Social aspects of migrants’ adaptation in Russia in the digital economy
The state, due to its socio-economic nature, must regulate and control the most important social processes. Migration is an important part of these processes, since the attraction of additional labor resources will give a certain impetus to the sustainable development of the country and ensure long-term economic growth. However, the implementation of migration policy is associated with a whole range of problems. The problems of social and digital adaptation of migrants, social and territorial disunity are among them. Added to this is the lack of effective interaction between public authorities and municipalities with civil society institutions, as well as the presence of a clear bias in ensuring equal opportunities in obtaining public services, depending on the level of income, migration status and other factors. The weak role of civil institutions in social and cultural adaptation and the language barrier also exacerbate the situation. The dominance of unskilled personnel in the structure of migration flows aggravates their digital adaptation. The digitalisation of many processes could have a signifcant impact in solving these problems. With its help, an effective institutional environment would gradually form. This article examines the social aspects of migrants’ adaptation in the context of digitalization. In the course of the research, the author conducted a comprehensive analysis, including observations, expert interviews and analysis of regulatory documents. The paper considers various aspects of the adaptation of migrants within the framework of political, socio-economic, psychological, national and demographic problems. As the study showed, in the context of digitalization it is necessary to form a fundamentally new institutional environment in the feld of adaptation of migrants in the host country. A qualitatively different regulatory framework, new institutions that harmonize the interests of the state, civil society, business and migrants should become a part of this environment

The market of vocational professional education in Russia in the new economic conditions
Since the end of 2014, the Russian economy has undergone major changes. The crisis continued until 2018, followed by stabilization and short-term growth in 2018-2019. The emerging positive trends were interrupted by the pandemic. All this has had a signifcant impact on the vocational professional eduation market, both in quantitative and structural terms. The modern world is changing too fast, it is necessary to form the creative potential of a person. The article states that specialists’ adaptation mechanisms to new conditions should change with the help of advanced training, obtaining new knowledge and skills in all forms of education, including the system of vocational professional education. This means that the market of educational services formed by state, departmental and corporate educational institutions must respond to the demands of the economy and consumers of these services. Such advanced technologies and methods as online studying should be used along with and in combination with ofine classes. The conducted research has shown that large corporations allocate signifcant funds for the training and retraining of specialists corresponding to the level of technological development, capable of making effective management decisions. The authors of the article note that in the system of vocational professional education consumers of educational services are most interested in training programs related to management, marketing, information and computer technologies, which is quite consistent with the digital economy and the knowledge econom
Indicators of Pasture Digression in Steppe Ecosystems of Mongolia
The research shows that widely used key measures of vegetation structure (species diversity, projected cover and above-ground phytomass) are not always suitable as indicators of pasture degradation. Based on an analysis above-ground phytomass composition, new quantitative indices are offered that give a more realistic picture of rangeland condition in Mongolia
Azimuthal and polar anchoring energies of aligning layers structured by nonlinear laser lithography
In spite of the fact that there are different techniques in the creation of
the high-quality liquid crystals (LCs) alignment by means of various surfaces,
the azimuthal and polar anchoring energies as well as the pre-tilt angle are
important parameters to all of them. Here, the modified by a certain manner
aligning layers, previously formed by nonlinear laser lithography (NLL), having
high-quality nano-periodic grooves on Ti surfaces, recently proposed for LC
alignment was studied. The change of the scanning speed of NLL in the process
of nano-structured Ti surfaces and their further modification by means of
ITO-coating, and deposition of polyimide film has enabled different aligning
layers, whose main characteristics, namely azimuthal and polar anchoring
energies, were measured. For the modified aligning layers, the dependencies of
the twist and pre-tilt angles for LC cells filled by nematic E7
({\Delta}{\epsilon} > 0) and MLC-6609 ({\Delta}{\epsilon} < 0) were obtained.
