BALKAN BALKANSKIM NARODIMA ILI BALKAN IMPERIJAMA: KAKO DO MIRA I PROSPERITETA?
Authors: Bjelajac Mile
Published: November 2020

U središtu ovog rada je zapitanost o stvarnim uzrocima povremenog narušavanja mira i postojanja zone nestabilnosti na Balkanu. Da li je moguće, i kako, prevazići faktore rizika, kolonijalne i neokolonijalne zavisnosti i uspostaviti tolerantnu koegzistenciju među narodima koji ga naseljavaju i koji su tu formirali svoje države. U javnom govoru, prošlom i sadašnjem, najčešće se insistiralo samo na jednoj dimenziji stvarnosti ili u najboljem slučaju na suženoj slici, dakle, izbegavala se kompleksnost istorijski uslovljenih stanja i različitih iskustava. Ovo se odnosi i na politički govor o evropskim integracijama Srbije. Pobude savremenika da u svom vremenu shvate i znaju sve okolnosti, unutrašnje i spoljne, aktuelne i one dugog trajanja, mogu se razumeti samo kroz razumevanje vremena u kome su nastajale. Ceniti njihovu politiku koja je nastajala u magli procena i oskudnih znanja nekim budućim merilima i saznanjima ne vodi dobrim istorijskim zaključcima o nekom vremenu. U ovom radu, kroz istorijske primere vide se trajni pokušaji želje naroda koji ga nastanjuju da se stvore uslovi za trajniji mir i ekonomski razvoj i permanentno nastojanje velikih sila da ga kontrolišu u geopolitičkom i ekonomskom smislu. Granični prostor vekovima, Balkan je trusno područje, ali je daleko od toga da je to jedino takvo područje u svetu. Nasilje i povremeno masovni zločini, masovne seobe ili proterivanje, nisu bili unikum ovog prostora. U akademskim radovima i stručnoj analitici skorašnje balkanske krize više su nego vidljivi tragovi dominantnog političkog narativa na pojedinim vanbalkanskim stranama i pre prikrivaju nego što otkrivaju stvarne korene balkanske krize. Slično je sa promovisanjem integrativnih procesa pod pritiskom ekonomskih i geopolitičkih interesa. U jednom preglednom članku nema prostora da se detaljno elaborira svaka pomenuta tema, ali dovoljno da se kroz upečatljive primere osvetli praksa i podstakne dalje traganje.
INDUSTRIJSKA ŠPIJUNAŽA NA PRIMERU KINE I SAD
Authors: Domazet Sinisa , Skakavac Zdravko
Published: November 2020

U radu je analiziran pojam i osnovne karakteristike industrijske špijunaže na primeru SAD i Narodne Republike Kine. Cilj rada je da se ukaže na opasnost od ovog oblika nelegalnih aktivnosti i na velike ekonomske štete koje se prouzrokuju. Primer predstavlja afera u vezi sa kompanijom Huawei. Pomenuta kompanija je postala „kamen spoticanja“ između dve supersile, s obzirom na brojne optužbe koje stižu sa američke strane da se Huawei, pored osnovne delatnosti, bavi i industrijskom špijunažom u korist kineske vlade. Ustanovljeno je da se kineska industrijska špijunaža odnosila i na navodne krađe tehnologije za lovac najnovije generacije F-35, korporacijskih tajni više kompanija kao što su Motorola, Ford, Dženeral motors, Dipon, uključujući i poznate američke kompanije u oblasti poljoprivrede, zatim u oblasti satelitskog programa, kao i krađe intelektualne svojine uz pomoć takozvanih „spavača“, odnosno kineskih studenata u SAD. Utvrđeno je da industrijska špijunaža obuhvata praktično sve delove privrede, kao i da nanosi enormne ekonomske štete. Uz pomoć agresivne industrijske špijunaže stiče se konkurentska prednost na tržištu, pribavljaju osetljive poslovne informacije, ali i narušavaju politički odnosi. Stoga je neophodno povećati kontraobaveštajnu zaštitu, ali i razvijati efikasne sisteme odbrane od sajber napada i otkrivanja poslovnih tajni. U istraživanju su korišćeni normativni metod i pravno-logički metodi indukcije i dedukcije.
MEĐUNARODNI INCIDENTI – POJAM I VRSTE
Authors: Krivokapic Boris
Published: November 2020

