Implementation of regional protectionism in aquaculture in foreign countries

Some indicators that determine the trends in the aquaculture development in the world, such as the number of employed and the volume of aquaculture production by continent have been considered as well as a forecast for the development of the industry in comparison with industrial fisheries and an analysis of the volume and growth rate of aquaculture production in some foreign countries have been given. The essence of regional protectionism in aquaculture has been revealed, its relationship with government programs and strategies for the aquaculture development in the country has been determined, the development and implementation of which are based on the formation of strategic competitive advantages in the global market and ensuring national food security.An analysis of the level of food security by the countries of the world allowed the authors to identify some foreign countries from different regions of the world with various forms of government and to characterize the implementation of regional protectionism in aquaculture in these countries. As a result of evaluating the implementation of regional protectionism in some foreign countries, the authors concluded that the volume of aquaculture production is directly dependent on the effectiveness of protectionism measures in the regions (provinces, states and other domestic territorial entities). In addition, the efforts made by Central authorities to  support and develop aquaculture in the country, expressed in the development and active implementation of state  programs and strategies, delegation of authority to the regional level, as well as support for the development of informal industry institutions, are a significant factor not only in ensuring food security of the state, but also in increasing the effectiveness of regional protectionism measures in aquaculture

Ресурсы медицинских организаций России, оказывающих помощь при инфекционных социально значимых заболеваниях

The objective of the study: to assess the provision of the Russian medical units with resources that provide medical care for infectious socially important diseases and compare this provision with the current epidemic situation.Subjects and methods. Data from FGSN Forms no. 8, 14, 14 DS, 33, 61, 30, 47 for the Russian Federation were analyzed. The number of those died is presented as per the data of Rosstat.Results. At the working age, the mortality rate of the population is significantly affected by HIV infection, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis B and C, and the combination of these socially significant diseases (9.3%). It is difficult to determine the cause of death of the patient with multiple co-morbidities. The incidence of tuberculosis is declining more rapidly than the number of tuberculosis beds. As a result, the number of patients with tuberculosis per 1 adult tuberculosis bed decreased from 4.0 in 2005 to 2.9 in 2017; and per 1 tuberculosis bed for children aged 0-17 years – from 1.2 to 0.7 respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the average number of patients per 1 position occupied by a district phthisiologist in the Russian Federation made 306 people, including 35 people with active tuberculosis, and 8 people with multiple drug resistant tuberculosis. The existing facilities and personnel of medical tuberculosis units allow expanding their functions. Given the reduction in tuberculosis incidence, growing incidence of HIV infection, a high proportion of concurrent tuberculosis, HIV infection and viral hepatitis B and C, the best option could be the establishment of Centers for socially important infectious diseases using the facilities of medical tuberculosis units.Цель исследования: дать оценку ресурсному обеспечению медицинских организаций России, оказывающих медицинскую помощь при инфекционных социально значимых заболеваниях, в сопоставлении с эпидемической ситуацией.Материалы и методы. Проанализированы данные форм ФГСН №№ 8, 14, 14 ДС, 33, 61, 30, 47 по РФ. Численность умерших представлена по данным Росстата.Результаты. В трудоспособном возрасте на показатель смертности населения существенное влияние оказывают ВИЧ-инфекция, туберкулез, вирусные гепатиты В и С, сочетание этих социально значимых заболеваний (9,3%). При этом трудно определить причину смерти пациента при сочетанной патологии. Заболеваемость туберкулезом сокращается бóльшими темпами, чем численность туберкулезных коек. В результате число пациентов с туберкулезом на 1 туберкулезную койку для взрослых сократилось с 4,0 в 2005 г. до 2,9 в 2017 г.; на 1 туберкулезную койку для детей в возрасте 0-17 лет – с 1,2 до 0,7. Среднее число пациентов на 1 занятую должность врача-фтизиатра участкового в РФ на 31.12.2017 г. составило: всего – 306 человек, в том числе с активным туберкулезом – 35 человек, с туберкулезом с множественной лекарственной устойчивостью возбудителя – 8 человек. Материальная база и кадровый состав медицинских противотуберкулезных организаций позволяют расширить их функции. Учитывая снижение заболеваемости туберкулезом, рост заболеваемости ВИЧ-инфекцией, высокую долю сочетания туберкулеза, ВИЧ-инфекции и вирусных гепатитов В и С, оптимальным является создание на базе медицинских противотуберкулезных организаций центров инфекционных социально значимых заболеваний

Challenges in QCD matter physics - The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment at FAIR

