A STUDY OF EXTREMISM AS A COMPLEX INTER-BRANCH CONCEPT
Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate extremism as a complex inter-branch concept which complicates law enforcement practice.
Methodology: This is an analytic-dialectical research whose data are obtained through the analysis of historical, legal and sociological texts and data.
Main Findings: When defining extremism in the basic law of anti-extremist legislation, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the phenomenon, the concept of which should be formulated, is manifested in different spheres of social and political life. In conclusion, extremism creates an ideological basis for terrorism, but the acts of terrorism go beyond the concept of extremism.
Applications: This article can be used by regional schools, cultural organizations and universities.
Novelty/Originality: In this study, correlation between the phenomena of terrorism and extremism has been studied on the basis of definition for terrorist act given in part 1 of article 205 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation
Определение полисорбата 80 в биофармацевтических препаратах с помощью оптимизированной колориметрической методики
Objectives. We hereby describe an improvement of a previously developed quantification technique for polysorbate 80 in biopharmaceutical formulations (darbepoetin alfa and eculizumab) and report the validation of the new approach.Methods. Polysorbate was isolated from analyte samples by protein precipitation using an organic solvent, followed by supernatant evaporation in vacuum. Polysorbate was derivatized using a ferric thiocyanate reagent and extracted into an organic phase; the relevant optical density measurements were performed.Results. We established the optimal conditions for each step of the analysis procedure. The accuracy was 97–102% in the tested analytical range, the relative standard deviation did not exceed 5%, and the limit of quantification was 0.01 mg/mL.Conclusions. The reported approach is highly sensitive; polysorbate isolation and quantification do not depend on the matrix or, most importantly, the protein.Цели. В данной работе была усовершенствована ранее разработанная методика определения полисорбата 80 в биотехнологических препаратах (дарбэпоэтин альфа, экулизумаб), а также проведена ее валидация.Методы. Полисорбат извлекали из пробы осаждением белка органическим растворителем, затем выпаривали супернатант в вакууме. Полисорбат дериватизировали оптимизированным железо–тиоцианатным реагентом; дериват экстрагировали в слой органического растворителя и измеряли оптическую плотность.Результаты. Были установлены оптимальные условия для каждой стадии методики. Правильность находится в диапазоне степени извлечения 97–102%, относительное стандартное отклонение составляет не более 5%, предел количественного определения методики 0.01 мг/мл.Выводы. Представленная методика имеет высокую чувствительность. Извлечение и определение полисорбата не зависят от матрикса пробы – прежде всего, от присутствующего белка

THE EGALITARIAN PRINCIPLES OF THE OLD BOHEMIAN STATEHOOD AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM
Purpose: The article is devoted to the study of egalitarian principles of medieval Czech statehood and the legal system.
Methods: The authors pay special attention to the peculiarities of family self-government of the Czech communities, the institution of hazing in land law and the mechanism of reconciliation as an alternative to the death penalty.
Findings: The paper proves that tribal remnants of the customary law of the ancient Czech people in the medieval era contributed to the preservation of egalitarian democratic principles of public administration and justice
THE SERBIAN PEOPLE AND THE STATE TO THE TURKISH CONQUEST: THE EXPERIENCE OF HISTORICAL-LEGAL RESEARCH
Purpose: The article analyzes the hypotheses about the Carpathian and Azov ancestral home of the Serbian tribes and the political role of the territory of ancient Raska in the formation of medieval Serbian statehood via comparative legal and historical methods.
Methodology: The methodological basis of this study is the dialectical method of cognition of social and legal phenomena and the concepts in their development and interdependence. Data was obtained from scientific, historical, and legal documents.
Main Findings: The drafters of the Law sought to overcome the disparity in court proceedings and bring legal norms into a certain system, taking into account the needs of feudalism. The author comes to the conclusion that the preservation of Serbian ethnic identity influenced the restoration of statehood in the XIX century due to the spiritually and economically self-governing zadruge.