Rad se bavi složenim problemom međunarodnih incidenata, koji ima i teorijski i praktični značaj. U uvodnom delu obrađen je pojam međunarodnog incidenta, koji je definisan kao neki neprijatan slučaj, mali sukob i slično, koji ugrožava ili kvari odnose u međunarodnoj zajednici, a posebno između država ili izaziva druge više ili manje izražene štetne posledice. Zatim je ukazano na određene sličnosti i razlike između međunarodnih incidenata, sporova, kriza i konflikata. Drugi deo rada sadrži klasifikaciju međunarodnih incidenata prema razlozima zbog kojih nastaju. Tu je ukazano da incidenti mogu nastati kao posledica odluka vlada pojedinih država, delovanja državnih organa nezavisno od volje vlade, akcija nezavisnih pojedinaca, nesrećnih slučajeva, prirodnih događaja, ali i iz raznih drugih razloga, pa čak i usled postupaka životinja. Sledeći deo rada bavi se vrstama incidenata prema njihovoj prirodi pri čemu su posebno obrađeni vojni incidenti, granični incidenti, atentati i diplomatski incidenti, zato što oni najčešće izbijaju između država i što njihove posledice mogu biti vrlo teške. Konačno, poslednji deo rada bavi se vrstama incidenata prema njihovim posledicama. Tu su dati analiza i primeri incidenata koji su se pretvorili u sporove, incidenata koji su prerasli u krize i, na kraju, incidenata koji su se izrodili u konflikte, bilo da je neko iskoristio određene događaje ili čak sam stvorio incidente da bi mogao da ih iskoristi za svoje ciljeve, pa i započinjanje oružanog sukoba. Rad sadrži zaista veliki broj primera iz prakse, od kojih su neki zaboravljeni, a drugi se tiču najnovijih zbivanja.
OSNOVNE FUNKCIJE DRŽAVE U PROCESU IZGRADNjE SISTEMA BEZBEDNOSTI
Authors: Gacinovic Radoslav
Published: November 2020

Država od davnih vremena obavlja dve osnovne funkcije: obezbeđuje društveno jedinstvo kroz podržavanje društva kao jedinstvene celine i obezbeđuje opstanak društva sredstvima prinude i drugim instrumentima kojima raspolaže. Kroz prvu funkciju država je reprezent celokupnog društva, a kroz drugu vladajućeg sloja. Imajući u vidu navedene činjenice, a uvažavajući liberalne, konzervativne i druge teorije države, osnovne državne funkcije su: uslužna funkcija; ekonomska funkcija; pravna funkcija; socijalna funkcija; ideološka funkcija države i bezbednosna funkcija. Bezbednosna funkcija je ujedno i uslužna funkcija, jer se društvu unutar države: obezbeđuju – pružaju „usluge” sigurnosti; razvija ekonomija kao materijalna baza materijalno-tehničke opremljenosti i stručne osposobljenosti organa i službi bezbednosti. Bezbednosna funkcija se može identifikovati i sa prinudnom funkcijom države koja je vezana za očuvanje vitalnih vrednosti društva: suvereniteta, teritorijalnog integriteta, nezavisnosti i borbe protiv kriminala. Navedene funkcije smatraju se osnovom za postojanje savremenih država i spadaju u grupu minimalnih prava svake državne zajednice.
BEZBEDNOSNE STRATEGIJE MALIH DRŽAVA U SAVREMENOM SVETU: SLUČAJ SRBIJE
Authors: Gajic Aleksandar
Published: November 2020

