Authors: Nosov S I , Bondarev B E , Cherkashin K I 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The analysis of different approaches to agricultural land reallocation implemented in several countries leads to the proof that the current methods of preserving valuable agricultural land in Russia are not effective and that the cancellation of compensation of agricultural production losses had led to some negative consequences. The authors developed a new methodology of allocation and preservation of the most valuable agricultural land and carried out calculations of their areas in all federal districts of the European part of the Russian Federation, which includes the most part of arable land in the country. Based on that was developed a new approach to land reallocation and economic regulation of that process.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
As thousands of years ago, now Tuvan arats-pastoralists keep seven types of livestock (sheep, goats, cows, horses, yaks, camels, deer), each of which takes a certain place in the diet of population. The natural areas of Tuva are perfect for transhumance. Reforms in the 1990s led to the collapse of state farms, in the absence of work in rural areas, the population engaged in the Tuvan traditional type of livestock breeding – transhumance, mainly sheep, goats and cattle of local breed. For a large number of the rural population of Tuva, animal husbandry has become a socially important and vital activity. Now there are more livestock in Tuva than during the industrialization of agriculture in Soviet times. However, Tuva has not developed an effective mechanism for the sale of livestock products and its further processing which would increase the income of shepherds’ families. For the first time on the basis of the complex analysis of animal husbandry in Tuva the structure of expenses and income of an average livestock farm is defined, also its economic efficiency is calculated. It was concluded that animal products, such as milk, wool and skin, economically viable in the Soviet period, currently do not generate income because of absence of organized animal products collection points, and the economic efficiency of livestock farms nowadays is achieved only through the production of ovine and bovine meat.
Ecological conditionality of population’s diseases
Authors: Danilova Z A 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the impact of polluted atmospheric air on the morbidity and mortality rate of the population. The ecological conditionality of population’s diseases and mortality in the Russian Federation has been revealed. The regions of the Russian Federation were ranked into relatively ecologically “clean” and “polluted” areas, on the basis of which the significant difference in indicators of health and mortality of the population have been defined. In environmentally unfriendly areas, lower health outcomes and higher mortality rates have been noted. The correlation between emissions of solid particles, carbon and sulfur oxides, nitrogen dioxide and risks of cardiovascular system diseases, respiratory organs, congenital anomalies, neoplasms in the Russian Federation and the Baikal region has been calculated. In contrast to the country as a whole, the region has higher correlation coefficients of individual diseases and atmospheric pollution. A high degree of correlation between carbon monoxide emissions and diseases of the respiratory system, blood circulation and congenital anomalies in the Irkutsk region has been revealed. There is a positive correlation between emissions of solid particles and congenital anomalies in Buryatia.
The role of international infrastructure projects in sustainable social and economic development of the border areas (the case of Russia and Mongolia)
Authors: Sh Rygzynov T , Tsydypov V E 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
During the existence of the USSR, Mongolia was in the sphere of political and economic interests of Russia. On the one hand, the decrease of economic relations between Russia and Mongolia, and, on the other hand, the geographical proximity of Russia and China have made it necessary to search for new partners and sources of investment in mining, processing industry, energy and transport, service and tourism. The growing interest of foreign countries in Mongolia and presence of their representatives there undoubtedly speaks of the growing political and economic competition in the region. In the face of the current global geopolitical situation, growth of China’s influence in Mongolia’s economy and infrastructure projects being carrying out within the framework of the New Silk Road Concept, the role of border regions and cross-border interaction is growing. One way to increase the presence of other countries is by attracting investment or directly participating in the construction of new infrastructure facilities. The need to find ways of rational territorial organization of economic activities, using the potential of border areas, strengthening the infrastructure cooperation between the two countries determine the urgency of further research. A large amount of accumulated information on this subject of research and developed research methods, singled out comparable indicators of social and economic development of the regions of Russia and Mongolia allow for a qualitative, comprehensive study.

Abstract
On the territory of the Republic of Buryatia due to global climate change, significant transformations of the natural environment have been observed. Statistically significant trends of increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation with identification of wet and dry periods have been established. In the last 20 years due to the abnormally high air temperatures and the increasing aridity of the territory, the frequency and area of fires have increased, the rate of permafrost degradation on the southern boundary of the permafrost zone in the soils of meadow-steppe landscapes has increased twice.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
A comparative assessment of moisture deficiency in the root zone of the soil based on its water properties has been made. The frequency of precipitation was determined. A reduction in the area of arable land with their transfer to deposits, hayfields and pastures has been proposed. It is shown that the risks of the agricultural sector need to be leveled by irrigated agriculture.

