A systematic decision support system to objectively evaluate retrospective energy efficiency modelling options
Authors: Botes L.A , Booysen W. , Mathews M.J. , Kleingeld M.
Published: July 2019

Tax incentives are one of the methods used by the South African government to incentivise energy efficiency. One of these incentives is Section 12L of the Income Tax Act (1962), which allows a significant tax deduction as a result of quantifiable energy efficiency (EE) savings. The associated EE savings are calculated by means of baseline models and must be in accordance with the national standard for measurement and verification, i.e. SANS 50010, which is based on international practice. The present study developed a methodology that assists EE projects with incentive applications to objectively evaluate potential modelling options and ultimately select a final model. This methodology is based on the weighted sum method. It is verified by applying it to three actual case studies and is further validated by comparing the results obtained from the case studies to independent results of formal and successful incentive applications. The methodology allows for a transparent selection of a modelling option that is compliant with the relevant tax incentive regulatory requirements and untainted by personal bias.
Non-linear multivariate models for the estimation of global solar radiation received across five cities in South Africa
Authors: Govindasamy Tamara Rosemary , Chetty Naven
Published: July 2019

South Africa continues to lag globally in the adoption of renewable energy systems despite a notable decrease in the cost of applicable renewable energy technologies over the past five years. Most applications of potential solar renewable energy systems are currently in various stages of investigation, leaving this readily accessible resource capacity idle. The present study proposes linear and non-linear analysis of multivariate models for estimating global solar radiation (GSR) received across five cities in South Africa. The significance of this study is to provide effective GSR estimation in the application of solar technologies, while increasing their implementation. The dependency of GSR on meteorological variables such as air temperature, relative humidity and relative sunshine duration was evaluated for January 2007 to June 2018 to realise estimation models for each of the study sites. The Hargreaves-Samani and Angstrom-Prescott empirical models served as the basis for single variable analysis of GSR reliance on each meteorological parameter and their relative variations. The results indicated that the proposed non-linear, multivariate equations perform better than the empirical models as well as linear, single variable regression equations. The suggested models are site-specific and demonstrate a strong correlation to historic GSR values with low, acceptable error indicators. It was also recognised that second- and third-order relationships between the clearness index and multiple meteorological variables provide a more accurate description of GSR for most of the cities under study. These methods are cost-effective, easily accessible and appropriate for the evaluation of the feasibility of solar photovoltaic technologies in South Africa.
Power system inertia in an inverter-dominated network
Authors: Rampokanyo Mpeli , Ijumba-Kamera Pamela
Published: July 2019

Erosion of power system inertial energy due to high penetration levels of renewable energy (RE) sources in a power system is a current teething issue with most system operators everywhere. The main issue is displacement of synchronous generators with inverter-based based generators, as the latter do not provide any inertial energy to the power system. The power system thereby becomes vulnerable to large system events (like sudden loss of a big generator or load) and in an inverter-based system this could result in catastrophes such as total collapse of the whole power system due to rapid rate of change of frequency. This paper focuses on power system inertia as RE penetration levels increase and also explores possible mitigation measures such as demand response techniques.
Conceptualización del Crimen Organizado y su regulación en la legislación Penal Colombiana
Authors: Scheller D`angelo André , Lugo Quiróz Edwin de Jesús
Published: July 2019

Organized Crime, as a current phenomenon, has been studied not only in each country
that suffers these crimes, but also by international laws, which allow us to outline a
concept adaptable to the social reality of each nation. For Colombia, the construction
of this concept has not been an easy task, either due to the negligence of the legislative
body or because of the problems inherent to the conceptual construction of organized
crime (plurality and authorship, permanence in time, among others) as we will see
below.

Authors: Méndez Santos María del Carmen , Pano Alamán Ana
Published: July 2019

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación en curso, cuyo objetivo es delinear el perfil del docente de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) en línea. El análisis llevado a cabo se apoya en datos cuantitativos y cualitativos recogidos a través de un cuestionario en línea que fue distribuido mediante redes sociales (Facebook y Twitter), foros de debate y listas de distribución sobre ELE. A pesar de las limitaciones de la muestra, los resultados ofrecen un primer cuadro del perfil objeto de estudio y confirman que el colectivo que adopta la modalidad de enseñanza de ELE en línea es prevalentemente femenino, de edad entre 35 y 45 años, que escoge este tipo de formación en combinación con la enseñanza presencial por la flexibilidad que supone en términos de gestión de tiempo y espacio. Los datos indican también que esta modalidad de enseñanza obliga a adoptar nuevas estrategias para autopromocionarse en la Red, con el objeto de conseguir el mayor número de estudiantes. Se confirma asimismo la necesidad de pensar en una formación adecuada y en materiales adaptados para estos profesionales.