Savremeno izučavanje mogućnosti malih država da se odupru bezbednosnim pretnjama daleko je odmaklo od shvatanja da se ono svodi na klasičnu politiku balasiranja i razvijanja sopstvenih vojnih potencijala. Tome je doprinelo „proširivanje polja bezbednosti“, detaljno posmatranje bezbednosti kao stanja, organizacije i funkcije, kao i proučavanje prirode država koje se, usled zajedničkih osobina i načina delovanja u međunarodnim odnosima, dele na male i velike države, odnosno sile. U uvodnom delu rada se obrađuje teme definisanja malih država prema standardnim kriterijumima (kvantitativni, kvalitativnim i relacionim), a zatim se, u njegovom drugom delu, objašnjavaju glavne strategije koje male države koriste pri suočavanju sa bezbednosnim pretnjama. U trećem delu rada, ova teorijska saznanja se primenjuju na slučaj Srbije, to jest na njenu izloženost, kao male države, nizu bezbednosnih pretnji od završetka hladnoratovskog perioda do današnjeg dana, sve kako bi se izvukli zaključci koje su bezbednosne strateške mogućnosti koje sada stoje pred Srbijom i šta one mogu da joj donesu.
GEOPOLITIČKI ASPEKTI REDEFINISANE DRŽAVNE MOĆI NA PRIMERIMA EU I BALKANA
Authors: Subotic Milovan
Published: November 2020

Državna moć je u velikoj meri izmenjena savremenim globalizacijskim narativima, no bilo bi odveć hrabro i pogrešno ustvrditi da je globalizacija učinila države nepotrebnim. Iako su mnogi problemi današnjeg sveta, poput problema u kontekstu bezbednosti, terorizma, klimatskih promena i slično, nemogući za rešavanje u nacionalnim okvirima, saradnja suverenih država se nameće kao „prava mera” u odgovoru na ove i ovakve probleme globalnog karaktera. Nakon elaboracije fenomena državne moći kroz njene najznačajnije činioce, u ovom radu je analiziran fenomen disproporcije moći na primeru zemalja članica EU, kao i problemi unutar same Unije koji se reflektuju na balkanske zemlje koje se nalaze na „evropskom putu”. Posebna pažnja u radu je usmerena ka identifikovanju slabosti ovih zemalja, koje su uz ambivalentan odgovor Unije, doprinele da se na ovdašnjoj pozornici intenzivira uticaj različitih globalnih i regionalnih aktera današnjice. Imajući u vidu intenzitet i permanentnost propuštenih prilika, kako od strane balkanskih zemalja kandidata za članstvo, tako i od evropske administracije, na kraju rada se zaključak sam nameće. Ukoliko na ovom prostoru najskorije ne dođe do izvesnije perspektive članstva u EU onih zemalja koje su „zaglavljene na evropskom putu” u igru bi značajnije mogli ući i drugi igrači vođeni različitim interesima, prevashodno Kina, Rusija, Turska i neke arapske zemlje.
GEOPOLITIKA I ENERGETSKA BEZBEDNOST BALKANSKIH DRŽAVA
Authors: Stojadinovic Misa
Published: November 2020

Kraj XX i početak XXI veka su doveli do velikog broja promena koje su se odrazile na svim poljima. Ograničenost resursa i potreba za energijom su zasluženo zauzeli svoje mesto među ključnim činiocima kreiranja međunarodne politike zemalja širom sveta, pri čemu je rođen jedan novi vid diplomatije – energetska diplomatija. Glavni cilj rada je kritička analiza energetske bezbednosti evropskih zemalja, sa naročitim fokusom na energetsku bezbednost balkanskih zemalja. U radu se naročito analizira uticaj geopolitičkih faktora po pitanju energetske zavisnosti evropskih zemalja. Istovremeno se preispituje mogućnost korišćenja energetske diplomatije u cilju jačanja regionalne saradnje na Balkanu. Rad se oslanja na geopolitički pristup razumevanju međunarodnih odnosa uz korišćenje geografskog i komparativnog metoda.
UTICAJ KULTURE PROBUĐENOSTI NA BEZBEDNOST CENTRALNE I ISTOČNE EVROPE
Authors: Bjelajac Zeljko , Filipovic Aleksandar
Published: November 2020