Authors: Grebenshchikova V I , Kuzmin M I , Yu Suslova M , Shtykova Yu R , Doroshkov A A 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Analysis of the ion composition in the water of the Baikal ecosystem (Lake Baikal, the Angara River estuary and 35 tributaries) in the spring and autumn of 2018 has shown that the water from Baikal and the Angara estuary maintains low mineralization (94-98 mg/l) and corresponds to the calcium bicarbonate composition. The average chemical composition of the water from the Angara estuary is within the range of minimum-maximum values of the Baikal water. In the water from some tributaries, mineralization is two-three times higher compared to Baikal and the estuary. The average ion composition of the Baikal water intermediates in the range of minimum-maximum values of the studied tributaries. Microbiological studies have shown that the average number of hygiene indicator microorganisms in the water from the tributaries is much higher than in Baikal and the Angara estuary. Unlike the tributaries, the water from Baikal and the Angara estuary contain less number of organotrophic microorganisms. The most extensive Baikal tributaries, which drain the significant and status diverse (anthropogenic and natural) areas around Lake Baikal, definitely have a negative impact on the lake. However, many smaller rivers and streams flowing into Baikal, as well as horizontal and cyclonic currents existing in Baikal, preserve its status as the site with pure drinking water, but only in the pelagic zone of the lake.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This article presents the results of research on the sintering of molybdenite concentrate with magnesium-containing natural additives — brucite (Mg(OH)2) and magnesite (MgCO3). Physical and chemical properties of initial materials were studied. The thermodynamic assessment of the interaction of molybdenum with hydroxide and magnesium carbonate in an oxidizing medium is given. The process of thermochemical decomposition of molybdenum was optimized with usage of cheap magnesium-containing minerals to form molybdate and magnesium sulfate. The developed method makes it possible to reduce the cost of thermochemistry, to minimize the release of sulfur dioxide due to its rapid binding to magnesium sulfate.

Authors: Tsenter I M , Garkusheva N M , Shirapova G S 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The efficiency of water disinfection was investigated using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on ultraviolet (UV) LEDs and high-frequency ultrasound (US) in the presence and absence of persulfate (PS). The hybrid oxidation system {UV+US+PS} was found to be the most effective for inactivating Enterococcus faecalis in a row: {UV+US+PS}>{UV+PS}>{UV+US}>{UV}>{US+PS}>{US}. The effect of US in this hybrid system for Escherichia coli was not observed and the systems {UV+US+PS} and {UV+PS} were equally effective. Complete inactivation (100%) of E. faecalis and E. coli by sonophotochemical method using PS was achieved after 10 - and 7-min treatment, respectively. We suppose that this method is promising for effective water disinfection.
Using the method of chemical dosimetry to evaluate the level of generation of active oxygen forms in advanced oxidation processes based on ultrasound
Authors: Aseev D G , Krasnekov D S 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The widespread use of ultrasound is due to the diversity of phenomena occurring in an ultrasonic field. Ultrasonic vibrations initiate dispersion and emulsification of substances, contribute to coagulation and degassing, affect the processes of crystallization and dissolution. It is known that ultrasound causes various chemical transformations of a substance, including oxidation reactions, reduction, polymerization, etc. Research on the chemical effects of acoustic cavitation is an important task and for this, there are a large number of different chemical dosimeters of organic and inorganic nature. However, the proposed dosimeters have both advantages and disadvantages, including a long analysis time, high measurement errors, cost analysis, the use of expensive equipment. This work shows that the known substance butyl potassium dithiocarbonate can be used as a dosimeter of the effects of acoustic cavitation, in particular, high-frequency ultrasound 1.7 MHz, and has several advantages over the commonly used dosimeters. A large synergistic effect (2.26) was shown in the oxidation of dithiocarbonate from the combined effect of two directed at each other sources of ultrasound.

