Why do we digitize books instead of knowledge?
Authors:   University of Applied Sciences, Zagreb, Croatia, Turčić Maja
Published: April 2021

Besides text and images, contemporary e-books can include multimedia, interactivity, pronunciation information and text-to-speech ready content. The current EPUB 3 standard provides all the technical solutions necessary for designing and displaying highly functional and content rich e-books, but the implementation is impaired by the e-reader industry, publishers and distributors. Local and global book digitization has been an ongoing process for years, encompassing publications ranging from classical literature to current technical textbooks. Textual expression of knowledge is a remnant of the past but it is still dominant today, even though interactivity and video content are known to significantly enhance the learning process. However, multimedia and interactive content for e-books is not produced because it requires time, technical knowledge and specific tools. Within the current publishing system, authors are expected to produce and design all the content for books on their own, but because of the extreme content diversity, it is unrealistic to expect that they really possess such knowledge and skills. Better collaboration among authors, publishers, distributors, the professional community and the related industry is necessary for knowledge digitization to function.

The use of recovered paper in the paper and board industry worldwide has increased in the last decade. The recycling process affects several properties of the paper, so recovered pulp needs to be enriched with a certain amount of virgin fibre to increase the strength and quality of the paper, and thus the quality of the print. Since the cellulose-based printing substrates are sensitive to photolytic damage caused by exposure to light and high temperature, the focus of the research was to evaluate the stability of digital UV inkjet prints on laboratory substrates with wheat pulp. Assessment of the optical stability of laboratory substrates and prints made on them after ageing treatment was based on the reflectance spectra measurements before and after artificial ageing. In order to observe the optical changes that occur in cellulose printing substrates, unprinted and digital printed substrates were placed in an artificial ageing equipment SunTEST XLS+ test chamber according to standard ASTM D 6789-02. The test chamber emits visible and near ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation in the range from 290 nm to 800 nm. With the deterioration of the optical stability of unprinted and digital printed substrates, it was observed through the reflectance spectra (R) and the Euclidean colour difference (ΔE00*) that the highest colour degradation of all analyzed samples, occurs in the first 48 hours of artificial ageing. The results of this analysis confirm that the addition of wheat pulp in paper pulp provides better optical stability of unprinted and digital printed laboratory substrates.

Published: April 2021

Background:
Preeclampsia is a multiorgan disorder associated with maternal and perinatal morbi-mortality. In Peru, incidence is 10% and accounts for 22% of maternal deaths. Genome and genetic epidemiological studies have found an association between preeclampsia and genetic polymorphisms.

Objective:
To determine the association of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) +936 C/T and +405 G/C, interleukine-6 (IL-6) -174 G/C, IL-1β-511 C/T, Apo A-1-75 G/A, Apo B-100 2488 C/T (Xbal) polymorphisms with preeclampsia in pregnant Peruvian women.

Methods:
Were included preeclamptic and healthy (control) pregnant women. Maternal blood samples were subjected to DNA extraction, and molecular genetic analysis was conducted using the PCR-RFLP technique and following a specific protocol for each gene. Allele and genotypic frequencies in the cases and controls were compared.

Results:
No association was found between the VEGF+936C/T and VEGF+405 polymorphisms and preeclampsia. The frequencies of the GG genotypes and the G allele of the -174 G/C polymorphism in the IL6 gene in preeclamptic and controls showed significant differences, with higher frequencies in cases. For the -511 C/T polymorphism of the IL-1β gene, no significant differences were found in the frequencies of TT genotypes compared with CT+CC. The genotypes and alleles of the Apo-A1-75 G/A and Apo-B100 Xbal variants showed no significant differences between cases and controls.

Conclusion:
No association was found between the studied genetic markers and preeclampsia. However, in the -174G/C polymorphism of the IL-6 gene, significant differences were found mainly in the GG genotype and G allele.

