The activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) (the key enzyme of polyamine synthesis) in different poikilothermic animals depends on the temperatures at which they were kept just before the enzyme assay. With an increase in temperature (within physiological limits) ODC activity rises 5-25-fold within several hours. With a decrease in temperature it falls at the same rate. This effect, studied on loach (Misgurnus fossilis) embryos in detail, was also shown for embryos, larvae and some adult tissues of many species. It is not, however, observed in homoiothermic animals (chick embryos and mammalian cells), nor in bacteria and plants. Changes in polyamine concentrations follow those in ODC activity, but more slowly and to a lesser extent. It is assumed that modulation of ODC activity changes as a result of its synthesis and degradation. We suggest that the temperature-dependence of ODC activity is a mechanism of adaptation which maintains the optimal cellular concentration of polyamines for each temperature.

It is known that flurenizide is a newly synthesized drug with pronounced antimicrobial, immunomodulatory functions. However, its effect on the functional properties of cells, in particular germ cells, is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of sialic acids as the final components of glycoconjugates, the main macroergic compound - ATP, to evaluate the generation of O2¯ in embryos of lobster (Misgurnus fossilis L.) under the influence of the antibiotic flurenizide. Studies have been performed on embryos of Misgurnus fossilis L. After fertilization, the zygotes were placed in Petri dishes with solutions of flurenizide in concentrations of 0.01; 0.05; 0.15; 1.0; 5.0; 15.0 mM, where allowed to develop. At the development stages, 2 blastomeres, 16 blastomeres, 64 blastomeres, VIII (256 blastomeres) and X divisions (1024 blastomeres) were sampled. In parallel, control studies were performed, where flureniside was not added to the samples. The content of sialic acids, ATP, superoxide anion radical was determined in the selected samples. We found that flureniside at the lowest concentration of 0.01 mM does not cause changes in the content of superoxide anion radical during early embryogenesis. The antibiotic in the maximum concentration causes changes in the content of free radical from the stage of development of 16 blastomeres to 1024 blastomeres, and from the stage of 64 blastomeres there is an increase in its number. Probably flurenizide at a concentration of 15.0 mM is the most reactive. It is known that flurenizide has antioxidant properties, but in its structure there are groups that have a toxic effect, which is most pronounced when exposed to high concentrations. In general, at the stage of development of 16 blastomeres there is a decrease in the amount of О2¯ under the influence of the studied antibiotic. At this time, the content of this free radical in the control increases, compared with other stages of development. Flureniside leads to an increase in the content of superoxide anion radical at development stage 2, 64 blastomeres and is particularly pronounced at concentrations from 0.05 to 15.0 mM at development stages 256 and 1024 blastomeres. 1024 blastomeres are the 10th stage of separation, where desynchronization occurs and the mitotic index decreases. Probably, the changes that take place at this stage of development are related to this. The antibiotic causes an increase in the content of sialic acids in the first stage of crushing (2 blastomeres). In step 16 of the blastomere, flureniside in low concentrations leads to a decrease in the content of sialic acids. However, already at the stage of separation of 64 and 256 blastomeres, the test substance in all concentrations causes a predominant decrease in the amount of sialic acids. At the last stage of synchronous crushing (1024 blastomeres) flurenizide in the maximum investigated concentration (15.0 mM) causes a significant accumulation of sialic acid content. Flureniside at concentrations of 0.15, 5.0 and 15.0 mМ causes a decrease in ATP content in loach embryos at the stage of development of 256 blastomeres by 28, 67 and 38 %, respectively. An increase in ATP content by 33 % occurs under the influence of flurenizide at a concentration of 1.0 mM. The ATP content also increases at the stage of development of embryos of 1024 blastomeres under the influence of flurenizide of all studied concentrations. Analysis of variance has shown that a significant contribution to the growth of ATP, sialic acid and superoxide anion radical, during the early embryogenesis of lobster embryos, is made by the factor of embryo development, while the factor of flureniside has a smaller contribution. Therefore, studies have shown that flurenizide causes increased generation of superoxide anion radical, decreased sialic acid content, as well as changes in ATP content in embryonic cells during early embryogenesis.

