Typology of organizations in the aspect of corruption counteraction in the Russian Federation

Objective: to perform typologization of organizations in the aspect of counteracting corruption based on generalization of approaches to understanding organizations and highlighting their types in the system of scientific knowledge.Methods: general scientific method of dialectical cognition, as well as a number of specific scientific methods, such as legal, systemic-structural, formal-logical, etc.Results: a significant obstacle in building a system of corruption counteraction in organizations is the lack of fundamental intersectoral scientific research ranking organizations depending on the degree of influence of their activities on national security. The typologization of organizations in the aspect of corruption counteraction is of great methodological importance, since it allows establishing the basic scientific and practical approaches to ensuring anti-corruption activities, depending on the degree of corruption-related danger of such organizations. Generalization of approaches to the understanding of organizations and the identification of their varieties allowed establishing the dominance of civil law in the knowledge of organizations. At the same time, the classifications of organizations used in this branch of law do not enable to achieve the goal of this study. In this regard, within the framework of this work, the need for interdisciplinary scientific knowledge of the essential characteristics of organizations is actualized, the identification of signs for the typologization of organizations is problematized, and a working typology of organizations in the aspect of combating corruption is proposed. The further scientific cognition of corruption manifestations and mechanisms of their reproduction in the activities of various types of organizations will make it possible to reveal the reserves of anti-corruption activities and provide a systematic multilevel approach in their implementation.Scientific novelty: the paper substantiates the need for typologization of organizations in interconnection with the influence of their corruptiogenity on the security of society and the state to build a multilevel system of counteracting corruption in organizations of various types.Practical significance: the research results can be used in determining the directions for improving state policy in the field of corruption counteraction, as well as anticorruption activity of organizations

Scaling analysis of the magnetic monopole mass and condensate in the pure U(1) lattice gauge theory

We observe the power law scaling behavior of the monopole mass and condensate in the pure compact U(1) gauge theory with the Villain action. In the Coulomb phase the monopole mass scales with the exponent \nu_m=0.49(4). In the confinement phase the behavior of the monopole condensate is described with remarkable accuracy by the exponent \beta_{exp}=0.197(3). Possible implications of these phenomena for a construction of a strongly coupled continuum U(1) gauge theory are discussed.Comment: Added references [1

Nonperturbative late time asymptotics for heat kernel in gravity theory

Recently proposed nonlocal and nonperturbative late time behavior of the heat kernel is generalized to curved spacetimes. Heat kernel trace asymptotics is dominated by two terms one of which represents a trivial covariantization of the flat-space result and another one is given by the Gibbons-Hawking integral over asymptotically-flat infinity. Nonlocal terms of the effective action generated by this asymptotics might underly long- distance modifications of the Einstein theory motivated by the cosmological constant problem. New mechanisms of the cosmological constant induced by infrared effects of matter and graviton loops are briefly discussed.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, final version, to be published in Phys. Rev.

Navigational infrastructure at the East Pacific Rise 9°50′N area following the 2005–2006 eruption : seafloor benchmarks and near-bottom multibeam surveys

Author Posting. © American Geophysical Union, 2008. This article is posted here by permission of American Geophysical Union for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems 9 (2008):Q11T04, doi:10.1029/2008GC002070.Four seafloor benchmarks were deployed with ROV Jason2 at frequently visited areas along the northern East Pacific Rise (NEPR) ridge crest near 9°50′N, within the Ridge2000 EPR integrated study site (ISS) bull's eye. When used in concert with established deep-ocean acoustic positioning techniques, these benchmarks provide navigational infrastructure to facilitate the integration of near-bottom data at this site by allowing efficient and quantitative coregistration of data and observations collected on multiple dives and over multiple cruises. High-resolution, near-bottom multibeam bathymetric surveys also were conducted along and across the ridge crest to provide a morphological and geological context for the benchmark areas. We describe the navigation and data processing techniques used to constrain the benchmark positions and outline operational details to effectively use benchmarks at this and other deep-ocean sites where multidisciplinary time series studies are conducted. The well-constrained positions of the benchmarks provide a consistent geospatial framework that can be used to limit navigational uncertainties during seafloor sampling and mapping programs and enable accurate spatial coregistration and integration of observations. These data are important to test a range of multidisciplinary hypotheses that seek to link geological, chemical, and biological processes associated with crustal accretion and energy transfer from the mantle to the hydrosphere at mid-ocean ridges

Digital system of registering, storage and actualization of municipal legal acts: elaboration and approbation in the territory of Krasnoyarsk krai

Objective to determine the legal status of the electronic information system of accounting storing and updating of municipal normative legal acts to disseminate the experience of development and implementation of such a system in Krasnoyarsk krai. Methods general scientific method of dialectical cognition historicallegal systemstructural comparativelegal formallogical and other particular scientific methods of cognition. Results the authors come to the conclusion that the electronic information system of accounting storing and updating of municipal normative legal acts is a type of official information systems and has special qualitative characteristics. Development and implementation of such systems in the activities of local governments according to the authors is a promising direction to ensure the openness of municipal legal acts and the accessibility of information on the results of municipal rulemaking. To illustrate the authorrsquos approach a functional description of the electronic information system of accounting storing and updating of municipal regulatory legal acts ldquoMunicipal legal acts of the Krasnoyarsk krairdquo is given. Scientific novelty consists in the development of theoretical conceptions about the legal nature of official information systems and applied problems of their use in the activities of local governments. Modern information and communication technologies allow the transition to the real embodiment of direct democracy including the involvement of the population in the direct decisionmaking at the level of local government using EISof municipal legal acts. Given the functions that may be performed by EIS ensuring access of citizens to the system of legal acts their storage and systematization communication between local governments and public authorities provision of official authentic texts of a legislative act organization of discussion on drafts of municipal legal acts formation of open data etc. it seems necessary to legislatively establish a legal regime of EIS as the official legal information system. EIS has significant advantages in comparison with other legal systems including the register maintained by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on the website ldquoNormative legal acts of the Russian Federationrdquo. Additional features of EIS aimed at the implementation of the provisions of the Federal Law ldquoOn ensuring access to information on the activities of state bodies and local selfgovernmentrdquo may occur when the legislator makes changes to the procedure for the official publication of municipal legal acts provided for in part 2 of Article 47 of the Federal Law ldquoOn general principles of local selfgovernment in the Russian Federationrdquo. Practical significance consist in the possibility of wide implementation of the electronic information system of accounting storing and updating of municipal normative legal acts in the activities of local governments developed by the authorsrsquo team

Infrared behavior of the gluon propagator in lattice Landau gauge: the three-dimensional case

We evaluate numerically the three-momentum-space gluon propagator in the lattice Landau gauge, for three-dimensional pure-SU(2) lattice gauge theory with periodic boundary conditions. Simulations are done for nine different values of the coupling $\beta$, from $\beta = 0$ (strong coupling) to $\beta = 6.0$ (in the scaling region), and for lattice sizes up to $V = 64^3$. In the limit of large lattice volume we observe, in all cases, a gluon propagator decreasing for momenta smaller than a constant value $p_{dec}$. From our data we estimate $p_{dec} \approx 350$ MeV. The result of a gluon propagator decreasing in the infrared limit has a straightforward interpretation as resulting from the proximity of the so-called first Gribov horizon in the infrared directions.Comment: 14 pages, BI-TP 99/03 preprint, correction in the Acknowledgments section.