Authors: Linares Ballesteros Adriana , Sanguino Lobo Roy , Villada Valencia Juan Camilo , Arévalo Leal Oscar , Plazas Hernández Diana Constanza , Aponte Barrios Nelson , Perdomo Ramírez Iván
Published: April 2021

Background:
Acute leukemias are the most frequent malignancies in children. Advances in treatment have improved the overall survival to 80%. Almost 10% of children with cancer develop clinical cardiac toxicity. Total anthracycline cumulative dose is a risk factor for early-onset cardiotoxicity.

Objective:
To describe the incidence of early-onset cardiotoxicity in children with acute leukemia treated with chemotherapy.

Methods:
A prospective descriptive study of patients >1 y and <18 years diagnosed with acute leukemia. Assessed with electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and blood biomarkers at diagnosis and during the follow-up.

Results:
94 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 18 with acute myeloid leukemia were included. 20 patients (17.9%) developed early-onset cardiotoxicity. Statistically significant data was seen after anthracycline dose >150 mg/m2, between the first echocardiographic evaluation and posterior analyses in the left ventricular fraction ejection with Teicholz p 0.05, Simpson p 0.018 and GLS p 0.004. In this study, there was no relation between blood biomarkers and cardiotoxicity.

Conclusions:
Cancer therapeutic-related cardiac dysfunction is related to anthracycline cumulative dose. In this study, echocardiographic follow-up was useful to predict risk factors for early cardiac dysfunction.
Inequities in the emergence, manifestations and consequences of COVID19
Authors: Méndez Paz Fabian
Published: April 2021

The Inequality Virus is the name given to SARS-COV2 by an OXFAM publication, highlighting that during the pandemic, the ten richest men on the planet have earned 540 billion dollars, a figure that would serve to finance a universal vaccine for COVID19. This fact is an exemplary demonstration of the inequities of the pandemic, analyzed below in three different dimensions: 1) The origins of the pandemic, in the context of inequitable socio-ecological systems where the relationship amongst humans and between humans and nature has been broken; 2) Its manifestations, in conditions of social inequity, with its patterns of occurrence and a painful trace of disease and death; and 3) The consequences, in a vicious circle with the complex systems that gave rise to it, causing a profound situation of inequity, in other words, the pandemic as a source of more unjust differences.
Unity of the process of creating a fine art painting: ideal and material
Authors: Demenev Denis Nikolaevich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the interaction of the ideal and the material, which ensures unity of the process of creating a fine art painting. The object of this research is the dynamics of this process, which gradually materializes the ideal through poetic transformation of the objective reality. In the course of creating a fine art painting, the author underlines the importance of ontological-phenomenological and socio-gnoseological aspects of human existence, which in many ways determine the technical and technological means of solution of the artistic and creative tasks. Special attention is given to contemplation of the objective world, purposive action of the artistic will, establishment of the artistic image as interrelated stages of objectification of the ideal. The novelty of this article consists in interpretation of the phenomenon of the ideal, reflected in painting via integrated will. The latter is the synthesis of artistic will and subjective will of the painter. The author describes a “shuttle principle” in objectification of the ideal in the works of art within the framework of the history of development of painting, as well as within a single process: 1) from the aesthetic form to the embodiment of universality of the content; 2) from the universal content to aesthetic embodiment. The following conclusions were made: 1) the objectively ideal in a painting is an aesthetically perceived (visually, mentally, and spiritually) boundary of beauty and beautiful depicted via perfect, absolute unity of the artistic form and content, artistically and graphically, adequate to its concept in its material outcome, in reality. It is of rare occurrence in the works of art, something to be sought for; 2) an artistic form should be correlated in the artwork with universality of its content, which results in the fusion of the ideal and the real, and forms their indifference; 3) the universal meanings, ideologically underlying the content of a fine art painting, deepen and broaden the possibilities of artistic matter for objectification of the ideal in aesthetic form.
Running in light of the ideas of Olympism of Pierre de Coubertin
Authors: Kannykin Stanislav Vladimirovich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the sociocultural conditionality of running. The relevance of this work consists in non-inclusion into the philosophical context, which implies reference to the universal and the basic fundamental, running as the most universal cultural form of locomotion of an athlete, as well as the absence of definition of its humanistic importance in both, individual and collective existence. The author sets the three tasks: reveal the foundations of the concept of Olympism of Pierre de Coubertin; determine the content of the values of Olympism interpreted as the key ideas oriented towards implementation in life of a person and society through the Olympic sports; advance the hypothesis of running as the basic physical practice for sports, which essentially implies the transcendent dimension that correlates with the ideological components of Olympism. The novelty of this article lies in the analysis of running through the prism of ideological foundations of Olympism. Being inherent to the universal for sports running practices, these foundations make running, viewed as a component of social environment, a means of preservation and distribution the Coubertin’s ideology of formation of an athlete as a harmonious, spiritually and physically developed personality through the educational sports. Considering the fact that the socially conditioned running motor action contributes to the formation of the structures of human consciousness, the mental world of the subject, formed with involvement of the Olympic oriented running practices, is largely characterized by the values promoted by Pierre de Coubertin.

