Origin of second-harmonic generation in the incommensurate phase of K2SeO4

We show that a ferroelectric phase transition takes place in the incommensurate phase of the K2SeO4 crystal. The ferroelectric character of the IC phase explains the second-harmonic generation observed in the corresponding temperature range.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

Constitutional-Legal and Political Responsibility of Political Parties in the Russian Federation to Electors

Analysis of the legal and political responsibility of officials of a democratically elected state to their constituents. The subjects of the above responsibility may be elected officials of the legislative (representative) bodies of state power. The constitutional status of elected persons exercising public authority on behalf of individuals suggests the possibility of terminating their powers as sanctions only on the basis of the rules of law enshrined in the relevant acts and establishing clear reasons and procedures for liability. The current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for various types of constitutional and legal sanctions

Распространенный аппендикулярный перитонит: лапароскопический или открытый доступ — критический анализ

The perforative acute appendicitis with the development of diffuse peritonitis increases the incidence of postoperative complications to 47%, and mortality to 3%. Mortality in the case of the development of diffuse purulent peritonitis makes 4.5-58%, and it can exceed 70% in severe forms of diffuse peritonitis with the development of infectious-toxic shock and multiple organ failure. National Clinical Guidelines for acute appendicitis with diffuse peritonitis allow for appendectomy from both the median and laparoscopic access in the absence of general contraindications to the creation of pneumoperitoneum. However, despite the proven advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy, there are opponents of its use in diffuse forms of appendicular peritonitis. An increased number of postoperative abscesses with a minimally invasive approach has been reported in literature; however, recent randomized studies refute this fact. There is also evidence that the laparoscopic method for appendicular peritonitis often leads to a lengthening of the operation time and higher operating costs, but at the same time there is a decrease in postoperative pain syndrome, a reduction in the length of inpatient treatment and early social and labor rehabilitation, which leads to an overall decrease in hospital costs. Thus, to date, there is no generally accepted opinion about the advisability of laparoscopic access for appendicular peritonitis. At the moment, the presence of diffuse peritonitis is the most common intraoperative reason for refusing a minimally invasive surgical treatment. However, there is a tendency to trying to standardize indications and contraindications, which was the objective of our literature review.Острый аппендицит является наиболее распространенным острым хирургическим заболеванием и, несмотря на то что имеется значительное сокращение его доли в практике врача-хирурга (40,3% — 2000, 24,8% — 2019), он все равно занимает первое место по встречаемости и оперативной активности.Перфоративная форма острого аппендицита с развитием распространенного перитонита увеличивает частоту послеоперационных осложнений до 47%, а летальность — до 3%. Летальность в случае развития разлитого гнойного перитонита составляет 4,5–58%, а при тяжелых формах распространенного перитонита с развитием инфекционно-токсического шока и полиорганной недостаточности может превышать 70%.Национальные клинические рекомендации при остром аппендиците с распространенным перитонитом допускают выполнение аппендэктомии как из срединного, так и из лапароскопического доступа при отсутствии общих противопоказаний к созданию пневмоперитонеума. Однако несмотря на доказанные преимущества лапароскопической аппендэктомии, имеются противники ее использования при распространенных формах аппендикулярного перитонита.В литературе отмечено увеличение количества послеоперационных абсцессов при минимально инвазивном доступе, однако последние рандромизированные исследования опровергают данный факт. Также имеются данные, что лапароскопический метод при аппендикулярном перитоните часто приводит к удлинению времени операции и более высоким операционным затратам, но при этом происходит уменьшение болевого послеоперационного синдрома, сокращение сроков стационарного лечения и ранняя социально-трудовая реабилитация, что приводит к общему снижению расходов больницы.Таким образом, на сегодняшний день нет общепринятого мнения о целесообразности лапаро­скопического доступа при аппендикулярном перитоните. На данный момент наиболее частая интраоперационная причина отказа от минимально инвазивного метода хирургического лечения — наличие распространенного перитонита. Однако прослеживается тенденция к попытке стандартизировать показания и противопоказания, что и явилось целью нашего литературного обзора

Measurement of Dielectric Suppression of Bremsstrahlung

In 1953, Ter-Mikaelian predicted that the bremsstrahlung of low energy photons in a medium is suppressed because of interactions between the produced photon and the electrons in the medium. This suppression occurs because the emission takes place over on a long distance scale, allowing for destructive interference between different instantaneous photon emission amplitudes. We present here measurements of bremsstrahlung cross sections of 200 keV to 20 MeV photons produced by 8 and 25 GeV electrons in carbon and gold targets. Our data shows that dielectric suppression occurs at the predicted level, reducing the cross section up to 75 percent in our data.Comment: 11 pages, format is postscript file, gzip-ed, uuencode-e

Anodal Block in Evaluation of Nerve Conduction Changes in Anesthetized Rats: Preclinical Non-Randomized Experimental Study

