Minimum living wage as a basic aspect for managing the population’s life quality in Russia

The purpose of this research is to analyze the problem of incompliance of the minimum living wage (MLW) and the subsistence level. The consumer baskets of the Moscow residents and Europeans are compared. The MLW in Russia and countries of the Eurozone is aligned. Social aspects of raising the MLW to the level of the subsistence level are considered. Positive and negative consequences are formulated. The dynamics of the MLW and subsistence level are studied in detail. The factors influencing the quality of the population’s life are regulated. Positive and negative consequences of raising the MLW are formulated. Conclusions about the quality of the Russian population’s life are made. The article is based on a comprehensive study of regulatory and legislative documents that establish the MLW amount, the subsistence level, the consumer basket, as well as on studying the works of national and foreign researchers.peer-reviewe

A Five-year Spectroscopic and Photometric Campaign on the Prototypical alpha Cygni Variable and A-type Supergiant Star Deneb

Deneb is often considered the prototypical A-type supergiant, and is one of the visually most luminous stars in the Galaxy. A-type supergiants are potential extragalactic distance indicators, but the variability of these stars needs to be better characterized before this technique can be considered reliable. We analyzed 339 high resolution echelle spectra of Deneb obtained over the five-year span of 1997 through 2001 as well as 370 Stromgren photometric measurements obtained during the same time frame. Our spectroscopic analysis included dynamical spectra of the H-alpha profile, H-alpha equivalent widths, and radial velocities measured from Si II 6347, 6371. Time-series analysis reveals no obvious cyclic behavior that proceeds through multiple observing seasons, although we found a suspected 40 day period in two, non-consecutive observing seasons. Some correlations are found between photometric and radial velocity data sets, and suggest radial pulsations at two epochs. No correlation is found between the variability of the H-alpha profiles and that of the radial velocities or the photometry. Lucy (1976) found evidence that Deneb was a long period single-lined spectroscopic binary star, but our data set shows no evidence for radial velocity variations caused by a binary companion.Comment: 49 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables, accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journa

Psychological Warfare as a Tool for Achieving and Exercising Political Power

В статье рассматривается понятие «психологическая война» как способ оказания воздействия на массовое сознание путем предоставления ложной или некорректной информации о политической обстановке в стране и в мире. Утверждается, что психологическая война является мощным инструментом достижения и осуществления политической власти, поскольку позволяет формировать общественное мнение и контролировать поведение.

Kibbe's Typology as Continuation of the Method of Lines and Corners of the Pestalozzi in Training of Adults in Drawing of the Portrait

The academic system of art education is not suitable for teaching adult portrait drawing as a hobby or as the first stage of professional orientation. An alternative is the method of simple shapes of lines and angles of Pestalozzi. The Kibbe typology is similar in structure to the Pestalozzi method, but classifies the face types in more detail, based on the ratio of structural lines and angles. Such a simple template scheme of face types helps novice artists to orient themselves at the beginning of training in drawing a portrait and stimulates a serious study of visual literacy in the future.Для обучения рисунку портрета взрослых в качестве хобби или первой ступени профессиональной ориентации академическая система художественного образования не подходит. Альтернативой является метод простых форм линий и углов Песталоцци. Типология Кибби по структуре напоминает метод Песталоцци, но более детально классифицирует типы лица, исходя из соотношения структурных линий и углов. Такая простая шаблонная схема типов лица помогает начинающим художникам сориентироваться в начале обучения рисованию портрета и стимулирует к серьёзному изучению изобразительной грамоты в дальнейшем

Resistance of the microorganisms isolated from surgical hospital environment to disinfectants

The article presents the results of the study of resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fungi to disinfectants. The microorganisms were isolated from the surgical ward environment of Central District Hospital of Neryungri. All strains were sensitive to Lysoformin 3000. Most of the microorganisms were sensitive to Ecocide and Septodor (85,7 % and 71,4 % respectively). Only E. coli was resistant to these disinfectants. The microorganisms showed the highest resistance to Javelion. S. aureus and E. coli were resistant to Javelion. The most effective disinfectants against Aspergillus were 1% solution of Septabic, 0,2% solution of Vegasept, 0,4% solution of Septodor, 0,5% solution of Lysoformin 3000. The other disinfectants (Chlor-sept, Hypocloride and Alfadez forte) had lower fungicidal activity against Aspergillus

Loimologically significant pinniped helminths in Chukotka

The purpose of the research is study of pinniped helminth fauna in Chukotka, and the analysis of the fish of the main commercial families infected with pathogens of helminthozoonoses based on modern literature.Materials and methods. The helminths were collected in autumn of 2019 from pinnipeds caught in the Mechigmenskaya Guba of the Bering Sea in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug by the method of partial helminthological dissection per Skryabin (gastrointestinal tract). Samples were examined from 6 walruses and 26 seals (13 spotted seals and 13 ringed seals). The helminths found were fixed in 70% alcohol. The helminth species were identified at the Department of Parasitology and Veterinary and Sanitary Examination of the MVA named after K. I. Skryabin using reference literature.Results and discussion. All pinnipeds were infected with nematodes of the family Anisakidae. Mature Pseudoterranova desipiens were found in the walrus (Infection Prevalence = 16.7% with Infection Intensity = 3 specimens/animal), mature Ps. desipiens, as well as Contracoecum osculatum and Anisakis simplex larvae (IP = 30.8% with II from 5 to 57 specimens) were found in the spotted seal, and Ps. desipiens larvae and mature Ps. desipiens were found in the ringed seal (IP = 15.4% with II from 1 to 4 specimens). Thus, only Ps. desipiens were represented by mature stages (females and males), and two other species of anisakids, C. osculatum and A. simplex, were found in the seals in the larval stage
