Conceptual Problems of the Third Codification of the Legislation on Administrative Offenses

The article deals with problems related to the development of the concept of the new Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses. Retrospective analysis of the development of the legislation on administrative offenses is conducted, a brief description of the legislation of foreign “Western traditional” countries, regulating similar issues, as well as the legislation of former Republics of the USSR - Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, which successfully reformed the national legislation on administrative offenses. The Author grades the draft of the Code of Administrative Responsibility and the Code of Administrative Offences submitted to the State Duma in 2014-2015, as well as the initiative concept of the new code, according to which plans are made to start drafting a new bill. According to the Author, the proposed concept needs to be finalized, it does not define the basic idea, purpose and subject of legal regulation, place in the system of the current legislation (especially connection with criminal legislation)

Plasma probe characteristics in low density hydrogen pulsed plasmas

Probe theories are only applicable in the regime where the probe's perturbation of the plasma can be neglected. However, it is not always possible to know, a priori, that a particular probe theory can be successfully applied, especially in low density plasmas. This is especially difficult in the case of transient, low density plasmas. Here, we applied probe diagnostics in combination with a 2D particle-in-cell model, to an experiment with a pulsed low density hydrogen plasma. The calculations took into account the full chamber geometry, including the plasma probe as an electrode in the chamber. It was found that the simulations reproduce the time evolution of the probe IV characteristics with good accuracy. The disagreement between the simulated and probe measured plasma density is attributed to the limited applicability of probe theory to measurements of low density pulsed plasmas. Indeed, in the case studied here, probe measurements would lead to a large overestimate of the plasma density. In contrast, the simulations of the plasma evolution and the probe characteristics do not suffer from such strict applicability limits. These studies show that probe theory cannot be justified through probe measurements

Experimental observation of spontaneous spin polarization of electrons in hybridized states of transition element impurities in semiconductors

Experimental evidence of the possible existence of spontaneous spin polarization of the electron system in hybridized states formed by transition element impurity atoms in the conduction band of semiconducting crystals is examined. The details of a quantitative interpretation of experiments on the temperature dependence of the specific heat and elastic moduli of mercury selenide crystals with iron impurities confirm the feasibility of establishing the presence of electron spin polarization in this type of experiment, as well as the possible existence of polarization in the crystals studied here. Theoretical arguments support the observation of a thermodynamic anomalous Hall effect owing to spontaneously polarized donor electrons from low-concentration impurities. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC

harmacoeconomic feasibility of using the drug upadacitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the healthcare system of the Russian Federation

Aim. To assess the pharmacoeconomic feasibility of including the drug upadacitinib in restrictive lists and government funding programs to provide patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Materials and methods. Study Design — Retrospective Analysisof Literary Data. Pharmacoeconomic analysis methods — indirect comparison, clinical-economic analysis (cost-effectiveness analysis) using sensitivity analysis; budget impact analysis using sensitivity analysis. Data on the effectiveness of the analyzed drugs are taken from publications on clinical studies of the compared drugs; on the cost of drugs — the state register of marginal selling prices, data of the manufacturer’s company.Results. According to the results of indirect comparison, with respect to the frequency of achievement of the DAS28 test (CRP) <2.6, the effectiveness of the preparations tofacitinib and baricitinib does not significantly differ — OR = 1.275 (0.842; 1.931). At the same time, the preparation upadacitinib allows to achieve this indicator reliably more effective than the baricitinib — OR = 1.529 (1.021; 2.292) and tofacitinib — OR = 1.95 (1.285; 2.960). Costs for the use of upadacitinib against the background of methotrexate for 52 weeks will amount to 654 983.88 rubles, and will require 4.7 % less costs than the use of tofacitinib or baricitinib against the background of the use of methotrexate (687 217.53 rubles). In an indirect comparison of upadacitinib-baricitinib through the general comparator adalimumab, the effectiveness of upadacitinib with respect to the frequency of achievement of DAS28-CRP <2.6 turned out to be higher than baricitinib per 32.3 %. With indirect comparison of upadacitinib-tofacitinib under the same conditions, the efficiency of upadacitinib is 57.7 % higher than that of tofacitinib. Analysis of the impact on the budget showed that with the inclusion of the drug upadacitinib in the lists of VED and ONLS and a gradual increase in the proportion of patients, receiving upadacitinib instead of tofacitinib and baricitinib in the 1st year before 15 %, in the 2nd year — 30 %, in the 3rd year — 45 % for the group of 2.318 patients for 3 years, the reduction in the budget burden will be 1.4 % or 62.8 million rubles. With the provision of upadacitinib, 100 % of patients from the first year, the budget burden for 3 years will decrease by 4.7 % or 213.1 million rubles in comparison with the current regime.Conclusion. tte drug upadacitinib at a lower course cost has greater effectiveness in achieving clinical remission according to the indicator DAS28-CRP (<2.6), and therefore its use in the conditions of the healthcare system of the Russian Federation for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is pharmacoeconomic and expedient

Effect of Fermi-liquid interactions on the low-temperature de Haas - van Alphen oscillations in quasi-two-dimensional conductors

In this work we present the results of theoretical analysis of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in quasi-two-dimensional conductors. We have been studying the effect of the Fermi-liquid correlations of charge carriers on the above oscillations. It was shown that at reasonably low temperatures and weak electron scattering the Fermi-liquid interactions may cause noticeable changes in both amplitude and shape of the oscillations even at realistically small values of the Fermi-liquid parameters. Also, we show that the Fermi-liquid interactions in the system of the charge carriers may cause magnetic instability of a quasi-two-dimensional conductor near the peaks of quantum oscillations in the electron density of states at the Fermi surface, indicating the possibility for the diamagnetic phase transition within the relevant ranges of the applied magnetic fields.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

Dynamics of H atoms surface recombination in low-temperature plasma

The dynamics of H atom recombination on materials of interest for a EUV lithographer was studied under a longterm low-pressure H2 plasma exposure. The similarity of the experimental plasma with the typical EUV-induced plasma over the multi-layer mirrors (MLMs) surface of the EUV lithographic machine is demonstrated by means of 2D PIC MC simulation. The measurement of the temporal dynamics of the H atom surface loss probability is chosen for testing the surface modification during the treatment. Time-resolved actinometry of H atoms with Kr as the actinometer gas was used to detect the dynamics of the H-atom loss probability on the surface of Al, Ru, RVS and SiO2. It is demonstrated that significant changes of the materials surface occur only at the very beginning of the treatment and ist due to the surface heating and cleaning effects. After that no changes of the H recombination rate are found, indicating that the surface stays absolutely stable. A special test of the sensitivity of the used method to the state of surface was carried out. Dynamics of the H recombination rate changes with the small O2 addition clearly demonstrated modification of the Al surface due to oxidation with the next removal of the oxygen by the H2 plasma treatment. The rate of oxide removal is shown to be determined by plasma parameters such as the ion energy and flux to the surface
