In the article we discuss some questions connected with cognitive structures and behavior algorithms of an artificial social agent. We suggest a cognitive Plan-Image architecture that is based on the concepts of TOTE model by Miller, Galanter and Pribra

Innovative opportunities and reserves of contemporary marketing communication

Purpose: The article aims to present characteristics and research of peculiarities, forms and categories of innovative communication, as well as to evaluate the reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of traditional marketing communication. Design/Methodology/Approach: The article considers the existing practice of creative implementation of theoretical and applied marketing knowledge in the activities of organizations. The paper substantiates contemporary and perspective innovative concepts and tendencies of marketing communication. Findings: The manuscript highlights the reasons for changing the classical marketing paradigm and the direction of innovative development of communication interaction concepts. In the course of enterprise’s innovative development management marketing assumes a new dimension and plays a special role in the management process. The role of traditional means of communication has declined with the development of Internet technologies, the use of interactive personalized marketing communication with consumers and the personalization of communication influences has become increasingly popular. Practical implications: Current trends in the development of relationship marketing are characterized by a significant increase in the role of such an important component of its complex as “promotion”, as well as the intensification of the development and implementation of innovative technologies and tools. Originality/Value: The originality of this approach consists in the analysis of the features and prospects of the innovative development of the marketing and communication sphere.peer-reviewe

The authors thank Ph. D. M. K. Alibaeva, Ph. D. I. A. Gudkova and Ph. D. I. V. Korolkova for participation in the research.The review summarizes experimental data on the phase formation, structure and properties of new complex oxide compounds group - triple molybdates containing tetrahedral molybdate ion, two different singly charged cation, together with tri- or divalent cation. The several structural families of these compounds were distinguished and it shown that many of them are of interest as luminescent, laser, ion-conducting or nonlinear optical materials.The work is executed at partial support of the Russian Foundation for basic research (projects No. 08-03-00384, 13-03-01020 and 14-03-00298)

Simulating budget system in the agent model of the Russian Federation spatial development

In this paper we present methods, data and algorithms for simulating budget system in the model of the Russian Federation spatial development. We show the place of this task in methodology of our research and give a brief overview of the background results. We determine revenues and expenditures of the budgets and funds on the basis of federal laws, Budget and Tax codes of the Russian Federation. For validation of the budget system algorithms in the model we conduct retrospective modeling for the federal budget and the budget of Belgorod region in 201

Inverse association of circulating SIRT1 and adiposity. A study on underweight, normal weight, and obese patients

Context: Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent deacetylases, cellular sensors to detect energy availability, and modulate metabolic processes. SIRT1, the most studied family member, influences a number of tissues including adipose tissue. Expression and activity of SIRT1 reduce with weight gain and increase in conditions of starvation. Objective: To focus on SIRT1 plasma concentrations in different conditions of adiposity and to correlate SIRT1 with fat content and distribution, energy homeostasis and inflammation in under-weight, normal-weight, and obese individuals. Materials and Methods: 21 patients with anorexia nervosa, 26 normal-weight and 75 patients with obesity were evaluated. Body fat composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, ultrasound liver adiposity, echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness (EFT), inflammatory (ESR, CRP, and fibrinogen), and metabolic (FPG, insulin, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides) parameters, calculated basal metabolic rate (BMR) and plasma SIRT1 (ELISA) were measured. Results: SIRT1 was significantly higher in anorexic patients compared to normal-weight and obese patients (3.27 ± 2.98, 2.27 ± 1.13, and 1.36 ± 1.31 ng/ml, respectively). Linear regression models for each predictor variable adjusted for age and sex showed that SIRT1 concentration was inversely and significantly correlated with EFT, fat mass %, liver fat content, BMR, weight, BMI, WC, LDL-cholesterol, insulin, ESR. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that age and EFT were the best independent correlates of SIRT1 (β = -0.026 ± 0.011, p = 0.025, and β = -0.516 ± 0.083, p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Plasma SIRT1 shows a continuous pattern that inversely follows the whole spectrum of adiposity. SIRT1 significantly associates with EFT, a strong index of visceral fat phenotype, better than other indexes of adiposity studied here

НОВА ПАРАДИГМА СИСТЕМИ СТАЛОГО ВОДОКОРИСТУВАННЯ ЯК СКЛАДОВОЇ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ

The need to develop a new paradigm of the sustainable water use system as a component of the national economy is proved. A strategic tool for rationalizing water use is proposed with the aim of ensuring the transition of the state and its regions to sustainable development. The need to develop an effective set of tools, methods, levers and regulators of a goal-oriented influence on sustainable water use in Ukraine, taking into account resource constraints, is recognized. The strategic toolkit is considered for subjects of management of five levels.Доказана необходимость разработки новой парадигмы системы устойчивого водопользования как составляющей национальной экономики.

Magnetic properties of the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain system β\beta-TeVO4_{4}

The magnetic susceptibility and magnetization of high quality single crystal beta-TeVO4 are reported. We show that this compound, made of weakly coupled infinite chains of VO5 pyramids sharing corners, behaves as a S = 1/2 one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet. From magnetic experiments we deduce the intrachain antiferromagnetic coupling constant J/kB = 21.4 $\pm$ 0.2 K. Below 5 K a series of three phase transitions at 2.26, 3.28 and 4.65 K is observed.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physical Review

Risk-based Regulation of Russian Universities: Risk Indicators and Their Use for State Control Purposes

The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of indicators of the risk of low-quality education in Russian universities. In 2021-2022, the approach to higher education inspections has changed significantly: accreditation monitoring has been introduced, it includes eight indicators. However, this monitoring was formed by the expert community, so the results of its testing in practice have yet to be analyzed. The purpose of this work is to identify risk factors for estimation the likelihood of violations of mandatory requirements by universities, and to develop recommendations for expanding the set of risk indicators included in accreditation monitoring. The main methods used in the work are methods of quantitative analysis, including econometric modeling. The novelty of the work is determined by the approach used: risk indicators are identified using a quantitative econometric analysis of data on the observed characteristics and results of inspections of Russian universities in 2015-2019. The results of the study indicate the possibility of supplementing the set of accreditation monitoring indicators. As additional indicators, first of all, various characteristics of research activities of universities can be used. Such a change in accreditation monitoring will increase its effectiveness as a preliminary assessment tool used in the implementation of a risk-based approach to state control. In cases where the assessment of even extended monitoring is ambiguous, the quantitative model proposed by the authors can be used