SummaryThe ontogenesis of tissue plasminogen activator in various tissues was studied in 10 embryos and 58 foetuses with a histochemical method.The first appearance of activator activity was seen in a 4-weeks old embryo. At 8-9 weeks it was seen in the eye, meninges, heart, lungs, kidney and vena cava. In the foetal heart high activity was found in the coronary vessels, which can be regarded as the vasa vasorum of the heart. In the lungs a moderate activity increased at 24 weeks of age, when vascularisation increases more rapidly. Intense activity was seen in the highly vascularized corneoscleral junction of the eye later involved in the drainage of aqueous humor.In the kidney the activity could be related to the vessels, while no activity was seen in the glomeruli, the collecting system or the pelvis. In the vessels the activator activity was fairly high. No activity was seen in any stage of development of the liver.The plasminogen activator activity may be of importance for maintaining the foetomaternal circulation and micro-circulation in rapidly growing foetal organs. In the embryo the enzyme pattern is dominated by protein synthetizing enzymes. During foetal development the enzyme pattern changes owing to supervention of enzymes necessary for the function of the various organs. Plasminogen activator belongs to this latter group. The appearance of plasminogen activator activity may therefore be regarded mainly as a sign of functional maturity of the foetal organs.

Transformations in the sphere of federal relations concern the most important directions of the reforming processes in the country. However, not all proposed and actually developing components of the federal reform seem well-argued and corresponding to long-term, strategic interests of the Russian statehood. The basic course of reform should meet the objective requirements of further decentralization of governing economic and social processes and the need to ensure strengthening the responsibility of RF subjects’ executive bodies and local self-management for steady social and economic development of their territories. The solution of these problems calls for a new model of federal policy of regional development, specification of some important components of the municipal reform as well as inserting certain amendments into the system of intergovernmental fiscal relations in order to stir up their stimulating function.

The transition of the Russian economy from plan to market is considered at a qualitative level. The analysis of economic dynamics in the transformation paradigm is conducted. The main stages of the transition process are discussed. Bonuses and costs due to the transition to market economy are considered. The reasons for the outstripping growth of well-being as compared to the growth of output are discussed. The signs of exhaustion of the potential of factors ensuring an abnormally high rate of recovery and accompanying welfare growth are discussed. The conclusion is made that the transformational recovery has been completed. The Russian economy has moved to the stage of development with relatively low growth rates of output and welfare, typical for stable (nontransition) economies.

Why have many transition economies succeeded by pursuing policies which are so different from the radical economic liberalization (shock therapy) that is normally credited for the economic success of countries of Central Europe? First, optimal policies are context dependent, they are specific for each stage of development and what worked in Slovenia cannot be expected to work in Mongolia. Second, even for the countries with the same level of development reforms that are necessary to stimulate growth are different; they depend on the previous history and on the path chosen. The reduction of government expenditure as a share of GDP did not undermine significantly the institutional capacity of the state in China, but in Russia and other CIS countries it turned out to be ruinous. The art of the policymaker is to create markets without causing government failure, as happened in many CIS countries.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative could be treated ambiguously. On the one hand, it is intended to transform the newly acquired economic potential of that country into its higher status in the world. China invites a lot of nations to build up gigantic transit corridors by joint efforts, and doing so it applies productively its capital and technologies. International transactions in RMB are also being expanded. But, on the other hand, the Belt and Road Initiative is also a necessity for China to cope with some evident problems of its current stage of development, such as industrial overcapacity, overdependence on imports of raw materials from a narrow circle of countries, and a subordinate status in global value chains. For Russia participation in the Belt and Road Initiative may be fruitful, since the very character of that project provides us with a space to manoeuvre. By now, Russian exports to China consist primarily of fuels and other commodities. More active industrial policy is needed to correct this situation . A flexible framework of the Belt and Road Initiative is more suitable for this objective to be achieved, rather than traditional forms of regional integration, such as a free trade zone.

New energy vehicles(NEV) as a new thing for sustainable development, in China, on the one hand has faced the rapid expansion of the market; the other hand, for the new NEV users, the current NEVs cannot keep up with the degree of innovation. This paper demonstrates the reasons for the existence of this systematic challenge, and puts forward the method of UX research which is different from the traditional petrol vehicles research in the early stage of development, which studies from the user's essence level, to form the innovative product programs which meet the needs of users and being real attractive.


The issues of determining the estimated cost of capital construction projects with the involvement of Federal budget funds at the stage of development of project documentation, during verification of the accuracy of determining the estimated cost and the initial (maximum) contract price are considered. On the basis of the assessment of amendments to urban planning legislation for the purpose of implementing a state contract by the contractor ( based on the results of competitive procedures or without competitive procedures by decision of state authorities), the procedure for forming the estimate as part of a state (municipal) contract, the price of which is firm, is presented. For the purpose of mutual settlements between the customer and the contractor for the work performed, the formation of primary accounting documentation, as well as for checking the work performed by regulatory authorities, an example of drawing up an estimate of the state (municipal) contract on the basis of grouping costs according to structural elements and complexes of work is given. The result of the research conducted was the development of regulations and the formation of criteria for their practical application by state bodies, institutions, organizations and other participants in the investment-construction process, as well as recipients of budget funds, who perform the functions of the state (municipal) customer, developer and technical customer.