Background. There is currently no gold standard for functional assessment of nerve regeneration. Different researchers use various methods to assess the functionality of the regenerated nerve directly and indirectly. Indirect methods have the advantage of being minimally invasive, and the benefit of direct methods is recording the signal directly in the nerve.Objectives. To identify significant parameters of neurogram changes in the sciatic nerve in an anaesthetized rat when the anode block is applied and to evaluate neurography as a method for functional assessment of nerve regeneration.Methods. A series of experiments was performed on 10 anaesthetized rats. A DC anode was placed on the exposed sciatic nerve, more proximal and more distal to the recording electrodes, and a common cathode in the form of a needle was introduced into one of the forelimbs. Needle nichrome electrodes were introduced into the nerve using a manipulator. An original neurogram and a neurogram against anode activation were recorded by closing the DC circuit of different voltages to block the afferent signal, efferent signal and afferent and efferent signals simultaneously.Results. When the anodal block of different voltages was applied to the afferent signal, efferent signal, and afferent and efferent signals simultaneously in all 10 experiments, the frequency-amplitude characteristics of the neurogram changed significantly as compared to the original neurogram. The amplitude of the neurogram increased considerably, while the frequency decreased, though not so dramatically. The changes in amplitude and frequency parameters were revealed to depend on the voltage value. In most cases, this relationship was directly proportional to the amplitude and inversely proportional to the frequency.Conclusion. Considering the nature of the dynamics of the neurogram when exposed to the anodal block, the most significant parameter of its change is the amplitude. Changes in nerve fibre composition during its regeneration after damage cause changes in afferent and efferent signals, which is likely to be displayed in the neurogram as compared to the initial state. Thus, the anodal block can be used as a model of nerve damage, and the analysis of the dynamics of neurogram parameters — as a method for functional assessment of nerve regeneration

Bremsstrahlung Suppression due to the LPM and Dielectric Effects in a Variety of Materials

The cross section for bremsstrahlung from highly relativistic particles is suppressed due to interference caused by multiple scattering in dense media, and due to photon interactions with the electrons in all materials. We present here a detailed study of bremsstrahlung production of 200 keV to 500 MeV photons from 8 and 25 GeV electrons traversing a variety of target materials. For most targets, we observe the expected suppressions to a good accuracy. We observe that finite thickness effects are important for thin targets.Comment: 52 pages, 13 figures (incorporated in the revtex LaTeX file

Comparison of the results of ⁸⁵Kr transport modeling with the ACURATE field experiment data

© 2017, Allerton Press, Inc.Currently the Nuclear Safety Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (NSI RAS) jointly with the Hydrometcenter of Russia is developing the system for forecasting the transfer of radio-active substances in the atmosphere in case of radiation accidents at Russian nuclear power plants. The operation of the system is based on the numerical hydrodynamic model which allows forecasting meteorological parameters and is coupled with the mesoscale dispersion model of the transfer ofradioactive substances in the atmosphere. The results are presented of 85Kr transport modeling under the conditions of the ACURATE experiment with three transport models: FLEXPART, HYSPLIT, and the model from the NOSTRADAMUS software package. It is demonstrated that all three Lagrangian models can give a qualitative description of concentration fields from the ACURATE experiment with the best value of the RANK metric (2.5) based on three statistics

APLIKASI MANAJEMEN KEGIATAN UNTUK ORGANISASI NON PROFIT BERBASIS WEBSITE

Suatu organisasi memiliki berbagai program kerja, yang di dalamnya ada kepanitian khusus. Biasanya manajemen kegiatan yang berisi pengelolaan keuangan pada masing-masing organisasi dan lembaga dikepalai oleh bendahara. Pengelolaan keuangan tersebut menjadi sebuah kebutuhan, karena bendahara tersebut wajib selalu melaporkan pencatatan keuangan. Tentu akan menjadi tidak efektif jika melakukan pencatatan keuangan harus melakukannya secara manual. Di samping susah, pencatatan secara manual sangat beresiko seperti rusak dan hilangnya buku pencatatan. Ada lagi pencatatan dengan cara lain yaitu menggunakan software yang sudah ada seperti Microsoft Excel, namun hal tersebut masih kurang efisien dan kurang efektif sehingga diperlukan tools pencatatan yang lebih baik agar mencapai tujuan dan sasaran yang diinginkan. Subjek penelitian yang dibahas pada penelitian ini adalah aplikasi pengelolaan keuangan untuk organisasi non profit berbasis website. Langkah pengembangan aplikasi yaitu menggunakan waterfall model. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan menghasilkan sebuah website tentang ”aplikasi manajemen kegiatan untuk organisasi non profit berbasis website” yang dapat digunakan untuk melakukan manajemen kegiatan bagi organisasi non profit sehingga pekerjaan seorang bendahara menjadi mudah dan efektif.Keywords: Manajemen Kegiatan, Nonprofit Online, Organisasi Non Profit

Some of the expression patterns of immunohistochemical markers on cells of breast carcinoma

In breast cancer, the level of topoisomerase lla (TOP lla) expression can have independent predictive importance due to effective antibiotic treatment with anthracycline, which acts against this protein. 578 cases of infiltrative breast carcinoma were studied. The expression of TOP lla, Ki-67, Her2-neu, ER, PR was studied by immunohistochemical method. Expression of TOP lla was evaluated with use of the scale, developed by L. Usha (overexpression > 35%). Overexpression of TOP lla was found in 14 % of breast carcinomas. The strong positive correlation was found between increase of Ki-67 expression and TOP 2a expression. We did not find any significant dependence of T0P2a expression from Her-2/neu, ER and PR expression.При раке молочной железы уровень экспрессии топоизомеразы На (ТОР Па) может иметь самостоятельное предиктивное значение в связи с эффективной терапией опухоли антибиотикам группы антрациклинов, направленных на ингибирование данного белка.