Published: April 2021

The article says that the "Russian question" will always be a "stumbling block" in relations between American and European NATO partners. And if Americans, out of habit, find it beneficial to remove any conflicts, including local military ones, from their borders as much as possible, and there is no better field for battle, from which the American speculators will once again emerge victorious than Europe, then Europeans in this Europe - to live taking into account the interests of such a political giant as the Russian Federation. In this regard, the political figures of Putin and Trump in Europe traditionally cause a great public outcry, and following or confrontation with the political positions of both unites and leads political figures from the largest and strategically important countries of Europe (Germany, France, Poland, Ukraine). The United States needs NATO as a conduit for its foreign policy and as a chain dog that will not allow Russia to regain the political gains of the Second World War lost in the 1990s, as well as significant political influence in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics.
ENSURING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE

Published: April 2021

The state in the whole world promotes the development of small and medium-sized businesses, seeing it as the key not only to economic but also political stability in the country. In recent years, the development of small and medium-sized businesses, including in the countryside, is given special attention, supports the development of cooperative processes between them. However, all efforts (organizational and financial) do not give a proper result - not all small and medium-sized enterprises are involved in agricultural cooperatives, the share of participation in output fluctuates at 5% even in the most successful regions in terms of cooperation. Agricultural cooperatives do not have the necessary sources for their development: public funds are not available to everyone, and credit resources also require a certain credit history and own sources of co-financing. The article analyzes the capital structure of Russia's largest and most successful dairy cooperatives, as well as international cooperatives. The author proposed a completely new concept of allocation of public support funds for the development of agricultural cooperatives, aimed at strengthening the role of existing and successful cooperatives.

Published: April 2021

The measures taken by the state in previous years to reduce mortality and increase the birth rate have exhausted themselves: in recent years, in a number of regions, there has been an excess of mortality over birth rate (repetition of the "Russian cross"). In this regard, research is relevant, connected not only with identifying the effect of the Russian cross, but also determining the prospects for its repetition. Purpose: forecasting demographic processes in the region and identifying the causes of the demographic crisis. Methods: tabular and graphical methods for analyzing the ratio of fertility and mortality rates, correlation analysis to identify the relationship between the national composition of the region and the fertility rate, econometric methods for constructing and researching multidimensional time series, which consists in developing a vector model of error correction that allows studying mutual responses to shocks in dynamics and forecast the levels of fertility and mortality in the region. Results: the study made it possible to predict the most important demographic indicators in the region on the basis of a vector error correction model, which reflects both the short-term equilibrium between the dynamics of the birth rate and mortality rate, and allows us to correct the deviation from the long-term equilibrium based on taking into account the previous deviations from such an equilibrium. The forecasting results showed the persistence in the near future of imbalances in population reproduction, revealed the problem of divorce before the birth of the first child in families due to financial difficulties or fear of this, and confirmed the advisability of introducing new government measures aimed at increasing the birth rate and reducing mortality. Scientific novelty: the article for the first time uses the multidimensional time series toolkit in the form of a vector error correction model for predicting demographic processes in the Orenburg region. Practical significance: the proposed approach can be used in the analysis and forecasting of the effect of the "Russian cross" for any region of the Russian Federation, and the results obtained can be used by the authorities in the development of demographic and socio-economic programs to support the population.