Also the contact angle for droplets of isotropic liquid (glycerol), and nematic
LCs was measured for the various values of the scanning speed during the laser
processing.Comment: 49 pages, 18 figure
Acute kidney injury in patients with pneumonia with A/H1N1 influenza
Background. A critical condition of any genesis may be accompanied by the development of multiple organ failure, one of the manifestations of which is acute renal injury. Often, the process is subclinical in nature and the «classical» approaches to diagnose renal damage by creatinine concentration, urea level and assessment of glomerular filtration rate may not fully reflect the degree of impaired renal function, while acute kidney injury is a well-known predictor of high hospital mortality among critically ill patients.Aims. The purpose of this study was to assess functional state of the kidneysby determining the serum concentration of the markers of kidney injury NGAL and Cystatin C in patients with pneumonia associated with influenza A/H1N1.Materials and methods. 85 patients with pneumonia associated with influenza A/H1N1 were examined, 30 patients with severe pneumonia, 55 with non-severe pneumonia. The control group was formed by 15 healthy donors. The serum concentration of NGAL and Cystatin C molecules was determined by flow cytometry on a Beckman Coulter analyzer (USA), using a Human Immune Checkpoint Panel 1 multiplex assay kit (Biolegend, USA). The glomerular filtration rate was calculated using the CKD-EPI formula.Results. It was found that in patients with severe pneumonia with the influenza A/H1N1, the concentration of NGAL increased 3.8 times compared with the control group, the concentration of Cystatin C increased 1.4 times, the glomerular filtration rate did not change.Conclusion. Timely diagnosis of subclinical kidney injury makes it possible to objectify the severity of the condition, make adjustments to therapy, which can help to an increase in the survival rate of critically ill patients
Активность системы негативной регуляции Т-клеточного ответа PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 у больных пневмониями на фоне гриппа A/H1N1
Systemic inflammation is an integral pathophysiological component of many critical illnesses. The systemic inflammatory response is based on a cascade of interactions leading to hypercytokinemia and, as a consequence, multiple organ failure, which is one of the main causes of mortality in intensive care units.Aim of the study. To evaluate the activity of the negative regulation system of T-cell response by determining the plasma levels of PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 molecules in pneumonia patients with influenza A (H1N1).Materials and methods. 85 patients with pneumonia and underlying influenza A (H1N1) were examined. Among them there were 30 patients with severe pneumonia, and 55 patients with non-severe pneumonia. Plasma levels of PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2 molecules was determined by flow cytofluorometry method.Results. In patients with severe pneumonia and underlying influenza A (H1N1), the plasma level of PD-1 receptor increased 4.6-fold, while the concentration of its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 increased 10.6 and 2.2-fold, respectively.Conclusion. Significant increase in levels of PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 in patients with pneumonia and underlying influenza A (H1N1) indicates the involvement of negative regulation system of T-cell response in the cascade of immunological reactions and is associated with the severe disease. Possible correction of immune reactions realized through PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 complex in critically ill patients is a promising research avenue.Системное воспаление является неотъемлемой патофизиологической составляющей многих критических состояний. В основе системного воспалительного ответа лежит каскад взаимодействий, приводящий к гиперцитокинемии, и, как следствие, к полиорганной недостаточности, которая является одной из основных причин летальности в отделениях интенсивной терапии.Цель работы. Оценить активность системы негативной регуляции Т-клеточного ответа, определив плазменную концентрацию молекул PD-1, PD-L1 и PD-L2 у больных пневмониями на фоне гриппа A/H1N1.Материалы и методы. Обследовали 85 больных пневмонией на фоне гриппа A/H1N1. Из них 30 пациентов с тяжелой пневмонией, 55 — с нетяжелой пневмонией. Методом проточной цитофлуометрии определяли плазменную концентрацию молекул PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2.Результаты. Установили, что у больных тяжелой пневмонией на фоне гриппа A/H1N1 плазменная концентрация рецептора PD-1 повышалась в 4,6 раза, при этом концентрация его лигандов PD-L1 и PD-L2 увеличивалась в 10,6 и в 2,2 раза, соответственно.Заключение. Статистически значимое увеличение концентрации PD-1 и его лигандов PD-L1 и PD-L2 у больных пневмонией на фоне гриппа A/H1N1 свидетельствует о вовлечении в каскад иммунологических реакций системы негативной регуляции Т-клеточного ответа и ассоциировано с тяжестью состояния. Возможная коррекция иммунных реакций, реализуемых через комплекс PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 у пациентов в критическом состоянии — это перспективное научное направление
