Preparation and characterization of Bi26–2xMn2xMo10O69-d and Bi26.4Mn0.6Mo10–2yMe2yO69-d(Me = V, Fe) solid solutions

Received: 06.06.2017; accepted: 23.06.2017; published: 14.07.2017.Single phase samples of bismuth molybdate, Bi26Mo10O69, doped with Mn on the bismuth sublattice and V, Fe on the molybdenum sublattice were found to crystallize in the triclinic Bi26Mo10O69 structure at low doping levels and in the monoclinic Bi26Mo10O69 structure - at higher dopant concentration. The assumption that all Mn ions have an oxidation state of +2 was confirmed by means of magnetic measurement results analysis using Curie-Weiss law. Conductivity was investigated using impedance spectroscopy. The conductivity of Bi26.4Mn0.6Mo9.6Fe0.4O69-d was 1.2*10-2 S*cm-1 at 973 K and 2.2*10-4 S*cm-1 at 623 K, and the conductivity of Bi26.4Mn0.6Mo9.2V0.8O69-d was 2.2*10-3 S*cm-1 at 973 K and 2.2*10-5 S*cm-1 at 623 K

The differentiated assessment of damage to economy of subjects of the Siberian Federal District from road and transport accident rate

The results of assessment of damage from the road accident rate in subjects of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) of the Russian Federation are presented in the article. The thesis about spatial differentiation of the Gross Regional Product (GRP) losses in different regions of the country because of people's death and injuries in the road accidents (RA) and due to formations of property and ecological damage was chosen as a working hypothesis. The calculations, carried out for 12 subjects of the SFD, confirmed this idea. The range of calculated values of economic damage from road accident rate (in % of GRP) was from 1.3 (Tomsk region) to 12.6 (Republic of Tyva) in 2015. In article the attempt to explain the received result by heterogeneous development of economics in various Russian regions is made. The consequence of it is a heterogeneous quality of people's life and quite various perception of life value by inhabitants of different regions that influences their life safety level. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing.

A linked-data paradigm for the integration of static and dynamic building data in digital twins

Digital Twins is an emerging field of research, mainly because they span the entire building lifecycle promising to uncover hidden inefficiencies and deliver data-driven applications. Broadly defined as real-time digital representations of physical assets, Digital Twins require a connection between static and real-time data. However, building information is usually stored in different formats across the lifecycle, making data integration a challenging task. We hereby often rely on linked data technologies, yet overall system integration approaches with multiple types of data sources. In this work, a data linking methodology is proposed to combine static building design data from Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and dynamic data using the Brick Schema; a domain ontology which configures data analytics applications during the operational phase. To facilitate this integration, we develop a tool to facilitate the linking of building topology, product, and sensor data using the two schemata. The implementation of our methodology in a real test case demonstrates its significance in combining diverse data sources which can be an important step for the delivery of Digital Twin applications

Assessment of sustainability of improving road safety process in the volga federal district

The article examines the issues of assessing the sustainability of traffic safety improvement process in the cities of the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation. In 2015...2018 a sharp decrease in the overall level of road traffic accidents in the Russian Federation was recorded. However, in different regions and cities of the country this positive process runs extremely heterogeneously, with various speeds and different levels of qualitative changes in the field of road safety. The T-Wilcoxon criterion is an instrument, used in analyzing accident rate statistics, which can help in the argumentation of the opinion on the stability of this process or, vice versa, on the chaotic state and weak expression. On the example of accident rate statistics in subjects of the Volga Federal District of Russia, the article proves that improvement of road safety can be characterized as sustainable. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd

Sustainability of transport system of large Russian city in the period of COVID-19: Methods and results of assessment

In spring 2020 the whole world went through the "black swan"-COVID-19 pandemic. The healthcare systems of all countries and the world economy, in general, became very stressed. The extraordinary decline of activity in all spheres, except healthcare, led to a drop in the demand for transport services, including city public transport. It was important for city management to support the sustainability of the local transport system. The article presents fundamental approaches to assessing the sustainability of a transport service, particularly city passenger public transport (CPPT), for the example of the large Russian city Tyumen (size of population-nearly 807 thousand people). Methods of analysis of the sustainability of the transport process in conditions of negative environmental impact (COVID-19 pandemic) are considered. During the period from 30.03.2020 to 31.05.2020 (nine weeks-the acute phase of COVID-19 pandemic) structural sustainability of the CPPT system in Tyumen kept a high level. By changing the parameters of the planned characteristics of the CPPT system state, an attempt to adapt the transport service supply to a sharp decrease in transport demand was made. In the period of "self-isolation", the demand for the CPPT transport service reduced more than the transport service supply. Sustainability of CPPT functioning was evaluated by calculating the elasticity of the transport supply (number of trips) in relation to the actual demand (actual volume of transportations). Calculation of the elasticity index of the CPPT system of Tyumen during nine weeks of April-May 2020 (duration of "self-isolation") is provided. A conclusion was made from the results of the research. In particular, it was found that the foreground target function of city management was the maintenance of a high level of transportation processes to the detriment of the transportations' effectiveness. Such a policy led to contradictory results-the additional financial expenses at the rate of 135-150 million rubles and quite a high level of contentment of the Tyumen population with the quality of the CPPT work (sociological research established that 80-85% of respondents were satisfied with the quality of the transport service in April-May 2020). © 2020 by the authors.This research was funded by Russian Ministry of Education and Science through grant No. 0825-2020-0014, 2020-2022

