The impact of obesity on the structure of osteoarthrosis of large joints of the lower limb.

The prevalence of osteoarthrosis (OA) among adults over 40 years is taking one of the leading places in the common structure of joint pathology. Obesity – is of the comorbidities associated with OA, one of the risk factors of development and progression of OA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of obesity on the structure of knee and hip OA on the stage of total joint replacement, depending on the patient`s gender, age and degree of obesity. The study involved 170 inpatient case histories of patients with OA undergoing treatment in the department of  large joints replacement (64 men and 106 women): 95 patients with OA of hip joint and 75 – with OA of knee joint, among whom there were 110 patients with obesity and 60 – without it. The middle age of the patients was by 63,8±7,69 years. High prevalence of obesity among patients with OA of knee and hip joints was found, with significant higher number of obese patients with OA of knee joint and among female patients. It has been demonstrated a significant increase in the frequency of total knee joint replacement associated with the increase of body mass index among patients with OA of knee joint. The presence of obesity was associated with earlier terms of the total joint replacement performing, especially among male patients

Obituary Genre in Legacy of V.S. Solovyov

The features of the organization of obituaries created by V. S. Solovyov from 1883 to 1900 is considered. The specific traits of the author’s strategy in writing mourning texts are revealed. The relevance of the article is due to the importance of V. S. Solovyov for Russian culture, as well as the prospects for research that will reveal the genre and compositional specifics of obituaries as a special fact of the culture of creating post-humous texts in Russia in the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the fact that for the first time in Solovyov studies, the obituaries of the famous Russian philosopher are considered in aggregate, the author’s attitude to death and important aspects of his understanding of the place of man in the world are revealed. The relationship of these works with the rest of V. S. Solovyov and genre features of these obituaries is determined. According to Solovyov, the main qualities of a truly spiritual person are revealed: this is a person who has exceptional qualities of the heart, is not always understood by society, but who, through his deeds, embodies the main human destiny — serving Christian truth. He concludes that the obituaries of V. S. Solovyov reflect his system of views and semantically resonate with other works of the author

Role of Antonymy in Conceptualization of Sound Characteristics in Russian Language

On the basis of the ideographic dictionary data, semantic relations within the framework of synonymic-antonymic complexes in the denotative-ideographic group “Sound Characteristics” in the modern Russian language are considered. The symmetry / asymmetry of these relations is shown. Specifics of conceptualization of the characteristics of the sound in the aspect of relations of opposites is revealed. The study was conducted in the framework of the project of Big Comprehensive Ideographic Dictionary of Synonymic and Antonymic Complexes under the direction of L. G. Babenko. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the antonymy in the field of sound is considered comprehensively, in interaction with synonymic connections, as well as in the aspect of lexicographic representation. The material of the study was seven synonymic and antonymic complexes: blagozvuchnyy - neblagozvuchnyy, vnyatnyy - nevnyatnyy, vysokiy - nizkiy, gromkiy - tikhiy, zvonkiy - glukhoy, pronzitelnyy - myagkiy, protyazhnyy - otryvistyy . The differences in the “fullness” of synonymic-antonymic oppositions and the ratio of synonyms and antonyms in them are noted. It is shown that an important parameter for the oppositions under consideration is the objective / subjective nature of the feature. The types of antonymy oppositions implemented in the field of sound are considered: contradictory oppositions name mutually exclusive characteristics of sound; contrary oppositions have gradable parameter in semantics, which causes the opposition; contrary nature of these oppositions is emphasized by the presence of derivatives of the verbal oppositions of vector type

Повышение качества управления частными корпоративными структурами на различных уровнях государственного управления и менеджмента

The article is devoted to the problems of the formation of a new system of public administration, since the previous model does not meet public requirements due to the isolation of the authorities from many real problems. The authors show that the traditional model of public administration is experiencing a crisis of legitimacy at all levels, as evidenced by the decline in public confidence in the government. Simultaneously, the authors focus on the analysis of the process of reforming the institution of public service. The authors conduct a detailed analysis of the practice of corporate relations in order to better understand the relationships that develop within the company's management bodies in the process of corporate governance.  In addition, the authors clarify the content of such concepts as corporate governance and corporate governance. The authors used the method of indicative planning, so the concept of indicative planning is a priority in the situation of public-private partnership.  In this regard, we differentiate the volume of early and late indicators. We believe that the effectiveness of business processes depends on their logistics in various areas: financial, personnel, customer, etc. public-private partnership functions as an integrated Corporation that interacts with many partners.Статья посвящена проблемам формирования новой системы государственного управления, поскольку прежняя модель не отвечает общественным требованиям из-за изоляции власти от многих реальных проблем.

