Aim.The main aim of this research is to overview some main methods of anxiety assessment of animals by the behavioral tests based on the unconditional models. Animal models of anxiety disorders are actively used for studying their etiology and pathogenesis and for their treatment and prevention. This review describes some basic unconditional methods of anxiety disorders assessment in laboratory animals: open field test, light-dark box test / light-dark exploration box, elevated plus-maze and Suok test. The principles of conducting this test, regulated parameters and their link with anxiety-level are described.Conclusion.A modern researcher possesses different methods of modeling anxiety disorders in rodents. The tendency to an in-depth assessment of the behavioral reactions is noted. The use of the described models allows us to reveal and analyze the anxiolytic activity of new pharmacological drugs and non-pharmacological methods of pathological anxiety management. The most important aspect of performing this research is the correct matching of received data and normal and pathological human physiology features.

Published: December 2018

Aim. The study was conducted to determine the informative significance of the uterocervical angle for prediction of preterm birth using the ultrasound cervicometry at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy.Materials and methods.340 pregnant women aged 20-35 were examined at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy using the ultrasound cervicometry and by measuring the uterocervical angle. The interrelation analysis of the pregnancy outcome (preterm birth or birth at term) was carried out depending on the cervical length and the uterocervical angle value at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy. Results. Preterm birth before 37 weeks occurred in 32 patients (9.4%). The average value of the uterocervical angle at 16-20 weeks was 104,2±0,9 degrees in case of preterm birth and 92,3±2,7 degrees in case of birth at term. While analyzing the interrelation of the uterocervical angle value and preterm birth, it was found that the frequency of preterm birth with the uterocervical angle of >105º was 81.2% and 16,9% in case of birth at term (OR 21,333 [CI 8,363-54,418], p<0,05).Conclusion.The uterocervical angle is a prognostically significant criterion for predicting preterm birth with the sensitivity of 81.3% and the specificity of 83.1%. The diagnostic effectiveness of the test was 83,1%.

Published: December 2018

Aim.The research was designed to study the renoprotective properties of erythropoietin derivatives on the kidney ischemiareperfusion experimental model.Materials and methods.The renoprotective properties of asialo erythropoietin (0.4 μg/kg and 2.4 μg/kg 30 minutes before the induction of ischemia) and carbamylated darbepoetin (50 μg/kg 24 hours before the ischemic stimulus) were studied in comparison with erythropoietin and darbepoetin in a series of experiments on male Wistar rats on a 40-minute bilateral model of renal ischemia-reperfusion. The renoprotective properties were evaluated by the results of biochemical markers of acute kidney injury, the dynamics of glomerular filtration rate and fractional sodium excretion, as well as the severity of microcirculatory disorders.Results.It was found that the prophylactic use of asialo erythropoietin (dose-dependent) and carbamylated darbepoetin leads to a decrease in the serum concentration of markers of acute renal damage, an increase in the glomerular filtration rate, a decrease in fractional sodium excretion, and a decrease in microcirculatory disorders.Conclusion.Asialo erythropoietin and carbamylated darbepoetin have the pronounced renoprotective properties and are the promising agents for the prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury.

Published: December 2018

Aim.The research was designed for clinical and laboratory characteristics and treatment of respiratory mycoplasma pneumonia in adult patients hospitalized to the infectious diseases hospital of the city of Krasnodar.Materials and methods.The frequency of occurrence and the nature of the clinical symptoms confirmed by ELISA analysis of mycoplasma pneumonia in 35 patients, who were treated in the State Budgetary Establishment of Public Health Services “Specialized Clinical Infectious Hospital” of Krasnodar, were retrospectively analyzed.Results.Mycoplasma pneumonia in hospitalized patients of Krasnodar is more common in young men during the cold season and occurs in moderate form. When ranking the clinical symptoms, it has been established that the priority signs of the disease are acute onset, febrile temperature, symptoms of lesions of the upper respiratory tract, increased CRP, dry coughing and relative monocytosis in the general blood test that can be considered the suggestive symptoms of the disease. Antimicrobial drugs from the macrolide, fluorinated quinolone and tetracycline groups, either as a monotherapy or in the combination, were prescribed for the patients with mycoplasma pneumonia.Conclusion. The frequency of occurrence and the absence of pathognomonic symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia make it advisable to include an enzyme immunoassay for antibodies to “atypical” pathogens in the examination algorithm of patients with any pneumonia, which will provide more accurate diagnosis and correction of etiotropic therapy.