Published: April 2021

Nature of tourism presupposes meeting the needs of producers, consumers and the entire society based on trust. The phenomenon of trust in the sphere of tourism is only being established in the process of formation of tourism as a socio economic phenomenon, whose tangible forms started to be perceived only early in the twentieth century. Ever changing and unpredictable market factors influencing the functioning of tourism enterprises sharpen the problem of trust. Besides, the role of trust is becoming dominant in the periods of crisis as far as trust plays an essential role in the development and recovery of sales and travels. This paves the way to our interest to actualization of trust in the sphere of tourism. The first part of this research overviews publications of foreign and Russian authors with view to receiving a complex knowledge about trust phenomenon. In the second part of it when looking into academic and empirical researches we discovered peculiarities of trust in tourism and formulated the author's understanding of trust. The purpose of this research is to make the contents analysis of foreign and Russian publications and get a complex knowledge about phenomenon of trust as a polymeric construct integrating social, economic and psychological aspects.

Published: April 2021

Many mining and metallurgical companies are major players not only in the domestic but also in the international market. In this area, expensive equipment is used, specialists with unique knowledge and competencies are often involved in the production, processing and sale process, and prices for raw materials and finished products in the world market are constantly fluctuating, and resources for production, including quarries for the development of minerals, have its limits of implementation. Ineffective planning and budgeting management can lead to a decrease in the financial performance of the organization and even negatively affect the economy of the entire country. The relevance of this article is related to the need to solve the problems of improving these processes, which can be successfully solved by introducing information technologies. The purpose of this study is to identify the key requirements for an information system to support planning and budgeting processes in mining and metallurgical companies, as well as to determine which solutions are advisable to use depending on the criticality of certain requirements for a particular enterprise. Using the Karl Wiegers method, the key requirements for an information technology solution for planning and budgeting in a mining and metallurgical holding were formulated and classified. A comparative analysis of two types of solutions, most often used to automate the investigated activities, is carried out, the results of which allow determining the most optimal approach to improving the planning and budgeting processes in mining and metallurgical companies.

Authors:   Kursk State Medical University, BELYAEV S.A
Published: April 2021

For quite a long period of time, Russia has been developing its foreign trade activities, the main directions of export are energy resources, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as minerals. At the same time, the change in the political situation against the background of the conflict with Ukraine and the subsequent introduction of a package of sanctions by the EU countries inevitably had a significant negative impact on the country's export-import relations. In response to sanctions pressure, Russia introduced a food embargo in 2014, thereby restricting the import of imported goods, which brought financial losses for the main importing countries, but also affected the country's food supply. During the study, an assessment was made of the development of imports of the Kursk region under the conditions of the food embargo, the main trends and their causes were identified. It was found that the volume of imports in the Kursk region in the last 5 years has been changing in a wave-like manner: in the period 2015-2016. there was a decrease in the import of goods, and since 2017, the upward trend has resumed. Reduction in import volumes in 2015-2016 due to the introduction of the food embargo and the intensification of the policy of import substitution, however, it soon became obvious that it was not possible to meet the emerging needs from internal resources.
THE CONCEPT OF SCHIZOTYPY-THE PERSPECTIVE OF COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS AND THE THEORY OF COUNTING INFORMATION IN MEDICAL PRACTICE
Authors:   Kursk State Medical University, BORODINA K.M
Published: April 2021

Following the approach of mathematical and instrumental methods to mental disorders, the concept of schizotypy assumes a quantitative rather than qualitative characteristic of schizophrenia. In this review, we present a comprehensive review of recent publications on statistical research in schizotypy and related changes in brain anatomy to lay the groundwork for a spatial perspective of schizophrenia and related disorders for counting information theory in medical practice. In the course of the study, a special medical design for calculating basic data was proposed, based on modern methods of innovative parametric statistics. Despite significant progress in diagnostic accuracy and symptomatic treatment of mental disorders, discussions continue about their classification and use in mathematical and instrumental methods to track current advances in neuroscience. The main goal of our study is to apply the concept of schizotypy to computational statistics in medical design, which meets the needs for an objective assessment of schizophrenic-like personality traits in the General population. Thus, the study provides a qualitative and quantitative assessment of statistical methods in the study of schizotopia, and proves the theory of counting information in medical practice in the perspective of using computational statistics.