Predmet ovog rada je da istraži kauzalitet između evoluirajućih kulturnih modela Zapada i društava Centralne i Istočne Evrope koja su od kraja Hladnog rata prihvatala i emulirala te kulturne modele u cilju što bržih integracija u Zapad. Cilj rada je da pokaže na koji način trenutni liberalni konsenzus i trenutna kulturna paradigma, kultura probuđenosti, utiču na horizontalne i vertikalne aspekte bezbednosti ovih država. Korišćene metode su teorijsko-interpretativna, istorijska metoda, metoda analize primarnih, sekundarnih i tercijarnih izvora, metoda naučne analogije. U radu autori daju preciznu sliku dominantne zapadne kulturne paradigme i političko-bezbednosne aspekte, i njihove refleksije na društva postkomunističkih zemalja, sa detaljnijim osvrtom na primer Ukrajine, koja je zbog kompleksnosti situacije i mnoštva događaja istovremeno najreprezentativniji primer. U zaključnim poglavljima autori proveravaju teorijske teze eminentnih naučnika kroz prizmu razvoja i trenutnog stanja političke, kulturne i bezbednosne situacije u postkomunističkim zemljama, ali i definišu kauzalitete između trenutne kulturne paradigme i stvarnog stanja stvari u predmetnom regionu. Na kraju, autori daju kratak pregled potencijalnih bezbednosnih izazova i pretnji u Centralnoj i Istočnoj Evropi kao rezultat opisanih kulturno-društvenih odnosa i sprega.
PODSTICAJNOST I PRINCIP RAZLIKE – ROLS-KOENOVA TRILEMA
Authors: Salatic Stevan
Published: November 2020

Princip razlike, shvaćen u svojoj uskoj varijanti zahtjeva bratstvo kao poseban odnos prijateljstva i solidarnosti koji postoji u društvu. Po principu bratstva nadareni u društvu neće zahtijevati posebne podsticaje kako bi bili produktivniji već će biti empatični prema onim u najgorem položaju i iz tog razloga će i bez podsticaja jednako pridonositi društvu. U pravednom društvu postoji poseban etos ili kultura pravde kojom će se voditi svi pripadnici takvog društva. Središno pitanje kojim se Koen bavi jeste Rolsov princip razlike u kojem se kaže da u društvu postoje ljudi koji su zbog prirodne genetike ili zbog obične sreće u stanju da proizvode više nego drugi, a ti ljudi imaju pravo da budu bogatiji od drugih ako njihova produktivnost i iz nje prouzrokovano društveno bogatstvo utiču da oni u najgorem položaju poprave svoj početni status. Koen smatra da nadarenim ljudima ne treba posebna motivacija kako bi proizvodili više ali i smatra da Rols nije zahtijevao da je neophodno dati posebne podsticaje nadarenim ljudima kako bi oni više pridonosili. Princip razlike predstavlja osećaj solidarnosti između onih bolje pozicioniranih i lošije pozicioniranih, ali je takođe i sredstvo mjerenja kako bi se uspjeh i korist upotrebila tako da i lošije stojećim bude od pomoći.
DISIDENTI U ČEHOSLOVAČKOJ I JUGOSLAVIJI KRAJEM 70-IH GODINA 20. VEKA Uporedna studija na slučaju Povelje 77 i časopisa Časovnik
Authors: Petrovic Nenad
Published: November 2020

Članak predstavlja uporednu analizu delovanja disidenata u Čehoslovačkoj i Jugoslaviji (u Beogradu) krajem 70-ih godina 20. veka. To je vreme posle usvajanja završnog akta Konferencije o evropskoj bezbednosti i saradnji (KEBS) u Helsinkiju. Na osnovu arhivskih podataka Saveznog sekretarijata za inostrane poslove (SSIP) kao i novinskih tekstova (Politika) prikazano je zanimanje jugoslovenske diplomatije i političkih faktora u zemlji za Povelju 77 iniciranu od grupe čehoslovačkih disidenata. U drugom delu članak se bavi delatnošću grupe disidenata u Beogradu a u vezi pojave samizdata Časovnik i reakcijom jugoslovenskih političkih i bezbednosnih faktora na nju.
VEZA IZMEĐU NIVOA OBRAZOVANJA I TERORIZMA
Authors: Stevanovic Kosara
Published: November 2020

