Development of Financial Service Methods for People with Dementia during Digitalization: A Partnership between Citizens and the Russian State

There is a need to achieve complex quality services for people suffering from dementia based on significant reductions in the material and moral capabilities of the family and state in a limited period of time. A method of forming a personal fund is proposed, in which citizens can save their personal funds, and the state will provide quality services in case of illness. Data are presented about three groups of elderly people, whose representatives differ in terms of social activity and health status. It is substantiated that the third group, belonging to the retirement age (people aged 80–85), is burdened to the largest extent by medical and social-care problems, including the susceptibility to dementia. The paper analyzes the volume and structure of financial resources for treatment and presents a forecast of the burden on the able-bodied population of the country for the timely treatment and service of these persons. The proposed creation of citizens’ personal funds makes it possible to transfer the psychophysiological burden experienced by members of society with dementia to specially trained personnel in order to save their families money in the event of an insured event—dementia. This will reduce household costs, ensuring the provision of qualified, comprehensive, high-quality services that not just alleviate the condition of elderly people with dementia but also create guaranteed decent living conditions. The organic blending of this suggestion with the introduction of a new cumulative pension scheme (guaranteed retirement plan, GRP) that envisages numerous tax incentives and state guarantees can ensure the effective support of people with dementia. It will contribute to the fair distribution of responsibilities to finance the social services provided to dementia patients between the families and the state

Synthesis of di(Imdazolium) and di(Pyrazolium) Salts as Precursors for N-heterocyclic Dicarbene Complexes

Alpha,omega-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)alkanes and alpha,omega-bis(imidazol-1-yl)alkanes with spacers consisting of four to ten methylene groups have been prepared from pyrazole, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole or imidazole and corresponding dibromoalkanes in a superbasic medium KOH-DMSO. The proposed method of synthesis allowed the preparation of new flexible bidentate ligands without the need to use toxic solvents and tedious workup procedures. Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)alkanes were further functionalized for their use as precursors for “non-classical” mesoionic N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. One the first step, iodine atoms were introduced to positions 4 of pyrazole rings by oxidative iodination using I[2]-HIO[3] system. On the next step, nitrogen atoms in positions 2 of pyrazole rings were alkylated using several agents. Reaction with methyliodide unexpectedly led to the formation of only mono-alkylated products even after 7 days of refluxing in a neat alkyliodide. Methylation by trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate or methyltriflate led to dimethylated products in high yields. Bis(imidazol-1-yl)alkanes were easily alkylated by methyliodide to give di(imidazolium) salts – precursors to “classic” N-heterocyclic dicarbenes

Metaphor in Shakespeare’s texts (Метафора в текстах В. Шекспіра)

Твори В.Шекспіра багаті на вживання метафор, завдяки яким презентуються герої його п’єс. Стаття присвячена опису використання метафор в текстах Шекспіра: когнитівна метафора, генералізуюча метафора, номінативна метафора, образна метафора. На прикладах з творів автори статті демонструють вживання Шекспіром різних видів метафор, роль метафори, як можливість розширювати концептуальне поле художнього тексту, деполем значень є символ, а метафора виступає активним «механізмом» екзистенції поетики. (Shakespeare’s texts are rich with metaphors presenting the heroes his plays. This paper looks at the using of linguistic metaphors in Shakespeare’s texts: cognitive metaphor, conceptual metaphor, root metaphor, visual metaphor. The authors show some metaphor types and give some examples from Shakespeare’s plays. The role of metaphors is considered, as possibility of expansion of the conceptual field of the artistic text, where the symbol is a field of meaning. A metaphor is the active mechanism of existence poetics.

Elastic recoil detection studies of nearsurface hydrogen in cavity-grade Niobium‖,

Abstract Recent studies of the quality factor degradation mechanisms in superconducting RF niobium cavities at high surface magnetic fields revealed that RF performance may depend on the total hydrogen content in the 40 nm thick near-surface layer. Hydrogen distribution in niobium and its near-surface content variations after different chemical surface treatments has been addressed in previous studies. However, only chemical treatments were studied while heat treatments are equally important. In this work we use the elastic recoil detection (ERD) technique to systematically study the distribution of hydrogen in niobium sheet and cavity cutout samples subjected to chemical and heat treatments typically performed on niobium cavities. Our results indicate the near-surface segregation of hydrogen at the niobium oxide/niobium interface, and do not show any significant variation in hydrogen content after various heat and chemical treatments. We do not observe a direct correlation between total hydrogen content and the high field Q slope. Consequences of the observed hydrogen segregation are discussed in the framework of the NbH x phase diagram

Повседневный образ жизни рабочей молодежи в провинции

В статье представлены результаты качестенного исследования повседневного образа жизни молодых рабочих Ульяновска, проведенного в 2017 г.  Подробно разбирается, как характер и режим работы структурируют повседневную жизнь молодых рабочих, определяют их досуг. Рассматриваются способы принятия и сопротивления задаваемому образу жизни, выбора альтернативных стратегий. В статье оспаривается взгляд на молодых рабочих как на социально уязвимую группу, утверждается, что морализаторское отношение к ней среди ученых мешает объективному анализу происходящих изменений. Главное из них заключается в переосмыслении ценности труда и рабочих профессий, в восприятии их не как окончательного жизненного выбора, а как пространства для самоопределения. Благодарность. Авторы благодарят Российский фонд фундаментальных исследований, за счет средств которого подготовлена статья в рамках коллективного проекта «Повседневная культура рабочей молодежи в стратегиях жизни и занятости» (№17-03-00716-ОГН\18, рук. Е.Л. Омельченко). А также выражают признательность всей команде НИЦ «Регион» за собранный интересный эмпирический материал и конструктивные предложения по подготовке статьи

Development of multisector pulsed neutron logging tool constructional parts

© 2016,International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology. All rights reserved.This paper focuses on the results of mathematical modeling aimed to construct multisector pulsed neutron logging (PNL) tool,which can be used to locate the cracks that are formed during hydraulic fracturing operations. This project resulted in a model of multisector PNL tool containing 6 detectors placed in such a way that they are equidistant from the source. This paper also presents:a. optimal collimation design providingdetection of neutronsfrom specific formations;b. model allowingto assess the quality of collimation in multisector logging tools; c. optimal detector configuration for the multisector PNL tool. The project results have also shown the possibility of increasing the number of registered thermal neutronsby introducing special constructional parts into the PNL tool design,allowing to changedirection of the neutron flux from the source into the area adjacent to detection units. Consequently,special constructional parts for the multisector PNL toolwere modeled to increase thenumber of neutrons recorded and determine the azimuth of the hydraulic fractures
