorization
to receive value-added chemicals. Thus we focused on utilization of zeolite for biomass
transformation.

Objective:

Preparation of cerium containing aluminium-free siliceous MCM-22 (AF-CeMCM-
22) by the in-situ hydrothermal method and explore its importance on biomass transformation.

Methods:

Powder XRD, FTIR and BET surface area were used to study the microstructure of the
samples. SEM and FE-SEM were used to study morphology, TGA was used to evaluate the
thermal stability, and 29Si NMR and DR-UV-Vis were used to study the environment of the
MCM-22 framework. The prepared and confirmed material was used for the oxidation of levulinic
acid over the liquid phase setup. Gas chromatography was used to evaluate the catalytic
study, such as conversion and selectivity; also, GCMS was used for the confirmation of products.

Results:

The powder XRD pattern showed well distinguish MCM-22 framework structure with a
uniform dispersion of cerium ions in the MCM-22 framework. SEM image of the cerium AFCeMCM-
22 showed platelet structure having flaky spherical morphology and the surface area in
the range of about 175 m2g−1. 29Si NMR and DR-UV-Vis studies confirmed the well-condensed
nature of the MCM-22 silica framework and the cerium ions present in both tetrahedral and octahedral
extra-framework environments.

Conclusion:

The catalyst developed in the present studies was found to be a promising catalyst
for the conversion of iso-eugenol to vanillin at 60°C, using H2O2 oxidant with the vanillin selectivity

Published: February 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi implementasi insentif tenaga kesehatan Covid-19 dan melakukan analisis terhadap faktor pendukung dan faktor penghambat dalam pengimplementasian insentif Covid-19 bagi tenaga kesehatan Covid-19 di UPTD Puskesmas Blahbatuh I. Apresiasi dan penghargaan diberikan oleh pemerintah bagi tenaga kesehatan yang telah berdarma bakti berupa sejumlah insentif. Besaran insentif yang diberikan serta penerapan dan pelaksanaannya harus direncanakan dengan baik sehingga tenaga kesehatan Covid-19 memiliki semangat kerja dan etos kerja yang baik dalam memberikan pelayanan. Sistem pemberian insentif harus ditetapkan berdasarkan asas keadilan dan kelayakan karena hal tersebut dapat memberikan kepuasan bagi personel dan dapat meningkatkan gairah dalam bekerja (Hasibuan, 2009). Penelitian ini dilakukan di UPTD Puskesmas Blahbatuh I dengan jenis penelitian kualitatif dan pendekatan studi kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa manfaat an merasa diapresiasi atas pekerjaan yang dilakukan. Tenaga kesehatan Covid-19 lebih semangat dalam bekerja dan memiliki etos kerja yang lebih baik pasca-penerimaan insentif. Insentif Covid-19 juga digunakan untuk membantu keluarga yang tidak bekerja akibat terdampak pandemi sehingga manfaat insentif Covid-19 tidak hanya untuk diri sendiri, tetapi bermanfaat juga bagi orang lain.Insentif Covid-19 yang diterima adalah sebesar Rp5.000.000, dengan nominal tersebut dikatakan bahwa insentif telah memenuhi asas kelayakan karena melebihi standar Upah Minimum Kabupaten Gianyar tahun 2021. Walaupun telah memenuhi asas kelayakan, tetapi insentif Covid-19 belum memenuhi asas keadilan karena tidak terdapat perbedaan nominal yang diterima antar-profesi tenaga kesehatan. Dokter, perawat, bidan, dan tenaga kesehatan lainnya mendapat sejumlah nominal insentif yang sama, padahal setiap tenaga kesehatan memiliki tanggung jawab dan SOP masing-masing. Faktor pendukung dalam penerapan insentif Covid-19 yaitu aplikasi I-Nakes yang dibuat oleh pemerintah telah berfungsi dengan baik dan dapat memudahkan verifikator untuk mengetahui berapa nominal insentif yang sudah dapat dicairkan. Sedangkan beberapa faktor penghambat dalam penerapan insentif Covid-19 adalah (1) pengumuman dari Dinas Kesehatan seringkali tergesa-gesa mendekati tenggat waktu, dan (2) terlalu banyaknya laporan yang harus dibuat dan sering dikumpulkan secara kolektif.

Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dan memberikan bukti pengaruh positif antara kondisi keuangan perusahaan dan pengungkapan corporate social responsibility (CSR) pada industri manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Desain/Metode/Pendekatan: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan purposive sampling sebagai metode pengambilan sampel. Jumlah observasi dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 360 dari 90 perusahaan selama periode 2016 – 2019. Hasil Penelitian: Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah variabel profitabilitas berpengaruh secara positif terhadap pengungkapan CSR artinya makin besar laba yang dimiliki perusahaan, makin baik intesitas pengungkapan CSR. Likuiditas berpengaruh secara negatif terhadap pengungkapan CSR, artinya makin tinggi likuiditas perusahaan, maka makin buruk pengungkapan CSR yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan. Hal ini terjadi karena likuiditas yang terlalu tinggi dianggap kurang baik karena menunjukkan banyaknya dana yang menganggur. Leverage berpengaruh secara positif terhadap pengungkapan CSR, makin tinggi nilai leverage perusahaan kemungkinan debt provider berada dalam posisi yang lebih kuat untuk menuntut kualitas yang lebih tinggi terhadap laporan pengungkapan CSR. Selain itu, profile perusahaan dapat memperkuat pengaruh antara leverage dan pengungkapan CSR, tetapi tidak dapat memperkuat ataupun memperlemah pengaruh antara profitabilitas, likuiditas dan pengungkapan CSR.