Open Business Model of COVID-19 Transformation of an Urban Public Transport System: The Experience of a Large Russian City

Dialectics, or developmental transformation, would eventually cause any system to change. The level and depth of these changes vary and depend on the power of external influence and system reservation mechanisms. The art of managing system processes consists of two main aspects. The first aspect involves the sagacity of managers and predicting general environmental change trends (and their impacts on the managed system). The second involves adjusting to these trends, maximizing possible benefits, and minimizing the negative manifestations of this process. Innovation plays an important role, contributing to system transformations with maximal effect and minimal loss. Public transport systems are important elements in cities, as they provide spatial mobility for at least half of the citizens of a city who cannot use individual transportation. Modern urbanization and peculiarities of the social–economic statuses of many citizens contribute to the fact that organized public transportation is unprofitable. The low solvency of citizens who use public transportation services means that passenger transport systems do not work with enough profitability. As a result, governing institutions often choose to subsidize unprofitable transporter activities, thereby prolonging the functioning of unprofitable routes. This is possible only in conditions of sustainability (in regards to a non-optimal system), when the environment is calm, and its negative impact is low. “Black swans” (according to N. Taleb) are bifurcation factors that break the sustainability of non-optimal system. Urban public transport (UPT) of a large Russian city, Tyumen, experienced it in 2020, in connection with the COVID-19 lockdown. The sharp decrease in population mobility in Tyumen, in 2020–2021, caused the need for a complete transformation of the transport service system. However, managers did not want to fundamentally change a system that consensually suited most counterparties. The search for new balances in a system that demands transformation is one way for sustainable provision. This article looks at the transformation and sustainability of a UPT system in the large Russian city of Tyumen, under conditions affected by the negative impact of COVID-19. Results of a comparative (i.e., pre-crisis (2019) and crisis (2020)) Pareto analysis of the contributions of different UPT routes are presented. Transformation of the structure of the UPT route system can overcome the “crisis” COVID-19 period and minimize its financial-economic costs. © 2021 by the authors.

ПРОЦЕСУАЛЬНІ ТА НЕПРОЦЕСУАЛЬНІ ФОРМИ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ СПЕЦІАЛЬНИХ ЗНАНЬ У ЦИВІЛЬНОМУ ТА ГОСПОДАРСЬКОМУ ПРОЦЕСАХ

The article considers types and characteristics of special knowledge as well as legal status of persons applying special knowledge while civil and economic proceedings. The Article purpose is to identify existing gaps in civil and economic procedural legislation in relation to various forms of implementing special knowledge based on the analysis of description of their common features and identification of their application peculiarities in civil and economic proceedings. When considering the comparative legal research method, similarities and differences in entities using special knowledge, namely in a specialist, translator, teacher, were established. The analysis of norms of the current procedural legislation enables to deduce that a number of forms of special knowledge use can be distinguished in civil and economic proceedings, namely: court expertise; competent individuals’ expertise without involving them in a trial; attracting competent persons to participate in civil or economic proceedings; using the results of forensic examinations: forensic reports. The issues of legal regulation for a translator candidate choice in civil or economic proceedings and the problem of translators’ incompetence in legal terminology are identified. Methods for improving participation of translators in the proceedings were established. The opinions and observations of scientists in the field of law on the use of special knowledge in the field of law were analyzed, and the possibility of conducting legal vetting while court proceedings was criticized. It was established that procedural definition of special knowledge must necessarily include their general scientific concept as direct substantive basis for the concept of procedural, and the latter will determine only boundaries and forms of this knowledge special use in civil and economic proceedings, as well as legally significant consequences of such use. The analysis of forms of special knowledge use in civil and economic proceedings provides grounds to consider that, except for special knowledge that is used in the form of forensic examination, other forms are also used which are given a detailed description.В статье рассмотрены виды и характеристики специальных знаний, а также правовой статус лиц, применяющих специальные знания в гражданском и хозяйственном процессах.