Published: December 2018

The study of the processes leading to the formation of sinkholes on the surface of the earth on the territory of Moscow began in the late 60s of the last century. To date, 42 karst-suffusion funnels have been identified. Analysis of all the studied city sinkholes with their confirmedassociation with the ancient karst showed that their average size of these forms in the plan is 13.1 m, varying from 1.5 to 53 m. At the same time, all calculations of possible diameters of the sinkholes made during engineering-geological surveys in Moscow are usually reduced tovalues less than 3 m, less often they reach 5 – 6 m. The overwhelming number of specialists speak about the urgent need to change and improve the content of the set of rules in terms of engineering-geological surveys in karst areas. Existing calculation models are often usedunreasonably, often the result is tailored to the “necessary” values for designing engineers and builders. Hazard assessment of modern karstsuffosion processes, carried out on the basis of the “Hazard maps of ancient karst forms and modern karst-suffusion processes” (scale 1:10000) created by the specialists of the Sergeev Institute of Environmental Geoscience RAS and the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgorgeotrest in 2012, which determines the need for regional zoning using more meaningful criteria. The paper proposes a new approach, which takes intoaccount the results of the typification of geological-hydrogeological conditions of 42 karst-suffusion sinkholes formed in Moscow. In this case, the hazard prediction is carried out on the basis of an analysis of natural conditions, where a hazardous process has already beenimplemented with access to the surface in the form of such sinkholes.
ABOUT MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL LOSSES OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY AS A SCIENCE IN POST-REVOLUTIONARY RUSSIA (AFTER 1991)
Authors: Trofimov V. T. 
Published: December 2018

Five fundamental losses of engineering geology as a science in the Russian Federation are characterized. The first of them is the transformation of the Engineering-geological Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, established in 1988, into the Institute of Geoecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1996. As a result, the phrase "engineering geology" has ceased to appear in the structure of organizations of the RAS. The second loss is the transformation of the journal “Engineering Geology”, created by Academician Ye.M. Sergeyev in the structure of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1979, in the journal “Geoecology”, the first issue of whichwas published in 1993. As a result, engineering geology has lost the main theoretical-methodological, methodical and factual periodical organ. After that, the title of the journal “Geoecology” is put in all the references in articles and books. In 2000, at the elections to the Russian Academy of Sciences, a geologist was chosen as a vacant member of the corresponding member in the specialty “engineering and environmental geology”, whose name is not known by scientific studies either in theory or in the methodology of engineering geology. As a result, now in the RAS there is neither an academician, nor a corresponding member in the specialty “engineering geology” (its third fundamental loss). As the fourth loss, the sad fate of the All-Russian Institute of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology (VSEGINGEO), the main institute in the system of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, is described, and the fifth is a similar situation with the Production and Research Institute for Engineering Surveys in Construction (PNIIIS) — previously a scientific and methodological center not only in matters of engineering and geological surveys, but also the entire system of engineering surveys in the country.
The Legal Status of Cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation
Authors: Sidorenko E. L. 
Published: December 2018

The paper focuses on the definition of the legal status of the cryptocurrency in the framework of the current Russian legislation. The subject of the research is the principal scientific and practical approaches to determining the object of civil rights and the object of acquisitive crimes in terms of their adaptability to cryptocurrencies. The purposes of the work were the search for a universal algorithm for resolving civil disputes related to the turnover of the crypto currency, and the qualification of the virtual currency theft (fraud). By using historical, comparative legal and dialectical methods as well as the content analysis method parallels between cryptocurrencies and individual objects of civil rights (a thing, property rights, other property) were drawn, and a number of options for qualifying the actions related to the non-repayable withdrawal of the cryptocurrency were proposed. Finally, the paper analyzes the draft laws prepared by the RF Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and presents the author’s vision of the prospects for legalizing the cryptocurrency as an object of civil rights.
Risk-Deformed Regulation: What Went Wrong with NFPA 805
Authors: Gallucci Raymond HV 
Published: December 2018

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805 was incorporated into Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations to allow commercial nuclear plants to transition their existing, deterministic fire protection licensing bases to ones that are “performance-based and risk-informed.” Both the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the commercial reactor industry championed this major leap forward in “risk-informed regulation.” However, hidden behind all the “success” are compromises and manipulations that were necessary to make this “work,” as revealed in this article. It is written by a former employee of the NRC (views do not nor ever did represent an official position), the first to receive a PhD on a thesis specifically related to fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) in nuclear plants, and later hired in 2003 as the expert in fire PRA for the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). He participated in the NFPA-805 program from the start in 2005 until mid-2014. The perspectives here cover that time period, with some extended time specific to issues that the interested reader can find detailed in “Risk-Deformed Regulation: What Went Wrong with NFPA 805” http://vixra.org/pdf/ (access latest version of entry 1805.0403).NFPA 805 will have been “successful” in that adopting plants are as safe as or safer than before, at a minimum having at least become more knowledgeable of potential safety weaknesses. Plants that made effective changes will be safer than before, although “effective” conveys that some changes only may have “seemingly” reduced risk. If such changes were prompted by questionable risk-reduction credits such as those cited later in this paper, then perhaps actual risk-reduction changes that could have been made were not. At worst, the plant merely missed an opportunity to become “safer,” a consequence of the problems with “risk-deformed regulation.”