Predmet rada je veza između nivoa obrazovanja i učestvovanja u terorizmu i odgovor na pitanje da li postoji direktna veza između nivoa obrazovanja i terorizma. Naime, uprkos mišljenju javnog mnjenja da su teroristi neobrazovani, empirijska istraživanja pokazuju upravo suprotno – da su oni u proseku obrazovani pripadnici srednje klase. Rad najpre sagledava upravo ta istraživanja koja ukazuju na vezu između visokog obrazovanja i terorizma i potom pravi pregled različitih teorija koje objašnjavaju ove rezultate. Nakon toga, autorka koristi teoriju racionalnog izbora i generalnu teoriju napora da objasni svoju tezu da je veza između visokog obrazovanja i terorizma posredovana socioekonomskim uslovima u državi, te da ne postoji direktna veza između nivoa obrazovanja i učestvovanja u terorizmu. Na kraju rada umesto zaključka nude se neke preporuke koje mogu da se primene u sistemu obrazovanja, a u cilju smanjivanja mogućnosti od pojave terorizma.
REAFIRMACIJA PRAVA NEROĐENIH NA ŽIVOT
Authors: Kindjic Zoran
Published: November 2020

U ovom članku autor razmatra etičke i religijske argumente u korist prava nerođenih na život. On ukazuje da su latinski oci, pod uticajem Aristotela, uglavnom bili skloni da zastupaju teoriju o naknadnom ili postepenom oživljavanju embriona, dok gotovo svi istočni oci do danas smatraju da je embrion od trenutka začeća ličnost. Konsekvenca učenja o naknadnom oživljavanju embriona je mogućnost abortusa do trenutka oživljavanja. Zastupnici učenja o reinkarnaciji duše smatraju da je abortus dozvoljen sve dok se duša ne useli u telo. Ukoliko je već embrion ličnost, abortus predstavalja moralni prestup, osim u slučaju da je ugrožen život majke. Autor opovrgava argument da je abortus dozvoljen ukoliko prenatalna dijagnostika ustanovi da će se roditi hendikepirano dete, jer i takva osoba je ličnost.
“I am mostly concerned about their education”: Syrian refugee families and the right to education in Lebanon
Authors: Akesson Bree , Badawi Dena , Elkchirid Abdelfettah
Published: November 2020

Ongoing since 2011, the conflict in Syria is considered to be one of the largest humanitarian crises in modern history. With a large number of Syrian families fleeing the war to resettle in neighboring Lebanon, Lebanon’s education system has become overwhelmed.  In this paper, we will describe how Syrian families and community stakeholders experienced education in Lebanon and highlight barriers to education, suggesting potential interventions to ensure that the right to education is upheld. The findings underscore the multiple challenges that Syrian families face in seeking education for their children. At the same time, the findings point to the importance of education in the lives of Syrian families both in Syria before the war, in their current contexts of displacement in Lebanon, and in their future hopes and dreams for their children.
Changing the Grounds of Play
Authors: Mantei Meighan
Published: November 2020

Through a rights based framework that recognizes and advocates for children’s right to play at school, this paper will show how the students, staff and community of Kitchener elementary school created their playground revitalization project to rethink and restructure their school yard in an educational, innovative, sustainable, and culturally responsive way. Throughout the paper I will argue that the development of a natural outdoor space, grounded in Indigenous knowledge, helped the students and their community nurture a sense of place. Further, I will show how in an area filled with poverty and violence, creating an outdoor space, grounded in local knowledge, supported the community in reclaiming a positive identity. Finally, I will discuss that along with establishing a community gathering space, as the walls of the school were expanded into the outdoors, the teachers and students were given the opportunity to use the natural environment as a vehicle for learning.

Structural Equation Modeling: The Impact of Leader Attitudes on the Innovative Work Behaviour in Real Estate Development Companies
Authors:   University of Latvia, Lauck René
Published: November 2020

Leadership and innovation management are academic disciplines of high interest to scholars for decades. The fast changing and volatile business environment require companies to constantly improve their processes to remain competitive on the market. In particular, real estate development companies significantly benefit from innovativeness as each property development is unique, underlies different construction purposes and laws. Therefore, real estate developers need to bring the developable area in line with the building construction. One major driver to boost the competitiveness of organisations can be found in the individual innovative work behaviour of employees. To benefit from the individual’s innovative work behaviour, leadership embodies a major influence factor. In particular, this article examines how leader attitudes affect the innovative work behaviour of staff members working in real estate development companies. Therefore, the author developed and calculated a structural equation model to examine this relationship. The results from the structural equation modelling show that integrity and loyalty positively and significantly affect the innovative work behaviour of employees in real estate development companies. Consequently, demonstrating loyalty and integrity from leaders towards staff members improves the innovativeness of the entire organisation. Moreover, this research supports the relevance for the trait approach to leadership as leader attitudes contribute to different extents to the innovative work behaviour.
Evaluation of the Significance of the Rankings of Higher Education Institutions
Authors:   University of Latvia, Rūsīte Evija
Published: November 2020

