Ціннісна криза в сучасному світі: соціально-філософський аспект

Modern Society is in the deep value-based crisis. This crisis have taken place already some time ago and is linked to a process of corruption of traditional values and transition to the new forms of cooperation of the actors of social and political processes and relations between the state and the society. There are many reasons for the modern crisis. They are: planetary sized transition to the information-oriented society, that led to destruction of value-based positions; appearance of the new leaders on the political stage; escalation of the conflict between civilizations that is well seen in inadequate interpenetration of their values and cultures; understanding of the fact that values-based orientations of so called “free” market are not absolute and cannot be used for all purposes and etc. This happens because beside the material values in the society are also consider as important the values of the ideal sides of the life such as culture, religion, way of living and a lot of other things that make up an important part of civilizational basic principles of society. Why did consumptionism that was so much raised by modern liberals still not become the highest value in most societies thou it is the key element for development of the economic policy of the state? Is it possible also taking into account analyses of value-based crises to forecast the forks of the evolution of the modern world?Modern Society is in the deep value-based crisis.

Причин сьогоднішньої кризи досить багато: це і планетарного масштабу перехід до інформаційного суспільства, який став каталізатором зламу ціннісних координат; і поява нових лідерів на світовій політичній арені; і розвиток конфлікту цивілізацій, що проявляється в невідповідному взаємопроникненні властивих їм цінностей і культур; і розуміння того, що ціннісні орієнтації так званого «вільного» ринку не є універсальними і абсолютними і т.д. У зв’язку з обговорюваною проблемою, що стосується ролі ціннісних орієнтирів соціально-політичного розвитку, правомірно поставити питання про цілі розвитку суспільства. Адже крім виключно матеріальних благ, в суспільній свідомості значущими вважаються і чисто ідеалістичні сторони життя: культура, релігія, спосіб життя і багато іншого, що становить важливу частину цивілізаційних основ суспільства. Чому ідеологія споживання, що настільки підноситься сучасними лібералами, у багатьох суспільствах не стала найвищою цінністю, хоча і є найважливішим фактором розвитку економічної політики держави, і чи можна прогнозувати, виходячи з аналізу ціннісних криз, розвилки розвитку сучасного світу

Impact of EU carbon border adjustment mechanism on the economic efficiency of Russian oil refining

The carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) leads not only to the expected environmental changes, but also to the transformation of market environment. The study estimates the losses of the oil refining sector from the introduction of CBAM for the export of oil products from Russia to the countries of the European Union. An approach to assess the impact of CBAM on the cost of oil products has been formed and the mechanisms of its impact on the economy of Russian oil refineries have been identified. The study was carried out on the basis of actual data on the volume of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the current rules of the European emissions trading system. Decomposition of assessments of the CBAM impact was carried out into direct and indirect effects, as well as the effect of adaptation. It is shown that with the introduction of the CBAM mechanism, the prices of oil products in the domestic market will be determined not only by the logistical factor, but also by the requirements for environmental friendliness of oil refining. The introduction of CBAM will have a significant impact on the economics of oil refining, including refineries that do not export to the EU. The total impact of CBAM on the economy of Russian oil refineries will be about 250 mln dollars

NN potentials from inverse scattering in the J-matrix approach

An approximate inverse scattering method [7,8] has been used to construct separable potentials with the Laguerre form factors. As an application, we invert the phase shifts of proton-proton in the $^1S_0$ and $^3P_2-^3F_2$ channels and neutron-proton in the $^3S_1-^3D_1$ channel elastic scattering. In the latter case the deuteron wave function of a realistic $np$ potential was used as input.Comment: LaTex2e, 17 pages, 3 Postscript figures; corrected typo

Memory and synaptic plasticity are impaired by dysregulated hippocampal O-GlcNAcylation

O-GlcNAcylated proteins are abundant in the brain and are associated with neuronal functions and neurodegenerative diseases. Although several studies have reported the effects of aberrant regulation of O-GlcNAcylation on brain function, the roles of O-GlcNAcylation in synaptic function remain unclear. To understand the effect of aberrant O-GlcNAcylation on the brain, we used Oga+/- mice which have an increased level of O-GlcNAcylation, and found that Oga+/- mice exhibited impaired spatial learning and memory. Consistent with this result, Oga+/- mice showed a defect in hippocampal synaptic plasticity. Oga heterozygosity causes impairment of both long-term potentiation and long-term depression due to dysregulation of AMPA receptor phosphorylation. These results demonstrate a role for hyper-O-GlcNAcylation in learning and memory.ope

Prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in fish from farming ponds

The master‘s thesis was made at the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the Veterinary Academy of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. Scope of work: 45 pages, 9 tables, 17 pictures, 50 references used. Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a relatively new problem that has caused a lot of damage in the aquaculture of Lithuania and other countries. There are no certain studies in this field in Lithuania. Tank water is often tested for the purpose of determining the diversity and concentration of pathogenic microorganisms, but there is no data on antibiotic resistance in bacteria that are potentially infectious to human health. In the study, 28 fish samples were collected from different industrial ponds in Lithuania, out of which 196 strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic, 123 of which were selected for further studies. In addition, 100 different strains were isolated from 33 natural water fish, of which 31 strains of bacteria were selected for future research. The following bacterial strains were identified in the study by isolation and sequencing the most commonly: from industrial ponds - Pseudomonas spp. (55.4%), Aeromonas spp. (11.4%), Chyseobacterium spp. (11.4 %). From natural water ponds - Aeromonas spp. (25.8%) and Pseudomonas spp. (16.1%) The qualitative method (Kirby-Bauer) determined the resistance of the strains to seven antibiotics. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), in which the growth of the strains stops, was examined by a quantitative method. Was determined the resistance of gram-positive bacteria from industrial ponds to these different antibiotics - 57.1% of bacteria to tetracycline, 56.8% to penicillin, 42.8% to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. Pseudomonas spp. - to piperacillin, piperacillin / tazobactam and tobramycin (100%), ticarcillin with clavulanic acid (98.1%), ampicillin and cefuroxime (96.2%), ampicillin sulbactam (92.4%), aztreonam (90.7%). Aeromonas spp. – to ampicillins (81.8%) and ampicillin sulbactam (72.7%), ticarcillin clavulanate (72.7%). Chyseobacterium spp. – to aztreonam (100%), cefazolin (84.6%), ampicillin and ampicillin sulbactam (84.6%). Bacteria from natural water ponds – to ampicillin (100%), cefpodoxime (46.3%), imipinem (43.9%), chloramphenicol (36, 5%). Results were interpreted according to the CLSI and EUCAST breakpoint guidelines. According to the results of the study, it can be stated that the resistance to antibiotics is common in bacterial fish isolates from different Lithuanian water ponds