A prospective, multi-institutional study of perioperative morbidities in the patients of renal cell carcinoma undergoing either open nephron sparing surgery or robotic nephron sparing surgery in fifty cases
Authors: Chandra Mahesh , Wasnik Seema , Karan Shailesh
Published: July 2019

Background: Over the time, the nephron sparing surgery (NSS) has become ‘gold standard’ for treatment of T1a stage renal cell carcinoma (RCC) which saves precious renal tissue. We assessed and compared perioperative morbidities associated with open (ONSS) and robotic nephron sparing surgery (RNSS) in patients of T1a and T1b staged renal cell carcinoma.Methods: This prospective study was carried out from April 2016 to March 2018. A total of fifty (n=50) RCC patients underwent open or robotic nephron sparing surgery. The demographic data and perioperative morbidities associated with both methods of NSS were recorded and comparison of parameters including warm-ischemia time (WIT), hospital stay, perioperative bleeding, impact of renal-pedicle clamping was made in T1a and T1b staged RCC patients.Results: The most common perioperative morbidity was blood-loss and 12% patients had ≥500 ml loss. Significantly less intraoperative blood-loss was observed in RNSS compared to ONSS with decreased blood transfusion (BT), which decreased significantly after renal-pedicle clamping prior to RCC resection. Even In perioperative period, the blood loss was significantly less in RNSS patients. However, the warm ischemia time (WIT) and hospital stay was longer in patients of RNSS compared to ONSS. The WIT was prolonged in T1b compared to T1a lesions, irrespective NSS methods.Conclusions: Although, the most common perioperative morbidity associated with NSS is blood-loss but RNSS had less perioperative morbidities compared to ONSS. The blood loss decreased significantly during intraoperative period after renal-pedicle clamping which resulted into decreased blood transfusion after NSS by either method.
Comparación de métodos de inoculación de Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyder & Hansen, causante del marchitamiento vascular del tomate
Authors: Cardona-Piedrahita Luisa Fernanda , Castaño-Zapata Jairo
Published: July 2019

El tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.), la hortaliza de mayor importancia en Colombia y en el mundo, es atacada por numerosas enfermedades, entre ellas la marchitez vascular causada por Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. La enfermedad produce pérdidas entre el 21 y el 47 % en cultivos en exposición libre y bajo cubierta. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comparar cuatro métodos de inoculación del hongo en plántulas de tomate Sweet Million obtenidas a partir de semilla, sembradas en turba canadiense estéril y medio Murashige &Skoog (MS) y conservadas en condiciones controladas en el Laboratorio de Tejidos Vasculares y del cuarto de termoterapia de la Universidad de Caldas donde se seleccionaron 25 plántulas por cada método de inoculación. Los tratamientos fueron: inyección en la corona de la raíz (T1), inmersión de las raíces (T2), disco de agar en la corona de la raíz (T3) e inoculación in vitro (T4). En la incidencia final de la enfermedad, así como las pruebascomparativas de Duncan, se registraron diferencias significativas (p≤0,001) entre los diferentes métodos de inoculación. La única metodología que produjo el 100 % de incidencia del marchitamiento vascular en un menor periodo de incubación fue la inoculación in vitro. La mayor tasa de desarrollo (r) del marchitamiento vascular se reportó con el método de inoculación in vitro con una tasa de r=0,92, seguido por los discos de agar, la inmersión y la inyección, siendo estas dos últimas las de menor tasa de desarrollo. El método de inoculación in vitro puede ser útil para la selección masiva de materiales de tomate promisorios contra la marchitez vascular. © 2019. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat.
Análisis comparativo de la eficiencia productiva del maíz en Sudamérica y el mundo en las dos últimas décadas y análisis prospectivo en el corto plazo.
Authors: Carvajal Larenas Francisco Erne , Caviedes Cepeda Galo Mario
Published: July 2019