More and more attention is being paid to university rankings – for student and financing attraction, and for research and graduate employment of the respective university – the reputation of universities is becoming more and more important. However, it is important to underline, that only approximately 1–3% of the world universities (200–500 universities) are represented in the most popular international rankings. Previous studies confirm that most international rankings focus predominantly on indicators related to the research function of universities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to search for some possible solutions for more effective research work organisation at the universities and correct reflection of achieved results to raise their position in university rankings. The methods used in this study are scientific publication analysis, investigation of university ranking results with special attention to research organisation at the university and expert interviews and expert survey. Main findings: possible solutions for more effective research work organisation at the universities with aim to raise the position in different university ratings, are innovative encouragement and financial support of academic staff for active scientific publication creation, as well as practical and methodological support in the preparing of high level publication for young scientists. Also significant aspect is support of academic staff for international communication and extensive information on research results.
Oral white lesion in patients post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Are we diagnosing oral chronic graft-versus-host disease correctly?
Authors: Pukhalskaya Tatsiana , Smaller Bruce , Becker Michel , Maly Alexander , Zadik Yehuda , Elad Sharon
Published: November 2020

The current National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus paper excluded
“white hyperkeratotic plaque” from the diagnostic criteria for oral
chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) in order to ensure malignant
transformation is not overlooked. Therefore, an isolated oral white
plaque is recommended to be subjected to biopsy and pathologic
examination. The cases described in this paper shed a new light on the
clinical approach to oral white plaque post hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation. The objectives of this article are to demonstrate that
a white plaque does not contradict a diagnosis of oral cGVHD, and to
highlight the clinical considerations for taking a biopsy.
Organisational culture in Romania: The fine line between success and failure for women in academia
Authors: Ichim George
Published: November 2020

Experiences of discrimination in the academic world discourage women from taking part in contests to occupy higher academic positions. People tend to evaluate academic management based on what they consider to be normal behaviour for both women and men. Because of this, women are often perceived as less appropriately equipped to occupy an academic managerial position than men, especially in fields (such as the academic field) where male stereotypes are regarded as more efficient. This research was intended to evaluate the organisational culture and environment within the largest university centres in Ia?i (Romania) in relation to the accomplishment and execution of academic and scientific tasks by academic staff, as well as measuring their personal and professional satisfaction. We used a qualitative method (the ?life story? interview), as we wanted to identify certain events and de-fining traits of women in academia by focusing on their subjective experiences. For this purpose, we took into account the following three indicators: professional motivation and satisfaction, balancing personal and professional life, and success and failure in the academic world. Focusing on the obstacles women meet in their attempt to reach scientific/academic management positions, we have noticed that one of the major difficulties women in the academic world are confronted with when becoming academic managers is creating a balance between family life and their career. The inter-viewed women are not willing to give up domestic tasks for the benefit of professional tasks, as they are part of the traditional family model. On the other hand, this study shows that these women do not lack motivation to take up a managerial position, but that the norms promoted in the academic environment disadvantage women, despite the fact that the interviewees consider these formal norms to be gender-neutral.

Severe Hypoglycemia, Cardiac Structure and Function, and Risk of Cardiovascular Events among Older Adults with Diabetes
Authors: Echouffo-Tcheugui Justin B. , Daya Natalie , Lee Alexandra K , Tang Olive , Ndumele Chiadi E. , Windham B. Gwen , Shah Amil M. , Selvin Elizabeth
Published: November 2020

Objective:
To
assess the association of severe hypoglycemia measured at baseline with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) among community-dwelling older individuals with
diabetes, a group particularly susceptible to hypoglycemia.

Methods:
We
included older adults with diabetes from the Atherosclerosis Risk in
Communities (ARIC) Study who attended visit 5 (2011–2013, baseline). Severe
hypoglycemia at baseline was defined using first position ICD-9 codes, from
hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and ambulance calls. We examined
cross-sectional associations of
severe hypoglycemia with echocardiographic indices
of cardiac structure-function. We prospectively evaluated the risks of incident
or recurrent CVD (coronary heart disease, stroke or heart failure) and
all-cause mortality, from baseline
to 31 December 2018, using negative binomial and Cox regression models.