Dealing with Burstiness in Multi-Tier Applications: Models and Their Parameterization

Abstract—Workloads and resource usage patterns in enterprise applications often show burstiness resulting in large degradation of the perceived user performance. In this paper, we propose a methodology for detecting burstiness symptoms in multi-tier applications but, rather than identifying the root cause of burstiness, we incorporate this information into models for performance prediction. The modeling methodology is based on the index of dispersion of the service process at a server, which is inferred by observing the number of completions within the concatenated busy times of that server. The index of dispersion is used to derive a Markov-modulated process that captures well burstiness and variability of the service process at each resource and that allows us to define queueing network models for performance prediction. Experimental results and performance model predictions are in excellent agreement and argue for the effectiveness of the proposed methodology under both bursty and non-bursty workloads. Furthermore, we show that the methodology extends to modeling flash crowds that create burstiness in the stream of requests incoming to the application. Index Terms—Capacity planning, multi-tier applications, bursty workload, bottleneck switch, index of dispersion.

Perception of Russian Politics in Galicia in Diaries and Memoirs of World War I Participants

The problem of perception of Russian politics in Galicia during the First World War by participants in military operations is considered. The relevance of the study is due to the interest of modern society in historical sources of personal origin. The novelty is determined by a wide corpus of diaries and memoirs of participants in hostilities, un-published archival ego-documents introduced into scientific circulation. Based on new sources, the actions of the Russian authorities and the army in Galicia in 1914—1916 are interpreted. Plots are revealed that are not recorded by officials in official documents. Unjustified decisions of the local administration, bureaucratic confusion and arbitrariness are analyzed. The degree of influence of official Russian propaganda on the position of combatants and Galicians is determined in the study. Different points of view among Russian society on the organization of governance in Galicia and the national and confessional policy pursued there are revealed. The diaries and memoirs of the combatants made it possible to look at the events that took place in Galicia from the perspective of an eyewitness, shedding light on the features of everyday life, both of the local civilian population, and of military units, and of the medical service who found themselves in the conquered territories

Biotechnological methods as a tool for efficient sugar beet breeding

Here we consider aspects of the application of biotechnological methods to rapid creation, propagation, and maintenance of plants with improved or new traits in sugar beet breeding. The results of the works carried out in these fields by the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "The A.L. Mazlumov All-Russia Research Institute of Sugar Beet” are reviewed. A close association between morphological and physiological changes in in vitro cultured organs and tissues, on the one hand, and breeding traits, on the other hand, which allows the development of experimental systems for non-amphimictic plant reconstruction is shown. The influence of in vitro growth conditions on haploid cells of unfertilized sugar beet ovules in the course of obtaining doubled haploid lines with high degree of homozygosity and maintenance of valuable breeding properties is considered. As compared to common inbreeding, this method shortens the time for development of homozygous material from 10-12 to 3-5 years, which is of great importance for speeding-up the breeding process. The results of studies on the culturing of mature sugar beet zygotic embryos based on in vitro selective systems have made it possible to improve the adaptive potential of plants and to provide complex resistance to environmental stress factors. Strict selection under abiotic stress conditions allowed creation of sugar beet isogenic lines with tolerance of drought, salinity, and soil acidity. It is shown that the proposed original design of mass-scale microclonal in vitro reproduction and deposition of elite plants as components of highly productive hybrids can be used to obtain seeds of uniform high-quality breeding material. The technologies developed by biotechnological methods are a topical and innovative direction of inquiry, since the application of these techniques to sugar beet breeding will promote obtaining of competitive hybrids with a set of commercially valuable traits. The combination of biotechnology methods, including tissue culture, and traditional breeding techniques is expected to provide an opportunity to obtain a new starting material to develop domestic varieties and hybrids of new generation with heterosis effect and a wide resistance spectrum persisting across generations
