Hard asphalt has been applied and studied on Chinese highway asphalt pavement for nearly 20 years. Although it has excellent road performance, it has not been applied on a large scale. The main reason is that there is no clear technical standard and technical system for hard asphalt, which restricts the popularization and application of hard asphalt as a good material in the highway engineering. Therefore, it is urgent to formulate standards for hard asphalt products of highway engineering in China. In order to promote the large-scale application of hard asphalt for asphalt pavement in China, a draft definition of hard asphalt for highway use and a draft technical standard for engineering are proposed through a large number of tests and research analysis of various samples, drawing lessons from the current technical specifications and relevant international standards for hard asphalt.

Nowadays the system of transaction tax control between interdependent persons in Russian Federation is close to international standards both by the process of transaction tax control between interdependent persons, by used monitoring instruments, and by the mechanism for pricing agreement conclusions.In order to analyze the tax control of transactions between interdependent persons, it is advisable to consider the process of transaction tax control between interdependent persons that has been carried out in Russian Federation since the 2000-ies.The following research methods were used in order to identify the results of transaction tax control analysis among interdependent persons: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison methods, economic-mathematical and econometric methods.The results of transaction tax control analysis between interdependent persons show that the issues of transaction tax control between interdependent persons became more relevant every year. The authors of the article also found that the number of disputes increased by 1673%, which is undoubtedly the indicator of the large-scale growth concerning the relevance of problematic moments in the process of tax control between interdependent persons. The developed analysis and the forecast of the time series with the application of econometric methods allows to draw the conclusion that certain negative tendencies in the process of transaction tax control implementation between interdependent persons will be preserved.The tendencies that have appeared in the area of transaction tax control between interdependent persons since the 2000-ies, exist up to the present time. The forecast of the time series compiled on the basis of actual data confirms that the number of tax disputes will grow after 2013. Therefore, in order to neutralize these trends, further research is needed in terms of transaction tax control causes, problems and risks determination between interdependent persons in Russian Federation

Research methods. The following methods are used in the research: analysis and synthesis, analytical generalizations, graphic - in the analysis of the production and sale of apples by various producers, foreign trade; balance sheet - when determining the market equilibrium of supply and demand, their changes and mutual influence, export and import supplies of fruits; statistical, extrapolation, design and calculation, mathematical modeling, decomposition of the time series - when forecasting the situation and sales volumes, taking into account the seasonality in the domestic apple market. Research results. The principal trends and peculiarities of functioning have been determined, the forecast of the domestic apple market development has been made, and structural changes in their export-import supplies have been established. On the basis of the formed balance of apples, the level of consumer security and expenses of the population was determined. The parameters of forecasting the sales volumes of these fruits by all categories of farms are considered. An economic forecasting model has been built taking into account the seasonal nature of the market. Scientific novelty. Methodical approaches to forecasting the apple market, taking into account the seasonal component, have been further developed, in particular, the optimal periods for forecasting, due to the specifics of the horticulture industry, have been established, which makes it possible to improve the quality and accuracy of the forecast. Practical significance. Taking into account that certain scientific aspects regarding forecasting the market conditions of fruit and berry products are debatable, the forecast of apple sales, taking into account the seasonal component, is an important element of strategic long-term planning for the development of the horticulture industry as part of the national economy.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

Аnnotation Purpose. To increase the efficiency of technological processes of grain harvesting by large-scale agricultural producers due to the rational use of combine harvesters available on the farm. Methods. In the course of the research the methods of system analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, system-factor and system-event approaches, graphic method were used. Results. Characteristic events that occur during the harvesting of grain crops, both within a single production unit and the entire agricultural producer are identified. A method for predicting time intervals of use and downtime of combine harvesters of production units has been developed. The roadmap of substantiation the rational seasonal scenario of the use of grain harvesters of large-scale agricultural producers is developed, which allows estimating the efficiency of each of the scenarios of multivariate placement of grain harvesters on fields taking into account influence of natural production and agrometeorological factors on the efficiency of technological cultures. Conclusions 1. Known scientific and methodological approaches to optimization of machine used in agriculture do not take into account the risks of losses of crops due to late harvesting, as well as seasonal natural and agrometeorological conditions of each production unit of the farmer, which requires a new approach to the rational use of rational seasonal combines of large agricultural producers. 2. The developed new approach to the substantiation of the rational seasonal scenario of the use of combined harvesters of large-scale agricultural producers allows taking into account the costs of harvesting of grain and the cost of the lost crop because of the lateness of harvesting at optimum variants of attraction of additional free combine harvesters. provides more profit. 3. The practical application of the developed road map will allow large-scale agricultural producers to use combine harvesters more efficiently and reduce harvesting costs. Keywords: combine harvesters, use, production divisions, risk, seasonal scenario, large-scale agricultural producers.

The article presents the analysis of the state youth policy as an instrument of influence on the state and social development of youth, its social activity. The contradictions that exist between the performance indicators declared by the state policy and the real problems of youth, determined by the living conditions, are indicated. Based on the results of all-Russian and regional sociological studies and statistics, the motives of migratory movements of youth from their territories of residence to the centers of gravity of the country and foreign countries that have more attractive living and employment conditions for youth are justified. Using the example of the Russian Far East, the dysfunctional consequences of the clerical-bureaucratic approach laid down in the state youth policy to quantify the state of youth ignoring its large-scale migration outflow from the territories of residence are substantiated. Scientific and practical recommendations on improvement of indicators of the state youth policy promoting strengthening of its role in providing the basic needs of youth in various spheres of activity, especially in development of youth business are offered.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of healthcare in Russia. Scientific novelty of the study: the authors suggest that the efficiency of the health care system depends on the state of such indicators of public health as life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. Life expectancy is an integrated demographic indicator that characterizes the number of years that a person would live on average, provided that the age-specific mortality rate of a generation would be at the level for which the indicator was calculated throughout life. The indicator ‘healthy life expectancy’ is formed by subtracting the number of years of unhealthy life (due to chronic diseases, disabilities, mental and behavioral disorders, etc.) from the life expectancy indicator. Results: the article presents an analysis of the current state of Russian healthcare based on statistical data provided by the Federal State Statistics Service, the World Health Organization, and world rankings. Attention is focused on the perceptions of Russians about the quality of medical services and Russian healthcare. Conclusions about the current state of health care in Russia are formulated by the authors, based on a secondary analysis of statistical data, as well as data from sociological research presented by leading Russian sociological centers.

When Austrian composer Alban Berg was working on his opera Lulu, he wrote three Baudelaire songs as a Konzertaria entitled Der Wein. Premiered in 1930, Der Wein is a large-scale work for voice and orchestra. Berg uses a German translation by Stefan George, but the published score is in parallel texts, accommodating the French verse line. The chapter also considers a ‘hidden’ Baudelaire setting from Berg’s 1926 Lyric Suite for string quartet. The analysis covers: (a) the context of composition; (b) the connections established between selected poems; (c) the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and (d) how the data shape an evaluation of Berg’s settings of Baudelaire. Evidence suggests that Berg’s settings of Baudelaire are loosely entangled; the highly prescriptive score affects syntax, semantics, and prosody. Yet, because Der Wein has stood the test of time, the settings are deemed loosely accretive.