La producción mundial del maíz en el año 2014 fue de 1037.8 millones de toneladas métricas superado únicamente por la caña de azúcar y la producción de vegetales. De ese total, la producción de Sudamérica representó alrededor del 12.1%. El maíz en el mundo es muy importante y será fundamental en el futuro porque cumple muchos roles. Así, es usado para alimentación humana, animal y elaboración de derivados (etanol, almidón, glucosa, maltodextrinas, biogás, biocombustibles, bioplásticos, fertilizantes y más). Actualmente, los principales países productores en el mundo son (en millones de toneladas métricas son) Estados Unidos (361,1), China (215,8), Brasil (79,9), Argentina (33,1), Ucrania (28,5), India (24,2), México (23,3), Indonesia (19,0), Francia (18,3) y Sudáfrica (14,2). Siendo los tres primeros responsables del 63,3% de la producción mundial. En la región, Brasil y Argentina producen cerca del 90% de lo que produce Sudamérica (120). El análisis de productividad y de tendencia en las dos últimas décadas (expresado como variación porcentual del rendimiento agrícola) muestra que la producción maicera de la región sudamericana se ha incrementado en 105.8%, un ritmo de casi tres veces el promedio mundial (36.2%), lo que mostraría una creciente influencia de la región en el volumen ofertado global, las reservas mundiales del grano y su precio internacional. Pese a ello, la región muestra gran variabilidad en cuanto a sus niveles de agro industrialización y de rendimientos productivos agrícolas los que pueden ser superiores a los de países industrializados (sobre 10 toneladas por hectárea) hasta otros tan bajos como 2.12 toneladas por hectárea. El nivel de mecanización, la variedad/ híbrido usado, la topografía del suelo, el tipo de agricultura usada, el ecosistema, serían algunas explicaciones para la variación de la productividad en la región. Sin embargo, países con bajas productividades como Bolivia, Perú y Ecuador contrariamente poseerían gran riqueza genética con posibles aplicaciones alimenticias, farmacéuticas e industriales que aún no se ha aprovechado, por esta razón, Sudamérica puede incrementar su productividad y su influencia estratégica global. Además, considerando que la tendencia de oferta mundial y regional superaría a la demanda, Sudamérica debería analizar el diversificar su industria de derivados del maíz y aprovechar su diversidad genética, sin descuidar por supuesto su seguridad alimentaria. Respecto al precio internacional del maíz, el mismo está sujeto a muchas variables, sin embargo, en un escenario estable la tendencia sería a mantenerse o incluso disminuir levemente en el corto plazo.
Evaluación de la resistencia genética de híbridos de maíz al virus del mosaico de la caña de azúcar (SCMV)
Authors: Zambrano Mendoza José L. , Paz Carrasco Lenín C. , Redinbaugh Margaret G.
Published: July 2019

La resistencia genética es la manera más eficiente de controlar las enfermedades ya que no tiene un costo adicional para el agricultor y no contamina el ambiente. Un cultivo de maíz sano es la regla, la excepción es la enfermedad. El primer paso en todo programa de mejoramiento genético para incorporar resistencia al cultivo es identificar materiales resistentes entre las variedades tradicionales y comerciales, poblaciones mejoradas de alta diversidad genética (pooles), colecciones núcleo y colecciones para estudios genéticos. Para esto es necesario realizar evaluaciones en condiciones controladas donde se inocula el patógeno y se le brindan las condiciones para que la planta se enferme. En caso de enfermedades virales, las técnicas de inoculación incluyen el frotamiento, punción vascular y la utilización de los vectores naturales que transmiten el virus. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) está entre los principales virus que afectan al cultivo de maíz en los valles altos y trópicos de Latinoamérica y alrededor del mundo. En la Estación Experimental Litoral Sur del INIAP se inocularon 32 híbridos comerciales y experimentales de maíz utilizando la técnica del frotamiento en plántulas, con un aislamiento de SCMV colectado en la Estación Experimental Portoviejo del INIAP. Dos semanas después de la inoculación se evaluó la incidencia de los síntomas de la enfermedad en las hojas nuevas. El experimento tuvo tres réplicas biológicas en un diseño completo al azar, con 20 plantas por tratamiento. No existieron híbridos resistentes, lo que indica la necesidad de incorporar genes de resistencia a SCMV en las poblaciones de mejoramiento genético de maíces tropicales de grano amarillo duro de las empresas públicas y privadas.

La variedad se desarrolló utilizando cuatro ciclos de selección, bajo el esquema de medios hermanos. El incremento en rendimiento del Ciclo 4 fue superior en 156% en relación al Ciclo 1. Para la época seca del 2017 se procedió a realizar los cruzamientos dialélicos en ambos sentidos, entre las diez mejores familias seleccionadas del Ciclo 4. Se evaluó las mejores mazorcas y se formó un compuesto evaluado a libre polinización y se obtuvo la F1 o variedad sintética. Actualmente, la variedad sintética es evaluada en campos de agricultores con el testigo comercial para determinar su interacción genotipo ambiente, sus componentes de rendimiento en choclo y seco. Adicionalmente se harán los análisis de proteína total y los aminoácidos Triptófano y Lisina para cada uno de los ciclos de selección.
Comportamiento del SDS localizado en la región interfacial del sistema agua/n-octano. Un estudio usando dinámica molecular
Authors: Parra José Gregorio , Aray Yosslen R.
Published: July 2019

En este trabajo, usando dinámica molecular se determinaron las propiedades interfaciales y el comportamiento del Dodecil Sulfato de Sodio (SDS) ubicado en la región interfacial de los sistemas vacío/agua y agua/n-octano. La tensión interfacial fue estimada con el modelo propuesto por Kirkwood y Buff [23]. A su vez, los espesores de película interfacial fueron determinados usando los criterios 10-90 y 90-90. Además, el área por molécula fue estimado con la variación de la presión superficial en función de la concentración del surfactante. En los sistemas vacío/SDS/agua, el área por molécula del SDS fue obtenida con dos procedimientos diferentes. Los valores fueron 53.3 Ã…2 y 54.3 Ã…2, respectivamente. Para los sistemas agua/n-octano y agua/SDS/n-octano, los espesores de película interfacial aumentan en función del número de moléculas de surfactantes presentes en la región interfacial. Los resultados obtenidos son consistentes con datos medidos por experimentación.

Authors: Zuhdi Syaifuddin , . Kuswardani , Prakosa Andria Luhur , Kurnianingsih Marisa , Astuti Widi , Rahman Rozanah Ab.
Published: July 2019

Purpose of the study: This paper aims to clarify the views of Islamic law on the acts of domestic violence as a consequence of nusyuz (disobedience) and its position under the legislation of Indonesia.

Methodology: This research was conducted by using the library research method. Documentary techniques are used in data collection, primary data is obtained from books, journals, and writings that directly discuss the material or problem under study, and from the secondary literature, which implicitly discusses it and is still quite relevant to be a comparison.

Main Findings: The findings of this discussion revealed that the legislation of Indonesia is very protective of women, which is in line with the Islamic law principle that prioritizes persuasive and not repressive efforts in overcoming conflicts in the household. The compilation of Islamic law does not regulate the beating of wife, but the rule contained in Law No. 23 of 2004 on the elimination of domestic violence prohibits violence in the household.

Applications of this study: This study can be useful for Indonesian people, especially for women and human right activists.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty in this discussion is the enlightenment of the public about the existence of a relationship between Islamic law and applicable law in Indonesia, wherein Islamic law is often not considered to be in harmony with the law in existing discussions.
Caracterização mecânica e reológica de concretos com resíduos de madeira e sílica ativa
Authors: Massarotto Lucas Vinicius , Neves Júnior Alex , Dalosto João Augusto Dunck
Published: July 2019

O concreto é um dos materiais de construção mais utilizados no mundo, mas devido ao seu processo de produção, tem um grande impacto ambiental pelas atividades relacionadas a fabricação e extração de matéria-prima. A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar os efeitos da incorporação dos resíduos de madeira e sílica ativa no concreto a partir da substituição parcial da areia (agregado miúdo) por resíduos de serragem e do cimento Portland por sílica ativa, para produção de concreto com propriedades mecânicas e reológicas satisfatórias. Desta forma, foram produzidas amostras de concreto com substituição parcial de areia por serragem em 5%, 7,5% e 10% do peso total da areia na mistura de referência e, também, amostras de concreto com as mesmas porcentagens de substituições, porém, conjuntamente, com substituição parcial do cimento por sílica ativa em 10% do peso total de cimento. Após a fabricação das seis amostras, foram realizados ensaios de slump test, de absorção por capilaridade e ensaio de compressão simples, com intuito de verificar as variações nas propriedades reológicas e mecânicas em relação ao concreto de referência, constituído por mistura convencional com agregados de areia, brita e cimento. Os resultados apontam que o uso de serragem na matriz cimentícia gera redução da densidade de concreto, funcionando como aditivo retardador natural de pega e, também, produz um concreto com porosidade e propriedades mecânicas satisfatórias em relação ao concreto de referência. Além disso, a sílica ativa controlou a trabalhabilidade e a absorção de água por capilaridade quando comparado ao concreto de referência. Conclui-se, portanto, que os as referidas substituições geram efeitos benéficos no comportamento reológico e mecânico do concreto quando comparado com a mistura de referência.
Data Preparation 101: How To Use Query-By-Example To Get Your Research Dataset Ready For Primetime
Authors: Lazarony Paul J. , Driscoll Donna A.
Published: July 2019

Researchers are often distressed to discover that the data they wanted to use in their landmark study is not configured in a way that is usable by a Statistical Analysis Software Package (SASP). For example, the data needed may come from two or more sources and it may not be clear to the researcher how to get them combined into one analyzable dataset. Fortunately, there is hope. The query facility within database management software (DBMS), such as Microsoft Access, is particularly well-equipped to do the data reconfigurations necessary to get datasets ready for a SASP. Unfortunately, most researchers have either never been exposed to a DBMS or are unaware of the powerful data-transforming queries that they can perform. The purpose of this paper is to introduce researchers to some very helpful and relatively easy to learn techniques for solving common dataset misconfiguration problems. It is presented in three sets of hands-on examples: (1) how to import a dataset from an electronic spreadsheet into a database table, (2) how to use an easy-to-learn DBMS facility called Query-By-Example (QBE) to perform specific data reconfiguration tasks, and (3) how to import the reconfigured dataset from the DBMS into a SASP. The software used is MS Excel, MS Access, and SPSS (originally called Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The examples are presented step-by-step so that the reader can follow along using files downloadable from the authors website
The Contemporary Cambodian Constitutional Enforcement
Authors: Hing Vandanet
Published: July 2019

Studies conducted on the constitutional law-making process have shown that public participation is a key element of the relationship between the government and its citizens, and legitimizes the whole process. The present paper discusses the relationship between the people and the government on the basis of the Cambodian Constitution, both de jure andde facto. As assessments, it takes the 1993 constitutional making process and the public’s participation thereto. This paper aspires to answer the following questions: firstly, how does the constitutional law-making process impact the exercise of constitutional rights in Cambodia, and, secondly, to what extent does public participation play a role in public affairs, especially insofar as the constitution and law making processes are concerned. It further suggests that the concept of meaningful public consultation on constitution and law making should be incorporated in the Cambodian Constitution.
Narrating Human Rights in the Philippines
Authors: Abuso Ma. Rhea Gretchen Arevalo
Published: July 2019

The 2016 national elections in the Philippines have been regarded as the most revealing and consequential democratic practice to the human rights situation in the country for two reasons. First, the overwhelming election of Rodrigo Duterte to the presidency was because of his campaign promise to rid the country of drugs and criminality within “3 to 6 months” through bloody and violent means. Second, the son and namesake of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, whose authoritarian regime in the 1970’s was responsible for countless human rights violations, narrowly lost his vice-presidential bid by a mere 270,000 votes. These turns of events beg the question: how could Filipinos, who experienced a bloody and violent regime at the hands of a dictator, choose to elect national leaders widely associated with human rights violations? This paper addresses this question through the use of in-depth interviews with Filipino college students in key cities in the Philippines in order to describe the Marcos regime from the perspective of the generation that did not experience the period. The research aimed to understand how memories of past human rights violations are formed and shaped, how these memories are crucial to the improvement of the human rights situation in society, and how to ensure that mistakes of the past are not repeated. The study found that widespread revisionist notions about the Marcos regime can be attributed to the absence of meaningful martial law and human rights education in the country.  However, the study also found that young Filipinos regard the social institution of education as the most trustworthy bearer of information on human rights and violent regimes. This highlights the crucial role of schools and educators in promoting human rights in society.
Historical memory preservation of the Russian Orthodox Church contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War

We present the key directions in the activity of the Russian Orthodox Church in preserving and restoring the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War. We consider the main stages and aspects of the church's activity in this direction. The construction of the Great Patriotic War historical memory now occupies a large place in patriotic and civic education. The issues of historical memory and its differences from the actual history in Russia began to work with recent-ly. We also consider various ways of preserving historical memory of the Russian Orthodox Church contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War in connection with the peculiarities of the source base. Also, in the conditions of limited actions of the Russian Orthodox Church as a full-fledged subject of law, in different periods of time certain types of historical memory preser-vation came to the fore. The main areas of activity in terms of preserving historical memory of the Russian Orthodox Church contribution to victory are identified. Among them we highlight the coverage of church activities in the official publication of the Russian Orthodox Church “Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate”, the construction of churches in memory of the war, the biography restoration of repressed priests and believers during the war, co-operative work on museums and museum exhibitions, etc. We also reveal the correspondence of the work content with historical memory to basic Russian values.

