Newspaper Periodicals of the Orenburg Region on the Eve of a Political Transfer

В статье исследуется состояние газетной периодики Оренбуржья за последние тридцать лет. Показано взаимодействие органов власти и прессы в условиях рынка, противоречивость региональной государственной информационной политики, что обусловлено желанием органов власти и органов местного самоуправления всеми силами удержать электоральный ресурс СМИ. Делаются выводы о жесткой борьбе за концентрацию идеологических PR-ресурсов и сохранение рычагов влияния на руководство органов местного самоуправления.The article examines the state of the newspaper periodicals of the Orenburg region over the past thirty years. The interaction of authorities and the press in the market conditions, the inconsistency of the regional state information policy, which is caused by the desire of the authorities and local governments to retain the electoral resource of the media with all their might, is shown. Conclusions are drawn about a tough struggle for the concentration of ideological PR resources and the preservation of leverage over the leadership of local governments

Enabling magnetic resonance imaging of hollow-core microstructured optical fibers via nanocomposite coating

Optical fibers are widely used in bioimaging systems as flexible endoscopes capable of low-invasive penetration inside hollow tissue cavities. Here, we report on the technique which allows magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of hollow-core microstructured fibers (HC-MFs), paving the way for combing MRI and optical bioimaging. Our approach is based on Layer-by-Layer assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and magnetite nanoparticles on the inner core surface of HC-MFs. Incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles into polyelectrolyte layers renders HC-MFs visible for MRI and induces the red-shift in their transmission spectra. Specifically, the transmission shifts up to 60 nm have been revealed for the several-layers composite coating along with the high-quality contrast of HC-MFs in MRI scans. Our results shed light on marrying fiber-based endoscopy with MRI that opens novel possibilities for minimally invasive clinical diagnostics and surgical procedures in vivo.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure

Solar energy for green university: estimation of economic, environmental and image benefits

The paper considers the main components of the green university concept, the foreign experience of environmental transformation of higher education institutions, and the impact of eco-innovations implementation on strengthening universities’ position in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. The green strategy of Sumy State University, the results of its implementation, and prospects for improvement in terms of increasing renewable energy sources usage through the solar power plant installation are analysed. The effectiveness of the solar power plant investment project and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by replacing conventional electricity with electricity generated by the solar power plant are estimated. It is proved that in addition to economic and environmental benefits, the implementation of the solar energy project will positively impact the university’s image at the national and international level

Sustainable Development of EU countries: Assessment Methodology and Indicators

The aim of the article is to substantiate the methodology and indicators for assessment of sustainable development in EU countries at the present stage. The article suggests the use of certain indicators for assessment of sustainable development of EU countries: for economic evaluation – Index of Competitiveness and Index of Economic Freedom; for social evaluation — Life Quality Index, Human Development Index, Index of Knowledge Societies; for environmental evaluation — Environmental Sustainability Index and Environmental Efficiency Index. Each of the selected indexes in EU countries is analyzed. The methodology for calculating the ratio of the economic, social and environmental components of sustainable development for EU countries is presented. Emphasis is placed on the significant regional diversification of sustainable development and its components across EU countries, there identified countries of the strong, medium and weak sustainability

SBBOS AND PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE: EPIDEMIOLOGY, PATHOGENESIS, INFLUENCE ON CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES

The paper discusses the main aspects of the pathogenesis and incidence of SBBOS in the small intestine in patients with peptic ulcer of the duodenum associated with persistence of H. pylori; the effect of SBBOS on clinical manifestations. Diagnosis was made using the hydrogen breathing test with lactulose. The study found that SBBOS in patients with peptic ulcer associated with H. pylor is found in 62% and modifies the clinical pattern, prolonging the symptoms of gastric dyspepsia, provokes development of symptoms of intestinal dyspepsia, requires longer duration of treatment to achieve remission (clinical and endoscopic). This is the basis for its treatment