Applications: This research can be used by historical organizations, educational organizations as well as by history scholars.
Novelty/Originality: Serbian people and Turkish conquest has been studied using historical-legal documents
Synthesis of technetium hydride TcH at 27 GPa
In this work, we synthesize and investigate lower technetium hydrides at
pressures up to 45 GPa using the synchrotron X-ray diffraction, reflectance
spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations. In the Tc-H system, the hydrogen
content in TcH phases increases when the pressure rises, and at 27 GPa we
found a new hexagonal (hcp) nonstoichiometric hydride TcH. The
formation of technetium hydrides is also confirmed by the emergence of a new
reflective band at 450-600 nm in the reflectance spectra of TcH samples
synthesized at 45 GPa. On the basis of the theoretical analysis, we proposed
crystal structures for the TcH (TcH) and
TcH (TcH) phases previously obtained at 1-2 GPa. The
calculations of the electron-phonon interaction show that technetium hydrides
TcH do not possess superconducting properties due to the low
electron-phonon interaction parameter ()
ROLE OF TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR ALPHA IN IMMUNE PATHOGENESIS OF DIFFERENT DISEASES AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR EVOLVING ANTICYTOKINE THERAPY WITH MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (generally known as cachectin) was noted as a hallmark since the time of its discovery and still retains its position as one of the most intensely studied molecules in the field of biomedicine. TNFα is considered a prototype molecule of the family which, on the one hand, plays an important role in regulating normal differentiation, growth and metabolism of various cells, and on the other hand, acts as mediator of inflammatory processes in various human diseases. Intensive interdisciplinary studies of TNFα biological role and therapeutic use have led to understanding of its polyfunctional effects and establishment of its leading role in immune pathogenesis of diseases, which was the basis for the development of “anticytokine” therapy with highly specific monoclonal antibodies. We aimed for a search of literature in the field of studying TNFα structure and properties, its role under normal conditions, in different diseases and therapy. The literature studies were performed using scientific searching systems and databases. The results are as follows: the role of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in human body in normal and pathological state was considered. Possible TNF-inducible signaling pathways, as well as existing inhibitors based on monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases are described. In conclusion, intensive interdisciplinary studies of TNFα biological functions in normal state and diseases are still relevant today, despite huge knowledge gained on this subject.Undisputable progress in understanding the functional multiplicity of TNFα as a participant in regulation of various physiological and pathological processes in the human body has promoted development of biological agents, i.e., the tumor necrosis factor inhibitors based on monoclonal antibodies, which proved to be highly effective drugs for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, thus being effective and safe biopharmaceuticals

Effects of methyl terminal and carbon bridging groups ratio on critical properties of porous organosilicate-glass films
Organosilicate glass-based porous low dielectic constant films with different ratios of terminal methyl to bridging organic (methylene, ethylene and 1,4-phenylene) groups are spin-on deposited by using a mixture of alkylenesiloxane with organic bridges and methyltrimethoxysilane, followed by soft baking at 120–200◦ C and curing at 430◦ C. The films’ porosity was controlled by using sacrificial template Brij® L4. Changes of the films’ refractive indices, mechanical properties, k-values, porosity and pore structure versus chemical composition of the film’s matrix are evaluated and compared with methyl-terminated low-k materials. The chemical resistance of the films to annealing in oxygen-containing atmosphere is evaluated by using density functional theory (DFT). It is found that the introduction of bridging groups changes their porosity and pore structure, increases Young’s modulus, but the improvement of mechanical properties happens simultaneously with the increase in the refractive index and k-value. The 1,4-phenylene bridging groups have the strongest impact on the films’ properties. Mechanisms of oxidative degradation of carbon bridges are studied and it is shown that 1,4-phenylene-bridged films have the highest stability. Methylene-and ethylene-bridged films are less stable but methylene-bridged films show slightly higher stability than ethylene-bridged films. © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland
