The article examines the theoretical and methodological basis of the processes associated with the problems of increasing the competitiveness of the textile industry in the context of structural changes in the national economy. The existing shortcomings in this regard and their impact on the competitiveness of the textile industry have been assessed. According to the results of the analysis, scientific proposals and practical recommendations aimed at overcoming the problems of increasing the competitiveness of the textile industry in the context of structural changes have been formed.

Realist Conception

Recent developments in U.S.-Soviet relations have prompted reassessments of the effects that nuclear weapons may have had on world politics. If there has been a “nuclear revolution,” both the meaning of that term and its precise implications for the behavior of states remain unclear. This article agrees with the realist argument that the discovery of nuclear weapons did not by itself fundamentally change the structure of the international system. However, it argues that the subsequent condition of nuclear deterrence, resulting from the widespread deployment of nuclear weapons and sophisticated delivery systems during the 1960s, does constitute a source of structural change. Under nuclear deterrence, the superpowers have acquired a new function—“joint custodianship” of the system—which differentiates their role from that of other states. This suggests that the international system has a new organizing principle that varies from the standard realist conception of anarchy. Structural change led to the rise of detente in the 1970s; but because the processes by which leaders in Washington and Moscow adjusted to structural change were not always parallel, this detente was limited in scope and could not be sustained. As processes of adjustment begin to converge, the modified structural approach proposed in this article predicts that superpower cooperation in a new detente of the 1990s will go beyond what was achieved in the 1970s and also beyond what would be consistent with standard realist arguments.

AbstractNanobiosensors are convenient, practical, and sensitive analyzers that detect chemical and biological agents and convert the results into meaningful data between a biologically active molecule and a recognition element immobilized on the surface of the signal transducer by a physicochemical detector. Due to their fast, accurate and reliable operating characteristics, nanobiosensors are widely used in clinical and nonclinical applications, bedside testing, medical textile industry, environmental monitoring, food safety, etc. They play an important role in such critical applications. Therefore, the design of the biosensing interface is essential in determining the performance of the nanobiosensor. The unique chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials have paved the way for new and improved sensing devices in biosensors. The growing demand for devices with improved sensing and selectivity capability, short response time, lower limit of detection, and low cost causes novel investigations on nanobiomaterials to be used as biosensor scaffolds. Among all other nanomaterials, studies on developing nanobiosensors based on metal oxide nanostructures, graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, and the widespread use of these nanomaterials as a hybrid structure have recently attracted attention. Nanohybrid structures created by combining these nanostructures will directly meet the future biosensors’ needs with their high electrocatalytic activities. This review addressed the recent developments on these nanomaterials and their derivatives, and their use as biosensor scaffolds. We reviewed these popular nanomaterials by evaluating them with comparative studies, tables, and charts.

Abstract Reaction sequences where more bonds are sequentially formed (cascade reactions) may be started either by a stoichiometric or by a catalytic reagent, and proceed in an enantio- diastereo- or non-stereo- selective manner. A wide variety of such strategies has been developed, including both stoichiometric and catalytic ones. Within the widely developed cascade reactions field, this chapter is not meant to be omni-comprehensive, but to offer an as much as possible complete overview on organocatalytic stereoselective methods. We embrace the more general definitions by Tietze and Denmark, considering as cascade reactions all those one-pot processes that involve two or more bond formations, where each subsequent step is enabled by a structural change caused by the previous one. We will include both two- and multi-component reactions where one or more organocatalysts may be responsible either for all or just some of the occurring transformations. Organocascades will be reported according to the number of involved catalytic cycles. In the following paragraphs, only cascade reactions that are stereoselective by means of a chiral catalyst will be considered. It will be shown that multiple possibilities, relying on different catalysis modes, are available to achieve the same reaction sequence.