In modern conditions, receivables have become an integral part of the economy of domestic enterprises, which is associated with economic instability, variations in their financial stability and often negatively affects the solvency. The growth of accounts receivable adversely affects the financial turnover of creditor enterprises, for debtors the impossibility of quick and timely fulfillment of financial obligations leads to an increase in accounts payable, thereby reducing their financial stability and increasing the likelihood of bankruptcy, which makes the problem of formation of accounts receivable a topical research area. During the study, an assessment of the state of receivables in the Russian economy was carried out, the main trends and their causes were identified. It was found that the volume of accounts receivable in the Russian economy today, despite an almost twofold decrease in 5 years - from 11.4 trillion. rub. up to 6.2 trillion rubles, as before, is quite impressive, which is associated with economic instability, accompanied by periods of greater recession and crisis phenomena. This is confirmed by the results of the study, which emphasize that today in the economy about 20% of the financial assets of enterprises are in the form of accounts receivable. Effective management of accounts receivable in difficult economic conditions is becoming increasingly important, since it is aimed at improving the overall performance of domestic enterprises and the economy.
THE ROLE OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INVESTMENT PROJECTS
Authors:   Kursk State Medical University, VLASOVA O.V
Published: April 2021

Russia has adopted a strategy of economic development towards digitalization. Information systems and technologies provide ample opportunities for the development of various aspects of economic activity. One of the areas of implementation is information systems for managing investment projects. Investment activities involve certain risks. Of course, various methods for calculating project performance criteria have been proposed to minimize them. The development of these methods with the help of information technologies is one of the current trends in the development of information systems. This issue can be considered separately or as part of a more global problem related to the management of investment projects. This process involves several stages, as well as applied tasks that need to be solved automatically. Pre-project research of an idea is one of the initial stages in this type of activity. It is given considerable attention due to its special importance. However, the structure of the investment information management system itself relies more on clear planning of resources and tasks, as well as monitoring the progress of the project, the ratio of costs and work done. The existence of intermediate control determines the latest management techniques, but within the framework of the work and interaction of programs, this process becomes more orderly. In addition to software modules that perform the main functionality, there are auxiliary programs that perform important work, but do not relate to the specifics of the activity. One of these is the electronic document management module.

Each sphere of human activity develops according to certain laws, and each industry has an impact to a greater or lesser extent on the other. The article shows that rapid progress in science has made it possible to make a leap in many areas of knowledge, thanks to the emergence of information technologies, including the economy - serious changes have affected many business areas. The beginning of large-scale implementation of information systems marked the beginning of a new level of development of economic processes and the transition of Russia to the digital economy. In the course of studying the topic of expanding the digital economy, it was determined that Russia significantly lags behind developed countries in the development of information systems in the business environment. Progress is being made in developing the regulatory framework that is urgently needed to ensure economic and legal protection of investments in information technology projects. The key factors that complicate the implementation of such projects are the lack of financial resources to install the necessary systems, as well as the technical difficulties of their implementation. The research shows that the weak side of many companies is the complete absence or malfunctioning of electronic document management. The organization of this aspect is important for ensuring well-established communication between internal and external departments, as well as for data transfer between different programs. Maintaining business documentation within the system and completely eliminating paper forms is one of the elements of creating a favorable environment for the transition to the digital economy.

