LEGAL BASIS FOR ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT IN UZBEKISTAN

In modern times, the further development of market relations is a multifaceted business phenomenon that affects the state and public life. The degree of maturity of the business. In the public mind and in practice this sphere of activity is associated not only with the production of goods, works and services but also investment in industry, agriculture, construction, etc. Uzbekistan has established a significant legal and regulatory basis, which aims to further encourage business activity and ensure the rights and legitimate interests of entrepreneurs

Economic assessment of a wood building: Life cycle cost and key stakeholders’ decision-making

The strong trend in urbanization and population growth rises building construction demand following with increased contribution to the global environmental impact. Wood construction is considered to be a key solution to future cities with greater environmental performance and it has the highest potential of meeting all three sustainability criteria, including environmental, social and economic benefits. Therefore, the question of cost-efficiency of wood buildings as the main alternative to traditional construction to combat climate change is at the front of construction development. The aim of this thesis is to assess economic efficiency of a wood building and add to the literature related to the economic optimization strategy of modern wood construction. In order to get deeper knowledge of wood construction development, the thesis examines the construction industry key stakeholders’ decision-making aspects. The thesis proposes a research methodology based on the integration of two approaches. First, Life Cycle Cost (LCC) assessment method is performed on the case of a wood building to demonstrate the impact of different cost indicators on building’s economic efficiency. Further, the LCC method involves economic performance assessment to examine the cost competitiveness of a wood building compared to a concrete building. Second, the thesis conducts the online survey and individual interviews with the construction industry key stakeholders to determine what potential benefits and obstacles of wood buildings influence stakeholders’ decisions to implement wood construction. The thesis summarizes three main study results. First, the Life Cycle Costs assessment indicates cost-reducing opportunities for wood building related to material’s lightweight, prefabrication, and fast installation, which allow decreasing the construction costs. Whereas, recycling and reuse advantage of wood building materials at the end-of-life bring income generation opportunity and impact on the overall cost-efficiency of the wood construction. These results show that wood buildings are able to demonstrate economic efficiency throughout the life cycle. Next, the economic performance assessment reveals the minimal difference in the Net present value of costs for the wood building compared to the concrete building. The similarity in economic performances is due to quick wood construction period, adjusting the timing of revenue flow and additional income resulting from wood component reuse, recycling, and energy recovery. These indicate the cost-competitive opportunities for wood buildings in comparison with alternative buildings. Lastly, the results of the online survey and individual interviews confirm that key stakeholders seem to recognize potential benefits of wood buildings and demonstrate growing interest towards the wood construction practice. However, the long-term prevalence of traditional materials in the industry, as well as inconsistency in the academic literature, indicated as obstacles influencing stakeholders’ decision-making to adopt wood in building construction. Based on the thesis results, three suggestions for continuing this study are put forward. First, further research is required to demonstrate the LCC method as involving tool to bring the knowledge about the interdependence of building’s economic aspects. Second, to improve the knowledge on correlating processes contributing to the economic performance of wood buildings, more case studies need to be examined. Third suggestion stresses the need for further research to communicate the knowledge concerning wood buildings technical and economic performance to the construction industry stakeholders

Participation of Province lands in the Development of Women’s Gymnasic Education in Perm Province in the Second half of the XIX - early XX Centuries

The process of modernization of society is associated with the development of female education in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. The problem of the viability of these educational institutions was related to their funding, which the state entrusted to society. The zemstvos undertook to provide female secondary schools as suppliers of teaching staff for zemstvo schools. The analysis of subsidies by the Perm provincial zemstvo of women’s gymnasiums allows us to show the specifics of the modernization of the post-reform period in the field of education.Процесс модернизации общества связан с развитием женского образования во второй половине XIX – начале XX вв. Проблема жизнеспособности этих учебных заведений была связана с их финансированием, которое государство возложило на общество. Земства взяли на себя обязательства по обеспечению женских средних школ как поставщиков педагогических кадров для земских училищ. Анализ субсидирования пермским губернским земством женских гимназий позволяет показать специфику модернизации пореформенного периода в области образования

Interrelations of mitochondrial fragmentation and cell death under ischemia/reoxygenation and UV-irradiation: Protective effects of SkQ1, lithium ions and insulin

AbstractMitochondria-targeted antioxidant 10-(6-plastoquinonyl)decyltriphenyl-phosphonium (SkQ1) as well as insulin and the inhibitor of glycogen-synthase kinase, Li+ are shown to (i) protect renal tubular cells from an apoptotic death and (ii) diminish mitochondrial fission (the thread-grain transition) induced by ischemia/reoxygenation. However, SkQ1 and LiCl protected the mitochondrial reticulum of skin fibroblasts from ultraviolet-induced fission but were ineffective in preventing a further cell death. This means that mitochondrial fission is not essential for apoptotic cascade progression

Comment on "CAWSES November 7-8, 2004, superstorm: Complex solar and interplanetary features in the post-solar maximum phase" by B. T. Tsurutani, E. Echer, F. L. Guarnieri, and J. U. Kozyra

Recently Tsurutani et al., (2008) (Paper 1) analyzed the complex interplanetary structures during 7 to 8 November, 2004 to identify their properties as well as resultant geomagnetic effects and the solar origins. Besides mentioned paper by Gopalswamy et al., (2006) the solar and interplanetary sources of geomagnetic storm on 7-10 November, 2004 have also been discussed in details in series of other papers. Some conclusions of these works essentially differ from conclusions of the Paper 1 but have not been discussed by authors of Paper 1. In this comment we would like to discuss some of these distinctions.Comment: Submitted for publication in Geophysical Research Letter