Published: July 2019

Development of region image now gains the central importance as exactly because of it the territory becomes well-known and recognizable. Possibilities appear for region’s strengthening and activity manifestation in the domestic and world market. The positive territory image contributes to the improvement of investment climate, improvement and development of tourist infrastructure, increase in revenues of service sector and increase in competitiveness level. In this regard, we consider this subject relevant. We present the scientific review of definitions “image” and “region image”. We allocate the contemporary approaches to a research of region image by means of the comparative analysis. We prove that the favorable natural and cultural region heritage gives all opportunities for region positioning as an attractive investment. We analyze objective, subjective factors and problems for positive region image development. We also describe sights of Yakutia as advertising and the guide for potential tourists as the image potential of the Republic.

Authors: Ognerubov Nikolai Alekseyevich
Published: July 2019

We consider various approaches to understanding and classifying such phenomenon as “iatrogenesis”. Taking into account the specifics of the stated theme, we highlight informational and mental manifestations of iatrogenesis, we identify approaches where these types differ, as well as approaches where they are identical. Due to this, we analyze informational and mental iatrogenesis from the juridical science point of view. We define the reasons for the criminal liability of a medical worker for “classical” mental iatrogenesis as highly controversial. At the same time there is a civil liability, namely, the issue of causing moral harm. In the context of the consideration of informational iatrogenesis, we propose to pay attention to the provisions of Article 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 732 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the provisions of criminal legislation on offenses to which medical workers may be subject, and the provisions of civil legislation on redress for the non-pecuniary damage as a civil liability. The conducted research led to the conclusion that it is impossible to identify informational and mental iatrogenesis from a legal point of view. We substantiate the necessity of conducting work at the legislative level on a clear classification of iatrogenesis as a basis for further research on its individual differentiations, which have legal significance both in doctrinal and practical terms.

Published: July 2019

The article is devoted to the classification of participants in civil proceedings, it also touches on some issues of classification of participants in the commercial judicial proceedings and administrative judicial proceedings. Using logical methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction, General scientific and special scientific methods and techniques knowledge of social phenomena and processes: historical, comparative, system-structural and others, the author concludes that the generally accepted classification of civil process participants is imperfect; based on the study of classification criteria, he proposes to identify new categories of participants in the process, to legislate their rights and obligations, to clarify their names. The author reveals the imperfection of some norms of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation and Code of Administrative Judicial Procedure of the Russian Federation, justifies the need to change them. The relevance of the research topic is justified by the fact that the new procedural legislation sometimes does not fully take into account the classification of participants in the process, which determines the status of the participant, the scope of his procedural rights and obligations, and this is directly related to the constitutional guarantees of protection of rights, freedoms and interests.

Authors: Shishmonin Sergey Vladimirovich
Published: July 2019

In today’s world in a market economy condition and a complex geopolitical situation quite actively began to develop private military companies. However, the activity of these companies is a very urgent problem of legislative consolidation. We show European experience of private military companies legislative regulation. Especially great success in this field has reached the country, which is the main consumer of military companies services - the United States. However, this issue is becoming more and more urgent for Russia. On the territory of Russia there is a kind of “de facto”: private military companies exist, their activities are not regulated, and all this in the conditions of a legislative ban on mercenarism. Therefore, the need for legislative regulation of the military organizations activities expressed by many representatives of state power. The adoption of the law on private military companies would be a very relevant and safe way to legalize the private military companies activities. We show the main directions of possible decisions implementation by representatives of state bodies of Russia. Small steps in this direction have been taken, however, a full-fledged law has not been adopted at the moment, and the prospects for the implementation of bills in this direction are quite vague.

Published: July 2019

The combination of calcium phosphates (CaP) with bioactive glasses (BG) has received an increased interest in the field of bone tissue engineering. In the present work, biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP) obtained by hydrothermal transformation (HT) of cuttlefish bone (CB) were coated with a Sr-, Mg- and Zn-doped sol-gel derived BG. The scaffolds were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The initial CB structure was maintained after HT and the scaffold functionalization did not jeopardize the internal structure. The results of in vitro bio-mineralization after immersing the BG coated scaffolds in simulated body fluid (SBF) showed extensive formation of bone-like apatite onto the surface of the scaffolds. Overall, the functionalized CB derived BCP scaffolds revealed promising properties for their use in bone tissue engineering field.