Abstract
An effect from the introduction of the benzotriazolyl fragments into the structure of thermoreactive resins based on benzotriazols and molar excesses of hexamethylene-bismaleimide was revealed. A change of thermal characteristics and improving mechanical properties and adhesion of the cured thermally glue layers to the surfaces of metallic samples made of Steel-3 were found. Such a conclusion was made from the data of the thermal analyzes and mechanical testes, when compared the samples made of both ‘pure’ hexamethylene-bismaleimide and the ones containing benzotriazolyl fragments.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The object of research is Artemisia jacutica Drob. from Absinthium section, Asteracea family. The aerial part of A. jacutica was collected in Buryatia in 2017-2018. In this research we identified three types of terpenoid-containing structures: nonspecialized parenchyma cells with the inclusion of essential oils’ droplets, schizogenous intercellular space and essential oil glands. Also, we isolated the essential oil from the aerial part, and identified its component composition using GC-MS method. The dominant components were γ-eudesmol, chamazulene, neryl-3-methylbutanoate, neryl-isobutanoate and geranyl-3-methylbutanoate. Using IR-spectroscopy we made the screening of the sum of extractives for the presence of γ-lactones in water, ethanol and chloroform extracts. Then, the quantitative content of the total sum of sesquiterpene lactones from samples collected in 2017 and 2018 was 1.13±0.04 % and 1.05±0.07 %, respectively. More than that, we identified arglabin in CO2- and chloroform (1:10) extracts using HPLC-UV method. The extract yield was 0.79% and 2.39%, respectively. The yield of arglabin in these extracts was 0.001% and 1.15%, respectively.
Adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by crosslinked cationic konjac glucomannan with different degree of substitution
Authors: Wang Pengyuan , Wang Ruolin , Liu Jianye , Niu Chunmei 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Chromium has numerous industrial applications, such as metallurgy, processing of leather, producing chromic acid, acting as catalyst and electroplating. These activities cause Cr(VI) contamination in air, soil and water resources. Developing efficient and cost-effective adsorbents for removing Cr(VI) is of utmost importance. Crosslinked cationic konjac glucomannan (CCKGM) with different degrees of substitution (DS) 0.226, 0.391 and 0.456, were prepared by reaction of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride, konjac glucomannan (KGM) and epichlorohydrin and used to adsorb Cr(VI) ions from the aqueous solutions. Then the adsorption behaviour of CCKGM to Cr (VI) was explored. The adsorption effect of CCKGM on Cr(VI) is affected by pH, Cr(VI) initial concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature. With the increase of DS, adsorption capacity increased. The adsorption capacity was 31.52 mg/g, 58.82 mg/g and 62.59 mg/g corresponding to DS 0.226, 0.391 and 0.456, respectively. Adsorption can get equilibrium within several minutes and follows Langmuir isothermal adsorption. The process is exothermal and low temperature is favourable for adsorption. CCKGM has potential to be used as adsorbents for Cr (VI).
Romantic Poetry and the TV Series Form: The Rhyme of John Logan’s Penny Dreadful
Authors: Farizova Nina 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe creator of the TV series Penny Dreadful John Logan has stated that he drew inspiration for the first three seasons (2014–16) from English Romantic poetry. Characters in the series read and recite Blake, Clare, Keats, Shelley, and Wordsworth; comment on the nature of poetry; and make emotional connections through poetic affinities. Simultaneously, the structure of the series is gradually revealed to the audience as a pattern of doublings and couplings, of mirrors and parallels—all of which can be associated with the poetic device of rhyme. Rhyming shapes the sensory and cognitive experiences of the audience of the series; it also reflects the order of the diegetic universe, be it a freakish correspondence of incongruous things or God’s plan. Since these aesthetic choices seem to be part of the creator’s highly self-conscious design, the series becomes an adaptation of Romantic poetry, not only directly using the historical Romantic texts, but re-enacting in its organization the epistemological practice that rhyme is for English poetry.
A-05 Gender differences in veterans referred for neuropsychological evaluation in an outpatient neuropsychology consultation service
Authors: Sullivan-Baca E , Naylon K , Zartman A , Ardolf B , Westhafer J 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Objective
Women represent a growing population within the VA Healthcare System about which little is known from a neuropsychological perspective. The present study explored sex differences in veterans presenting for neuropsychological evaluation to delineate trends in demographics, referral questions, effort, and outcome diagnoses.

Method
A database derived from an outpatient neuropsychology clinic at a VA medical center spanning 2013 to 2019 was analyzed (n = 232 women/2642 men). Initial analyses explored demographic features of the full sample. Further analyses separated the sample into younger (n = 836 men, 155 women) and older adult (n = 1805 men, 77 women).

