Policy drivers of international entrepreneurship in Europe

The diversity of countries and cultures in Europe necessitates an international outlook for most businesses. This paper examines the internationalisation of business in Europe through a literature review on international entrepreneurship theory. The role of the individual business owner and of business and interorganisational activity in facilitating the internationalisation of businesses in Europe is discussed by utilising the theoretical framework of international entrepreneurship and by putting forward three main propositions. The main aim and intent of this paper is to understand how the policies of individual governments and institutions such as the European Union help businesses in Europe to internationalise, with particular emphasis on businesses in the Baltic region. The paper discusses policy implications and suggestions for future research, which highlight the importance for firms in Europe of focussing on international markets.<br /

The case of the Ural Federal University has been analyzed. The University has been working for several years on the creation of a device for the purification of sewage industrial water in the framework of an initiative student group. Recently, schoolchildren have joined this work. Successful solution of inventive tasks not only helps solving actual problems of practice, but also contributes to the formation of mental models.Представлен кейс Уральского федерального университета. В университете уже несколько лет ведется работа по созданию устройства для очистки сточных промышленных вод в рамках инициативной студенческой группы. Недавно к этой работе подключились школьники.

Investigations of fine particles concentrations in the atmospheric air near highways

This paper presents the results of the experimental determination of particulate matter PM 2,5 , PM 10 mass concentration and total suspended particles up to 15 microns (TSP), which are the priority components of air pollutants near the highways. The measurements were made during the year 2016 using a laser analyzer of aerosol DustTrak 8533. The study shows the dependence of the particulate matter concentration from the time of day and the traffic congestion. The sampling (N = 67) was performed due to brief program on the basis of the route monitoring station, which is located on the road junction with heavy traffic – up to1,200 vehicles per hour on the test sites. The single concentrations of the suspended substances reached the levels of the Maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of 1.5. During the study period, the exceeding of the established average daily MPC for fine particles PM 2.5 and PM 10 fractions near the highways have not been identified. The significant linear relationship between the number of diesel vehicles on stops and the concentrations of particulate matter PM 2.5 , PM 10 , TSP (correlation coefficient from 0.62 to 0.65; Fisher's criterion of 14.2 to 38.0; p <0.05) has been established and parameterized, what allows to predict the level of air pollution by diesel vehicles when braking and accelerating. It is recommended to fulfill continuous monitoring of the average daily and single MPC of the fine suspended particles near the roads with traffic load of 769 – 1270 or more the diesel vehicles per every 20 minutes. The obtained data may be used in evaluation of the risk to public health induced by the transport emissions as well as in the estimation of the fine particles PM 2.5 , PM 10 concentrations on the sites close to the highways of the large industrial center

АНОМАЛИИ РАЗВИТИЯ НИЖНЕЙ ПОЛОЙ ВЕНЫ И ЕЕ ПРИТОКОВ. ЛУЧЕВАЯ ДИАГНОСТИКА И КЛИНИЧЕСКОЕ ЗНАЧЕНИЕ

Abnormalities of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and its tributaries are a very rare congenital defect with an incidence of 0.6 to 3% and a wide variety of anatomical variants. In most cases, it is an accidental diagnostic finding in patients undergoing examination for other pathologies. Not infrequently, the anatomic IVC variants are ignored at the stage of exploratory diagnostic assessment due to their rarity, difficulties of identification and perhaps insufficient awareness of a radiologist in this field. It is known that some IVC abnormalities are associated with certain symptoms, and others could be a predictor of deep vein thrombosis. The information on characteristics of the IVC anatomical structure is necessary during interventional manipulation on the retroperitoneal organs and vasculature, because the presence of an atypically located vessel can lead to significant variations in the surgery protocol and potential intraoperative complications. The problems of embryogenesis, classification, variant anatomy, clinical significance and diagnostics of various abnormalities of IVC and its tributaries are discussed in this review.Аномалия нижней полой вены (НПВ) и ее притоков – весьма редкая врожденная патология с частотой от 0,6 до 3%, отличающаяся при этом большим разнообразием анатомических вариантов. В большинстве случаев она становится случайной находкой у пациентов, проходящих обследование по поводу других патологических состояний. Нередко анатомические варианты развития НПВ игнорируются на этапе диагностического поиска вследствие редкости патологии, сложностей распознавания и, возможно, неполной осведомленности врача-исследователя в данной области знаний. Установлено, что отдельные аномалии НПВ сопровождаются определенной симптоматикой, а некоторые выступают предиктором развития тромбоза глубоких вен. Информация об особенностях анатомического строения НПВ необходима при проведении интервенционных манипуляций на органах и сосудах забрюшинного пространства, поскольку наличие нетипично расположенного сосуда может привести к значительным изменениям в протоколе операции и возможным интраоперационным осложнениям. В обзоре рассмотрены вопросы эмбриогенеза, классификации, вариантной анатомии, клинической значимости и диагностики различных аномалий развития НПВ и ее притоков

Education Projects for Sustainable Development: Evidence from Ural Federal University

Sustainable development is a worldwide recognized social and political goal, discussed in both academic and political discourse and with much research on the topic related to sustainable development in higher education. Since mental models are formed more effectively at school age, we propose a new way of thinking that will help achieve this goal. The authors undertook this study in the context of Russia, where the topic of sustainable development in education has been yet poorly developed. The authors used the classical methodology of the case analysis. The analysis and interpretation of the results employed the framework of the institutional theory. Presented is the case of Ural Federal University, which has been working for several years on the creation of a device for the purification of industrial sewer water in the framework of an initiative student group. Schoolchildren recently joined the program, and such projects have been called university-to-school projects. Successful solutions for inventive tasks contribute to the formation of mental models. This case has been analyzed in terms of institutionalism, and the authors argue for the primacy of mental institutions over normative ones during sustainable society construction. This case study is the first to analyze a partnership between a Federal University and local schools regarding sustainable education and proposes a new way of thinking

Features of The Heart Remodeling in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases, Combined with Coronary Heart Diseases

The characteristics of heart remodeling in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases ( COPD), associated with coronary heart diseases (CHD) were examined. The changes of structural and functional state of myocardium, intracardiac relationships with associated pathology were under study. The role of blood inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a) and the level of cell adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) in exacerbating myocardial dysfunction was clarified
