Discourse of corruption in the Russian society

Objective: to study the socio-cultural and legal nature of the corruption phenomenon in a discursive and communicative context.Methods: the methodological basis of the article is the synthesis of the discursive and communicative theory of J. Habermas and W. Krawietz’s integrative theory of legal reality, focusing on the interdisciplinary study of corruption as an interdisciplinary category, taking into account not only objective, but also subjective components. This determined the choice of research methods (comparative, hermeneutic, and discursive methods).Results: corruption as a phenomenon and the interdisciplinary category reflecting it is determined by social, cultural and psychological factors of the legal reality development. Acting as a complex legal archetype, it defines the value attitudes of consciousness and behavior of the legal communication participants, orienting them to carry out actions aimed at satisfying individual (less often group and social) interests, even if they contradict the law. Corrupt behavior is perceived by a large part of the Russian society as a model of hierarchical interaction of the legal communication subjects, the purpose of which, according to the addressee, is to increase the effectiveness of the addressee’s activities. In addition, corruption is becoming an informal means of “liberation” from the legal requirements, rigid and unfair, according to some representatives of the society. In these conditions, the success of the institutional fight against corruption can be achieved only if this fight involves not only improvement of anti-corruption legislation, but also countering shadow norms, creating a system of anti-incentives for corrupt behavior, including ideologically, through the formation of value attitudes of citizens to reject corrupt practices as unpatriotic and harmful to the rule of law and the legal culture of the society as a whole.Scientific novelty: for the first time in Russian jurisprudence, a study of the category of corruption in the communicative and discursive aspect was conducted.Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in scientific and pedagogical activities when considering the issues of the essence and content of the Russian legal reality, in the anti-corruption activities of state and municipal bodies, as well as in anti-corruption education

The proinflammatore cytokine production by peripheral blood cells in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Children and teenagers with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n=100) and conditionally healthy children (n=31) were investigated. The concentration of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IF-γ и TNF-α in supernatants of spontaneous and stimulated by phitogemmagglutinin peripheral blood cells cultures were defined by ELISA. It was found that the spontaneous production of IL-1β, IL-8, IF-γ и TNF-α was more intensive in patients with arthritis in comparison with control, and it was the evidence of important role of these cytokines in pathogenesis of juvenile arthritis. Low mitogenstimulated levels of IL-1β, IL-8 and IF-γ in children with arthritis in comparison with healthy children indicates depletion of immunocompetent cells functional reserves.Обследованы дети и подростки 2—17 лет с ювенильным идиопатическим артритом (n=100) и условно здоровые дети соответствующего возраста (контроль, n=31). Методом ИФА определяли концентрацию ИЛ-1β, ИЛ-6, ИЛ-8, ИНФ-γ и ФНО-α в супернатантах спонтанных и стимулированных фитогемагглютинином культур клеток периферической крови. Выявлена более интенсивная спонтанная продукция клетками крови ИЛ-1β, ИЛ-8, ФНОα и ИНФγ у больных по сравнению с контрольной группой, что отражает участие данных цитокинов в патогенезе ювенильного артрита. Снижение выработки ИЛ-1β, ИЛ-8 и ИНФγ при стимуляции митогеном у детей с ювенильным идиопатическим артритом по сравнению со здоровыми детьми свидетельствует об истощении функциональных резервов иммунокомпетентных клеток

Study of Colloidal Stability and Rheological Properties of Invert Emulsion with Vegetable Oil as the Base for Drilling Fluid

Работа посвящена проведению комплексных исследований коллоидной устойчивости и реологических свойств обратных эмульсий на основе технического рапсового масла и разработке на их основе рекомендаций использования данных экологически чистых компонентов в качестве основы для создания буровых растворов. Исследование свойств эмульсий производилось в зависимости от концентрации масла (от 50 до 90 об.%), концентрации эмульгатора (от 1 до 3 об.%) и температуры (от 20 до 80 оС). Были получены устойчивые инвертные эмульсии, которые сохраняют свои свойства с ростом температуры, что говорит о возможности их практического применения в качестве компонентов для создания экологически более безопасных буровых растворовThe paper is devoted to comprehensive studies of the colloidal stability and rheological properties of inverse emulsions based on technical rapeseed oil and developing on their base recommendations for using these environmentally friendly components as the base for synthesis drilling fluids. The study of the properties of emulsions was carried out depending on the concentration of oil (from 50 to 90 vol.%), the concentration of the emulsifier (from 1 to 3 vol.%) and temperature (from 20 to 80 °C). Stable invert emulsions were obtained, which retain their properties with increasing temperature, which indicates the possibility of their practical application as components for synthesis environmentally safer drilling fluid