Published: April 2021

The issue of enhancing regional innovation and investment development is one of the important elements of the development of the Russian economy in the realities of the modern economy. Like any economic process, investment and innovation regional development depends on many factors with varying degrees of influence. Existing domestic studies provide a different range of influencing factors and do not determine the degree of this impact on the innovative and investment development of regions. In the works, where economic calculations are presented, there is also a question of choice as a resultant and explanatory indicators. The purpose of this article is to identify the factors influencing the investment and innovative development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In the course of the study, an econometric model of innovative and investment development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation was built. Modeling was carried out using the Gretl 1.9.11 software product using the least squares method. The model includes factors that, for the most part, were not used in the study of innovation and investment development using mathematical modeling. A number of factors have been replaced with more appropriate ones or taking into account more activities. As a result of the tests carried out, the model can be recognized as correct and is a theoretical proof of the existence of a relationship between the volume of produced innovative goods, works and services in the country and specific economic indicators.

The digital economy is a new trend in the development of economic activity. Its main feature is the use of information technologies and electronic devices in the implementation of all business processes. Technological progress makes it possible to automate many areas and thereby modernize and optimize the solution of basic issues. The introduction of digital systems not only simplifies many activities, but also contributes to the emergence of new forms of economic activity. So, for example, one of the main concepts of the new time was the conduct of electronic business. This type is the management of electronic affairs: online stores, virtual money, and more. It has a number of advantages, but it is not the only innovative element of the digital economy. Almost all countries are focused on maximizing the use of innovation in economic activities. You can already see some positive results of the functioning of information systems: for example, an increase in world GDP. However, the spread of economic information technologies is uneven. There are advanced leading countries that use technology in their activities by more than 50%. Russia has average results, but the conditions of modern times are such that in order to conduct business without losses, it is necessary to reduce the gap as soon as possible. However, the introduction of information technologies requires a large amount of costs, both financial and time. The first aspect is dominant and reduces the availability of technology, and with it the development of the digital economy.

The pharmaceutical market in Russia in the current environment is one of the most dynamically developing, which is associated with its high importance for ensuring national security. The change in the foreign policy environment against the background of the events of 2014 showed the negative aspects of the country's previously existing dependence on the import of pharmaceutical products, defining the implementation of the import substitution strategy in the field of drug supply as a long-term benchmark for the development of the industry. However, its implementation actually ran into a number of difficulties, the most important of which is the insufficient level of development of the country's scientific and technical potential in this industry. In the course of the study, the analysis of the main indicators of the dynamics and structure of the domestic pharmaceutical market in physical and value terms, identification of the main trends and their causes was carried out. It has been established that in the past 3 years the domestic pharmaceutical market has been developing, which is confirmed by a steady trend towards an increase in its value from 1.6 to 1.8 trillion. rub. At the same time, generic drugs predominate in the market structure in 2019, accounting for more than 85% of the total number of packs sold, the cost of which amounted to about 60% of the total sales. Consequently, on the Russian pharmaceutical market, there is a tendency towards active distribution of generic drugs of domestic origin, which is due to their price advantage compared to original imported drugs, which are expensive and have problems with implementation under conditions of economic sanctions.

In difficult economic and socio-political conditions, there is an increase in the dominant importance of Russian agriculture, not only as a guarantor of social stability in terms of ensuring food security, but also as a driver of the country's economic development in the strategic future. During the period of the spread of the coronavirus threat, many industries suffered significant losses, resulting in an economic downturn in most countries of the world. In this situation, agriculture can become a catalyst for the development of economic processes in regions with agricultural specialization, as the demand for food, both in the Russian market and abroad, will continue to increase. The article considers the results of agricultural production in the Kursk region, according to which the conclusion is made about significant success in a number of agricultural production areas. Against the background of initially lower provision of our region with resources and other natural and economic conditions in comparison with the leading regions, there are noticeable rates of positive changes in the agricultural sector of the Kursk region, which allowed the region to enter the top 10 in terms of sugar beet yields, grain and meat production. The key indicator of the analysis is the share of agricultural production in the region relative to the all-Russian similar indicator, the assessment of which revealed a more dynamic development of the Kursk region on average in comparison with other regions in the country. The study argues that it is necessary to increase the role of the state as a guarantor of stability and investment attractiveness of domestic agriculture in order to maintain positive dynamics of production and economic processes in the context of accelerating recovery from the pandemic crisis.