Substantial experimental and theoretical efforts worldwide are devoted to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. At LHC and top RHIC energies, QCD matter is studied at very high temperatures and nearly vanishing net-baryon densities. There is evidence that a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) was created at experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the QGP back to the hadron gas is found to be a smooth cross over. For larger net-baryon densities and lower temperatures, it is expected that the QCD phase diagram exhibits a rich structure, such as a first-order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter which terminates in a critical point, or exotic phases like quarkyonic matter. The discovery of these landmarks would be a breakthrough in our understanding of the strong interaction and is therefore in the focus of various high-energy heavy-ion research programs. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates. High-rate operation is the key prerequisite for high-precision measurements of multi-differential observables and of rare diagnostic probes which are sensitive to the dense phase of the nuclear fireball. The goal of the CBM experiment at SIS100 (sqrt(s_NN) = 2.7 - 4.9 GeV) is to discover fundamental properties of QCD matter: the phase structure at large baryon-chemical potentials (mu_B > 500 MeV), effects of chiral symmetry, and the equation-of-state at high density as it is expected to occur in the core of neutron stars. In this article, we review the motivation for and the physics programme of CBM, including activities before the start of data taking in 2022, in the context of the worldwide efforts to explore high-density QCD matter.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures.

Радиационная обстановка на территории площадки уранового наследия в пади Бамбакай (Забайкальский край)

The article presents the results of a study of the current radiation situation at the uranium legacy site located in the territory of the Bambakai Valley (Transbaikal Territory), formed in the period from 1973 to 1989 due to the discharge of mine water. During the radiation survey, the method of pedestrian gamma survey was used to measure the ambient dose equivalent rate. Soil sampling was carried out to study the radionuclide specific activities in the soil. The activity of gamma-emitting radionuclides in the samples was measured with a stationary gamma spectrometer. The activities of 210Po and 210Pb were measured after their radiochemical extraction from samples. It was found that the values of ambient dose equivalent rate in the territory of the valley varied over the wide range from 0.1 to 1.4 µSv/h in the areas under manmade contamination. The estimated average value of the gamma background for this place is 0.14±0.02 µSv/h. The specific activities of 238U, 226Ra, 235U, 210Pb and 210Po in the surface 10-cm soil layer at the site are from 10-40 times higher than the background values. The most part of radionuclides in the soil is in the acid-soluble form. Effective doses of the workers involved in hay harvesting in the area of the fallow land do not exceed 1.5 µSv/year. Doses of terrestrial environmental media (grass, earthworms) are 100 and more times lower than the safe level of exposure to biota.В статье приводятся результаты исследования современной радиационной обстановки на площадке уранового наследия, расположенной на территории пади Бамбакай (Забайкальский край), образовавшейся в период с 1973 по 1989 г. из-за сброса шахтных вод. При радиационном обследовании для измерения мощности амбиентного эквивалента дозы использовался метод пешеходной гамма-съемки. Для исследования удельной активности радионуклидов в почве проводился отбор проб. Активность гамма-излучающих радионуклидов в пробах измерялась на стационарном гамма-спектрометре. Измерение активности 210Po и 210Pb проводилось после их радиохимического выделения из проб. Установлено, что значения мощности амбиентного эквивалента дозы на территории пади варьируются в широком диапазоне от 0,1 до 1,4 мкЗв/ч на участках с техногенным загрязнением. Оцененное среднее значение гамма-фона для данной местности составляет 0,14±0,02 мкЗв/ч. Удельная активность 238U, 226Ra, 235U, 210Pb и 210Po в поверхностном 10-сантиметровом слое почвы на локальных загрязненных участках территории в 10–40 раз выше фоновых значений. Большая часть радионуклидов в почве находится в кислоторастворимой форме. Эффективные дозы облучения работников, проводящих заготовку сена на территории пади, не превышают 1,5 мкЗв/год. Дозы облучения наземных биообъектов (трава, дождевые черви) ниже безопасного уровня облучения биоты в 100 и более раз

A facility to Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) at the CERN SPS

A new general purpose fixed target facility is proposed at the CERN SPS accelerator which is aimed at exploring the domain of hidden particles and make measurements with tau neutrinos. Hidden particles are predicted by a large number of models beyond the Standard Model. The high intensity of the SPS 400~GeV beam allows probing a wide variety of models containing light long-lived exotic particles with masses below ${\cal O}$(10)~GeV/c$^2$, including very weakly interacting low-energy SUSY states. The experimental programme of the proposed facility is capable of being extended in the future, e.g. to include direct searches for Dark Matter and Lepton Flavour Violation.Comment: Technical Proposa