Results
Groups differed in age (t(1,2872) = 10.41, p < .001) and education (t(1,2830) = 6.68, p < .001). Men were older, less educated, and had greater vascular risk factors. In the younger group, men were more often referred for TBI (X2(1,1) = 7.27, p < .01) and women for multiple sclerosis (X2(1,1) = 13.56, p < .01). In the older group, men performed worse on effort measures (WMT IR: t(1,42.24) = 2.36, p < .05; WMT MC: t(1,327) = 2.57, p < .05; TOMM Trial 2: t(1,199) = 2.17, p < .05). Older women evidenced higher scores on GDS (t(1,43.04) = 2.94, p < .01) and were more commonly diagnosed with depression (X2(1,1) = 12.66, p < .01).

Conclusions
Sex differences in demographics, medical conditions, referral question, effort, and outcome diagnoses emerged in a large sample of veterans referred for outpatient neuropsychological assessment. These differences point to important diagnostic considerations for neuropsychologists in VA settings.
B-39 Is the Latent Structure of Neurocognitive Domains Invariant Across Males and Females with Schizophrenia?
Authors: Becker M , Allen D 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Objective
Differences between males and females with schizophrenia have been identified for numerous important disorder-related variables including age of onset, severity, and course, among others. Evidence suggests there also may be differences in intellectual functioning and possibly specific cognitive deficits. This study examined differences in the latent structure of cognitive abilities between males and females with schizophrenia.

Method
Participants included 659 males (age X̄ = 38.25, 64.5% Caucasian, education X̄ = 11.69) and 209 females (age X̄ = 40.52, 55.5% Caucasian, education X̄ = 11.72) with schizophrenia who were evaluated with neuropsychological tests as part of a large multicenter randomized control trial of antipsychotic medications (CATIE). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test four competing models based on prior CFA of the CATIE data. Model accuracy was evaluated using Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA), and Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC).

Results
CFAs were completed for each sex using EQS 6.3. Models included one-factor, five-factor, six-factor, and a hierarchical model in which five factors load on a single factor “g”. The six-factor model was the best fitting for both males and females.

Conclusions
The results indicated that a six-factor model of neurocognition is the best fitting model for both males and females. The results also suggest that the latent structure of cognitive abilities is similar for both sexes. This provides a strong basis for uniform interpretation of neuropsychological domains across males and females, although there may be sex-related differences in patterns and severity of deficit in each domain.
B-54 Insights into a Novel Integrated Screening Clinic: Parent Perceptions of Emotional Functioning in Acute Recovery Phase Following Pediatric Neurocritical Care
Authors: Bradbury K , Wagner A , Leonard S , Williams C , Piantino J , Luther M , Hall T 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Objective
Children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) requiring neurocritical care are at high risk for neurocognitive, emotional, physical, and psychosocial difficulties, collectively known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome. Our study sought to characterize parent ratings of emotional functioning in the acute recovery phase based upon mechanism of injury.

Method
Twenty children (Mdn = 12.6 years, IQR = 9-15; 65% male) were screened as part of a multidisciplinary follow-up clinic 1-month following hospital discharge. Emotional functioning was assessed using PROMIS Parent Proxy Report for Anxiety and Depression. A brief neurocognitive battery estimated presence of cognitive impairment. MANCOVA was used to compare emotional functioning across injury mechanism (high velocity injury [HVI], 65%; fall, 35%).

Results
Groups did not differ on age, gender, and presence of cognitive impairment. After controlling for severity, mechanism of injury had a significant effect on both anxiety (p = .026) and depression (p = .004). The HVI group had mildly elevated anxiety (M = 50.5, SD = 12.2) and depression (M = 54.2, SD = 10.6) scores, while the fall group had anxiety (M = 38.0, SD = 6.2) and depression (M = 39.0, SD = 7.3) scores within normal limits.

Conclusions
In the acute recovery phase following TBI, anxiety and depression symptoms are more common after HVI than falls, even when controlling for severity of injury. The HVI group includes injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents which may have a broader impact on the family and may explain higher rates of emotional distress in this patient group compared to other mechanisms of TBI. Additional research is needed to further explore variables related to emotional functioning following TBI and how they change over the course of recovery.