Results:
Among
2,193 participants (mean age: 76 years [SD: 5], 57% female, 32% blacks), 79 had
a history of severe hypoglycemia at baseline. Severe hypoglycemia was
associated with a lower left ventricular (LV)
ejection fraction (adjusted beta coefficient: -3.7 % [95% CI: -5.5, -1.7]), higher
LV end diastolic volume (14.8 ml [95% CI: 8.8, 20.8]), higher E/A ratio (0.11 [95% CI: 0.03, 0.18]), and higher septal E/e’ (2.48 [95%CI: 1.13, 3.82]). In adjusted models, severe
hypoglycemia was associated with incident or recurrent CVD
(incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 2.49 (95% CI 1.4, 4.39]) and all-cause mortality
(HR 1.70 [95% CI 1.10, 2.67]) among those without prevalent CVD.

Conclusions:
Our findings suggest that a history severe hypoglycemia is associated with
alterations in cardiac function and is an important marker of future
cardiovascular risk in older adults.

In Russia, the reform of the regulatory guillotine is being implemented in the field of control and supervisory activity. It should result in a new regulatory system formed according to the principles specified in the key federal laws: «On state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation» (Law on Control) and «On mandatory requirements in the Russian Federation» (Law on Mandatory Requirements) adopted in August 2020. In the field of industrial safety, this process was launched by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation № 1192, which will come into force on January 1, 2021. The main provisions are discussed in the article, which are related to the Law on Control and the Law on Mandatory Requirements. The Law on Control establishes the priority of preventive measures aimed at reducing the risk of causing harm in relation to the control activities, the grounds for carrying out control (supervisory) activities, the types of these activities in the forms of interaction with the controlled person and without such, the procedure for presentation of the results of control (supervisory) activity. The Law on Mandatory Requirements establishes that the provisions of regulatory legal acts should enter into force either from March 1 or September 1, but not earlier than 90 days after their official publication, and their validity period should not exceed 6 years. The drafts of regulatory legal acts developed by the federal executive bodies are subject to regulatory impact assessment. With a view to ensuring systematization of mandatory require ments, their register is kept. The federal executive body prepares a report on the achievement of the goals of mandatory requirements introduction. By January 1, 2021, 10 resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation, 48 federal norms and rules in the field of industrial safety and 9 other regulatory legal acts of Rostechnadzor should be adopted. The drafts of all the documents are already prepared, some of the acts are completing the process of discussion and approval.

Methodological base was developed for assessing the quality of firefighter - saviour combat clothing for use in the Arctic zone. It consists of a mathematical model for calculating the thermal state of special combat clothing in the «man — firefighter’s combat clothing — working environment» system and a chamber climate test methodology with the participation of testers-volunteers. The results of some calculations of the firefighter’s combat clothing thermodynamic state under the climatic factors exposure (negative values of the ambient temperature, wind load), and the fire thermal factors exposure are presented. Calculations were made based on the time and tasks performed, on the basis of actual working conditions of the firefighter. According to the calculation results we can conclude that in the considered range of variation of the environmental parameters of the working environment in the climatic conditions of the Arctic zone, the time of protective action of a multilayer stack of materials and tissues of the firefighter’s combat clothing is determined by the time of reaching of the skin surface limit temperature cooling in the region of the unheated structural elements. In this case the heat flux is not a determining factor. Verification of the model is carried out by comparing the results of experimental measurements and data obtained by calculation. The climate chamber test methodology includes registration in the process of tests of the firefighter’s combat clothing under-suit space thermodynamic parameters and the tester physiological parameters using both special sensors and displaying the results on a computer multiplier in real time mode. In addition, a visual assessment of the firefighter’s combat clothing technical condition at the end of the tests is carried out. Based on the results of the performed studies of the specific firefighter’s combat clothing samples it can be concluded that the developed methodological base allows to perform the objective assessment of the Arctic version of the firefighter’s combat clothing according to the application indicators that determine the quality of the product, and can be used to assess the quality of other personal protective equipment of a firefighter.