Fragmentation and Multifragmentation of 10.6A GeV Gold Nuclei

We present the results of a study performed on the interactions of 10.6A GeV gold nuclei in nuclear emulsions. In a minimum bias sample of 1311 interac- tions, 5260 helium nuclei and 2622 heavy fragments were observed as Au projec- tile fragments. The experimental data are analyzed with particular emphasis of target separation interactions in emulsions and study of criticalexponents. Multiplicity distributions of the fast-moving projectile fragments are inves- tigated. Charged fragment moments, conditional moments as well as two and three -body asymmetries of the fast moving projectile particles are determined in terms of the total charge remaining bound in the multiply charged projectile fragments. Some differences in the average yields of helium nuclei and heavier fragments are observed, which may be attributed to a target effect. However, two and three-body asymmetries and conditional moments indicate that the breakup mechanism of the projectile seems to be independent of target mass. We looked for evidence of critical point observable in finite nuclei by study the resulting charged fragments distributions. We have obtained the values for the critical exponents gamma, beta and tau and compare our results with those at lower energy experiment (1.0A GeV data). The values suggest that a phase transition like behavior, is observed.Comment: latex, revtex, 28 pages, 12 figures, 3tables, submitted to Europysics Journal

Anglicization of the French Language and Gallicization of the English Language at the Level of a Phraseological System

This article is a continuation of the authors’ research, the first results of which were published in the article “Pride and Prejudice”: the Anglicization of the French Language and the Gallicization of the English Language (2018). This time, the vector of consideration of two historically interdependent phenomena, the interactional nature of which continues for 900 years (from the conquest of England by the Normans to the end of World War II) of the anglicization of the French language and the gallicization of English, became the level of the phraseological system. The purpose of the article is to state the mutual enrichment of national phraseological funds and the replenishment of the system of images. The interaction of English and French in the field of phraseological borrowing is due to the fact that phraseological borrowing is the result of the interaction of these two languages and the history of two peoples, including the formation and development of their literature. The duration of language contact has provided the ability to perceive emotional images in which reality is displayed, even in the presence of different mentalities and different national traits

Anti-corruption interaction of the subjects of educational process

Objective: to determine the possibility of anti-corruption interaction of parents as subjects of educational process with teachers of educational institutions in the light of the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standards for Compulsory Education. Methods: the oretical: analysis of the practice of psycho-pedagogical interaction of educational process participants, summarizing of facts; empirical: interview, questionnaire, survey. Results: basing on the analysis of the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard on comprehensive development and upbringing of the child's personality, opportunities to involve parents into the educational process, the techniques are proposed to struggle against corruption in educational sphere; the conclusion is made about the inconsistency between the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard on comprehensive development and upbringing of the child's personality and the possibilities of educational establishments to provide conditions for such development. Scientific novelty: the authors identified apparent contradictions between the educational goals of the educational process and combating corruption in the educational environment. In educational activities, preference is often given to achieving the goals of anti-corruption activities, which is optional, and not the main educational function. The contradiction is vivid between education as purposeful teaching process and managing the educational activity. Practical value: the main provisions and conclusions of the article may be used in scientific and educational activity when viewing the issues of anti-corruption campaigns in educational sphere

Effectiveness, safety, and endothelial function effects of atorvastatin lipid-lowering therapy in coronary heart disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Aim. To study lipid-lowering and pleiotropic atorvastatin effects on lipid metabolism, endothelial function, fibrinogen level in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients who underwent myocardial revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention). Material and methods. The study included 40 CHD patients who underwent successful coronary angioplasty and stenting. Inclusion criteria were: primary hyperlipidemia with total cholesterol (CH) level >4,5 mmol/l, low-density CH (LDLCH) level >2,5 mmol/l, and triglycerides level ≤3,5 mmol/l. Initial atorvastatin dose was 20 mg/d. Endothelial function was assessed in reactive hyperemia test, with calculation of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDVD) parameter. Carotid artery ultrasound, with intima-media thickness assessment, was performed.The participants were examined at baseline and after 26 therapy weeks. Results. By the end of 14-week therapy period, target LDL-CH level <2,5 mmol/l was achieved in 56% of the patients, and by the end of Week 26 – in 74%. Mean EDVD was 2,8±1,23 at baseline and 2,984±0,881 26 weeks later (р=0,12). Baseline and control negative EDVD percentage was 56,5% and 34,78%, respectively. Therefore, long-term atorvastatin therapy was associated with improved EDVD, decreased negative EDVD percentage, and improved vasoactive endothelial function. Atorvastatin dose of 20 mg/d caused no clinically significantly adverse events during 26-week therapy course. Conclusion. Lipid-lowering therapy with atorvastatin is highly effective and safe. Due to its pleiotropic action, the medication should be used in patients after myocardial revascularization
