Issues of criminal protection of entrepreneurial (business) activity

The article deals with issues of power squeeze on business in the context of criminal, political, criminological grounds both in the legal framework and legislative practices. Authors analyze the number of laws and regulations as well as the the drafts of Modernization concept of the criminal legislative in economy and the federal law "On amendments to legal acts of the Russian Federation due to the introduction of legal entities’ criminal and legal squeeze doctrine”. Authors illustrate the statistical data on the revealed crimes, criminal investigations filed and referred to court, data on gulty verdicts confirming the absence of such phenomenon as squeeze on business communities. Authors give the grounded conclusion on the liberalization of criminal legislation related to business activity in Russia using certain cases. Thus, the criminal policy pursued in Russia in the field of entrepreneurial activity bears no relation with excessive squeezing of business. And excessive publicity of redundancy of countermeasures to crimes in this field has no sufficient grounds.peer-reviewe

Shareholder Value of the Company and Financial Statements: Econometric Estimation of Value Creation Drivers

In this work to evaluate the relationship between financial reporting indicators and shareholder value on the example of the Russian companies from seven sectors of the economy linear multiple regression model and classical least squares methods has been used. The results depict that it is expected that financial reporting indicators are one of the dominant determinants of evaluating the effectiveness of financial investment decisions. Also, it is shown that the financial drivers-financial leverage, return on assets, dividend payments, and the EVA driver – invested capital-are positively correlated with the company's shareholder value. The results represent that the size of a company has a positive impact on its shareholder value. It was found that the level of disclosure is negatively correlated with the company's shareholder value. Due to the fact that the article uses data from the financial statements of the 85 Russian companies for 2018 to measure the relationship between three groups of drivers and the company's shareholder value is an innovative work that can be used in scientific and practical activities by owners and investors of companies in order to improve the financial reporting of companies and make investment decisions

Corruption and legal limits of anti-corruption enforcement

Purpose: The article studies the issue of the limits to fight corruption in Russia within the framework of criminal law. The article is mainly devoted to the problems of combating corruption and its criminal law methods. Design/Methodology/Approach: Authors analyzed the state of corruption taking into account public opinion and the general state of the law enforcement system. Authors also illustrated a criminological profile of an exactor. Findings: The features of the specific crimes of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are studied in this article. Auhtors highlighted a number of points: first, the identity between the definitions of corruption as a negative social and legal phenomenon and second as crime itself. Practical Implications: The article provides a detailed analysis and classification of corruption crimes under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and proposes solutions to the identified problems aimed at improving the effectiveness of criminal law counteraction against bribery and other corruption phenomena. Originality/Value: The main contribution of this study is a detailed analysis of the legal framework of the Russian Federation regarding the anti-corruption enforcement and contains solutions to improve the effectiveness of criminal law counteraction against bribery, other corruption crimes and corruption in general.peer-reviewe

Modern geochemical situation in the area of mining facilities of Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (by the example of Mikhailovsky GOK)

They provided the results of geochemical situation analysis in the KMA region over the past 10 years on the basis of literature data and the materials of author's studies on the example of the Mikhailovsky ore mining and processing enterprise are presented. The statistical analysis of pollutant distribution dependencies is performed within the ore mining and processing enterprise impact zones, the areas of element dispersion were estimated, the indices of industrial and agro-industrial background have been calculated using the example of a model territor

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ МАССИВА ПЬЕЗОСЕНСОРОВ ДЛЯ ЭКСПРЕССНОГО ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ СВОБОДНЫХ ЛЕГКОЛЕТУЧИХ КОМПОНЕНТОВ В ИЗДЕЛИЯХ ИЗ ФЕНОЛФОРМАЛЬДЕГИДНЫХ ПЛАСТМАСС

An express method for determining of volatile components in the products of phenol-formaldehyde plastics is developed by detecting them in the equilibrium gas phase using the piezosensors array. The sorption of substances-marker vapor which are the main pollutants in the air diffusing from plastic household products has been studied under identical conditions. The array of 8 piezosensors is selected providing minimal impact of water vapor on the microbalance results; maximum sensitivity to one / several classes of organic compounds; identification of phenol / formaldehyde in the mixtures. A method of evaluation the level of emissions of phenol, formaldehyde, toluene, acetone from household plastic products is developed using the piezosensors array. It has been proposed the ranking samples nonfood polymers into groups according to the danger degree based on the total content of volatile organic compounds and the presence of phenol / formaldehyde. The main criterion to justify polymer belonging to a group is the most informative analytical signal piezosensors array – square of "visual print." Accuracy of the phenol determination in polymers is verified by standard spectrophotometric method with 4- aminoantipyrine, it is shown the results of both methods satisfactorily converge. The proposed method can significantly reduce the economic and time costs on analysis and expand the analytical information about the content of other volatile substances in a single measurement.Key words: analysis, safety, plastics, phenol, formaldehyde, sensors, “electronic nose”.(Russian)DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15826/analitika.2014.18.1.007 Т.А. Kuchmenko, E.V. Drozdova Voronezh state university of engineering technology, Voronezh, Russian FederationРазработан экспрессный способ определения легколетучих компонентов в изделиях из фенолформальдегидных пластмасс путем детектирования их в равновесной газовой фазе с применением массива пьезосенсоров. В идентичных условиях изучена сорбция паров веществ-маркеров, которые являются основными загрязняющими веществами, диффундирующими в воздух из бытовых полимерных изделий. Подобран массив из 8 пьезосенсоров, обеспечивающий минимальное влияние паров воды на результаты микровзвешивания; максимальную чувствительность к одному/нескольким классам органических соединений; идентификацию фенола/формальдегида в смесях. Разработан способ оценки уровня эмиссии фенола, формальдегида, толуола, ацетона из бытовых полимерных изделий с применением массива пьезосенсоров. Предложено ранжирование образцов непищевых полимеров на группы по степени опасности с учетом суммарного содержания легколетучих органических соединений и наличия  фенола/формальдегида. Основным критерием для обоснования принадлежности полимера к какой-либо группе является наиболее информативный аналитический сигнал массива пьезосенсоров – площадь «визуального отпечатка».Правильность определения фенола в полимерах проверена по стандартной спектрофотометрической методике с 4-аминоантипирином, показана удовлетворительная сходимость результатов обоих способов. Предложенный способ позволяет существенно снизить экономические и временные затраты на проведение анализа и расширить аналитическую информацию о содержании других легколетучих веществ за одно измерение.Ключевые слова: анализ, безопасность, пластмассы, фенол, формальдегид, пьезосенсоры, «электронный нос»DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15826/analitika.2014.18.1.007