To ensure operational stability of the unified gas supply system depending on the seasonal gas demand fluctuations, the underground gas storage facilities are effectively used. Well integrity diagnostics using the advanced logging techniques facilitate timely identification of potential problems (pinpointing cross-flows behind casing, detecting leaks in production casing and other well construction components, locating sustained annulus pressure sources etc.), and, thereby extension of the safe operation life of functioning of the underground gas storage facilities. The results of the complex of field and geophysical studies in several underground gas storage wells are given in this article. Different types of the underground gas storages are reviewed: the ones located in an aquifer, salt dome, and mature field. The diagnostics was carried out based on the complex of downhole logging including a passive acoustic tool. The passive acoustics hardware and software technology can capture and interpret acoustic signals generated by the wellbore or reservoir flows. To recognise and interpret the captured signals, the temporal coherence algorithms, data wavelet filtration, and neural networks are used. The use of this technology allows to significantly improve the safety of well operation. The information obtained is used both in the preparation of industrial safety expert reports and for the development of effective programs for major repairs of the underground gas storage wells located in the depleted gas and water fields, as well as in the salt caverns. Hardware and software technology of passive acoustics is being used in almost all the major oil and gas provinces in the world, receiving recognition from the largest domestic and foreign companies, however, this is the first time that underground gas storage facilities are used to check the technical condition of the wells.

The problem is reviewed concerning the efficiency of inspection control activities assessment. The importance of using a risk-oriented approach for the transition to proactive methods of ensuring the production safety of hazardous production facilities is noted. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop the basic model in terms of using the value of prevented damage as one of the efficiency indicators. The analysis is made concerning the scientific publications from the point of view of the possibility and feasibility of using the Heinrich-Berd pyramid when justifying activities on ensuring industrial safety. The examples of using this approach in solving various practical tasks is given in the article. A methodological approach is proposed related to the assessment of prevented damage as one of the indicators of the efficiency of inspection control activities using the methodology of building the Heinrich-Berd pyramid. In addition to the existing 4-level classification of events in the field of industrial safety, it is recommended to introduce level 5 related to the identification of inconsistencies identified as the result of inspection and control activities. Identified inconsistencies are prerequisites for the events of level 4 of classification. It is assumed that the elimination of the identified inconsistencies (level 5) can potentially lead to the prevention of events at levels 1–4. The formula is proposed for calculating the prevented damage (direct and indirect) considering the ratio between the events of different levels and the level of elimination of the identified inconsistencies. Estimated calculations of the total prevented damage to the hazardous production facilities in the gas industry were performed. The calculations showed the adequacy and practical significance of the proposed approach. This approach, of course, requires testing and confirmation of the assumptions made, but in general shows that the value of the prevented damage can be estimated and used as one of the indicators of the efficiency of the inspection and control activities.

Evaluation of the Possible Integration of Uzbekistan into the EAEU with Reference to the Country’s Joining the WTO
Authors: Olimjonov Odil Olimovich
Published: November 2020

The introduction of a favorable visa regime for Uzbeks will make it easier for them to move not only to work in the union, but also to live. This will allow Uzbekistan, which has a relatively dense demographic position, to effectively distribute its population across the Union countries. In addition, Uzbeks will become full members of citizens, working on equal terms and with the same rights as citizens of other countries. For example, citizens of a member state of the EAEU have the right to work without obtaining a patent, that is, without paying a patent fee. However, they are required to undergo temporary registration (registration) at the place of residence. Of course, it is the law of every country that any person (even as a tourist) must inform the appropriate authorities about their place of residence. The exemption from the payment of patent fees in many respects requires cooperation with the union.

Published: November 2020

The protection of shareholders’ interests has attracted global attention following the corporate developments around the world necessitating disclosure and financial reporting regulations. A sample of 55 firms quoted on NSE was selected for the period of 2014-2018. The study adopted descriptive and inferential statistics. The regression results also show that IFRS disclosures have significant effect on the protection of shareholders’ interests in the selected listed firms in Nigeria at a 5 percent level of significance. The study concluded that there is inverse relationship between the protection of shareholder interests and IFRS disclosures; however, the IFRS disclosures have significant effects on the protection of shareholders in the Nigerian quoted firms. The study recommends that the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria should change its stance on IFRS from adoption to adaptation in order to allow for local accounting standards that reflect the Nigerian environments.