Image Denoising with Modified Grey Wolf Optimizer
Authors: ARDAÇ Hüseyin Avni , ERDOĞMUŞ Pakize 
Published: December 2018

In this study, image denoising has
been realized with with the one of the recent Nature-Inspired optimization
algorithms, Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO). GWO is one of the recent most studied
continous optimization algorithm which performs better than the other
algorithms. In this study, ten test images have been selected and gaussian noise has been added with some variance values. After the noisy images have been attained,
these noisy images have been filtered with convulation in spatial domain. Filter
coefficents have been trained with GWO, Modified Grey Wolf Optimizer(MGWO) and
Genetic Algorithm(GA). Weiner filtering is also applied on the images for image
denosing. The results show that Weiner Filter outperforms GWO trained filters
on most of the images. MGWO performance
is better then GWO and the results show that MGWO can also be used as an
alternative method for image denoising. In the future studies, adaptive MGWO
can be enhanced for much more succesfull image denoising process.
Metodologias colaborativas não extrativistas e comunicação: articulando criativamente saberes e sentidos para a emancipação social
Authors: Fasanello Marina Tarnowski , Nunes João Arriscado , Porto Marcelo Firpo 
Published: December 2018

Este artigo discute a proposição de metodologias colaborativas não extrativistas e sua relação com a comunicação a partir da obra de Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Partindo de autores como Orlando Fals Borda e Paulo Freire, Santos questiona as metodologias qualitativas que extraem conhecimentos apartados das lutas sociais e não reconhecem os saberes dos sujeitos investigados. A partir desse referencial e de uma pesquisa sobre documentários produzidos no contexto das lutas sociais contra os agrotóxicos e pela agroecologia, buscamos levantar possibilidades metodológicas relacionais que apontem para processos de co-labor-ação e co-criação. A construção de novas narrativas e conhecimentos dilui fronteiras entre ciência e arte, ao mesmo tempo que resgata e avança na perspectiva freiriana da comunicação enquanto um tornar comum. Entrevistas narrativas e contação de histórias da literatura oral são exemplos dados no artigo que apontam para uma abordagem teórico-poética como alternativa.

Published: December 2018

A nota apresenta um histórico do debate público sobre violência e criminalidade e mostra a necessidade de retomar o debate ao seu nível anterior, tratando o tema não só como uma questão de segurança pública, mas também de saúde. Reafirma que é preciso enfrentar o contexto social em que jovens se matam mutuamente, que criam um inimigo odiado e desumanizado. Faz uma crítica à polarização em curso no país, na qual a possibilidade de ter compaixão pelo sofrimento do outro desapareceu. Sugere iniciativas que podem ajudar a enfrentar a disseminação do etos guerreiro, consolidando a segurança pública baseada na cidadania. E relembra que enfrentar a violência é enfrentar as assimetrias causadas por dominações autoritárias, seja pelo Estado, seja por facções criminosas.

Estimation of Snow Reserves in Watercourses in the Arctic Region
Authors: Vasilevich I. I. , Chernov A. A. 
Published: December 2018

For a reliable estimate of snow reserves in theArctic Archipelagoproper allowance must be made for snow accumulation in the areas of relief lowering such as riverbeds, ravines and canyons. As applied to calculating the water yield from the catchment area, unaccounted reserves in the channels may be even larger than recorded. For thickness of the snow cover on similar objects measuring was used Picor-Led ground-penetrating radar. Test measurements of the thickness of the snow cover performed both by radar and manually showed good repeatability of measurements. Data on snow reserves in the catchments of the Mushketov and Amba rivers were obtained using the radar method for northern part of Bolshevik Island in spring 2017.Measurements results has revealed significant differences in the amount of snow reserves between the plateau sections and the river valleys. The thickness of seasonal snow cover in the riverbeds and canyons varied widely and reached10.5 metersdepth. The average values of snow thickness cover on the plateau and in the riverbeds of the Mushketov and Amba rivers were 0.37, 1.80 and1.86 mrespectively during the period of maximum snow accumulation. Our estimates showed that snow deposits in riverbeds have specific snow reserves 6.5–7.5 times higher than specific snow reserves on the plateau. In addition,
