Estimation of efficiency from the perspective of an external investor draws a high enough interest in assessing the efficiency of risk management. Since the methods risk management are nontransparent information, the carrying out of empirical research is enough complicated. However, in a number of papers the elements of the assessment of so-called "market efficiency" are traceable, among which the most common factors are: the behavior of stock prices at the moment of collapse of the market, lower average cost of capital. However, a comprehensive study on risk management efficiency of companies from the perspective of stakeholders has not yet provided. The aim of this study is to fill this gap. The purpose of this study is as follows: to identify how stakeholders assess the key factors of risk management efficiency, and to create a comprehensive approach to the implementation of this assessment with the using of statistical research techniques and methods. The object of study is the Russian real sector of economy, the subject of study is the risk management efficiency of companies. In this article author provides the results of the survey on the evaluation the risk management efficiency, processed by means of statistical analysis methods calculation of the actual ratings of Russian companies on the basis of the criteria obtained from the survey, as well as the results of the regression analysis of the impact of identified efficiency criteria of risk management on the investment attractiveness of Russian companies. In the article Russian companies are ranked based on their risk management efficiency.

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to present the latest scholarly trends in the field of social capital in libraries, to review research concepts published by LIS professionals and to suggest further research possibilities in this area. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a review and critical analysis of literature associated with research on social capital in libraries to highlight its importance for the development of LIS and its impact on the functioning of environments linked with various types of libraries. The goal of literature analysis was to determine the current condition of research on social capital in libraries. The main trends were identified and the need for further qualitative analyses, which are missing at the moment, was confirmed. Findings It was determined that, so far, LIS professionals have focussed mainly on the role of municipal libraries in developing social capital, the problem of building trust, especially in immigrant circles and the impact of libraries on promoting a civil society. Academic libraries, rural libraries, organisational capital in libraries and individual social capital of librarians were a much less frequent subject of research. The role of libraries in developing social capital in educational (primary and secondary education) and professional (non-university professionals) circles is practically non-existent in research, and it will require in-depth studies and analyses in the coming years. Originality/value This paper constitutes a synthetic review of the latest research concepts concerning social capital in libraries. It identifies the most important research trends and areas that so far have not been explored and suggests research methods to help LIS professionals design future research in this area more effectively.

The study aimed to examine the impact of the oropharyngeal microbiome in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and to clarify whether there might be a bidirectional link between the oral microbiota and the brain in a context of dysbiosis-related neuroinflammation. We selected nine articles including three systemic reviews with several articles from the same research team. Different themes emerged, which we grouped into 5 distinct parts concerning the oropharyngeal phageome, the oropharyngeal microbiome, the salivary microbiome and periodontal disease potentially associated with schizophrenia, and the impact of drugs on the microbiome and schizophrenia. We pointed out the presence of phageoma in patients suffering from schizophrenia and that periodontal disease reinforces the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Moreover, saliva could be an interesting substrate to characterize the different stages of schizophrenia. However, the few studies we have on the subject are limited in scope, and some of them are the work of a single team. At this stage of knowledge, it is difficult to conclude on the existence of a bidirectional link between the brain and the oral microbiome. Future studies on the subject will clarify these questions that for the moment remain unresolved.

When Rastafarians began to petition the Tanzanian government for the “right of entry” in 1976, they benefitted from a history of linkages between Jamaica and Tanzania, facilitated largely by the personal and political friendship between Julius Nyerere and Prime Minister of Jamaica, Michael Manley. This is the subject of the third chapter, which provides essential context for the repatriation. The chapter begins by unearthing the pan-African politics of Michael Manley, which he constructed after appropriating Rastafarian symbols and consciousness into his political campaigns. It also puts a spotlight on the extent to which African leaders of newly independent states helped to define the pan-Africanism of this period by detailing the impact of Julius Nyerere on Manley’s thinking. Finally, it juxtaposes Manley’s acceptance in pan-African circles across Africa with his personal struggle over his own perceived distance from blackness, as a member of Jamaica’s “brown’ elite. In the end, Rastafari was absolutely central to generating the brand of politics surrounding race, color and class in the moment of decolonization. The history of repatriation transgresses analytical boundaries between state and nonstate actors.

Fire exposure can have a significant impact on the structural integrity and robustness of precast concrete beam-to-column connections. Given the importance of fire safety in the design of a structure, it is critical to understand the damage that may occur in the event of a fire to be able to prevent the building from collapsing. No comprehensive study has been carried out to determine the effects of fire on semirigid and pinned concrete beam-to-column connections. Most studies focused on the impact of exposure of rigid concrete beam-to-column connections to high temperatures. This paper is a comprehensive review of the literature on the performance of precast concrete beam-to-column connections under fire conditions. The key areas in this review are the moment-rotation-temperature characteristics and fire effect on precast concrete beam-to-column connections. This paper focuses primarily on the case studies of real fires, large-scale fire tests, computer simulations and analytical models, fire resistance tests on the connection elements, and assessment and rehabilitation of fire-damaged precast concrete. The paper also discusses the current issues and possible challenges.

Introduction: digitalization has generated qualitative changes in many spheres of public life. The science of civil law cannot stay out of these changes. It is necessary to define new directions of scientific research, including in related fields of knowledge. Cross-sectoral research methods will take a key place in the study of the impact of digital technologies on public relations. Purpose of the research: identification of new thematic (subject) areas for the science of civil law. The relevance of these areas is determined by the high degree of penetration of digital technologies into economic and social processes. Methods: general scientific (dialectical) method, as well as such particular scientific methods of cognition, formal legal, comparative legal, logical. Discussion: a change in the subject areas of research under the influence of a new technological reality occurs in all sciences and fields of activity. Artificial intelligence technologies and robotic technology are being actively studied not only at the level of engineering sciences, mechatronics, etc., but also become an object of study in philosophy, ethics, medicine, linguistics and philology. Outside of this scientific context, research in the field of civil law is impossible. Representatives of other scientific areas determine social risks, threats and opportunities, which later take on specific outlines in the form of legal regulation models. Conclusions: the inclusion of the science of civil law in the subject areas of the new technological reality is dictated by the high social risks of technologization of law. For a long time, civil law managed to maintain a balance between the needs of civil circulation and the protection of the natural rights of citizens. Today, it is also necessary to maintain a balance between the development of digital technologies, reducing regulatory barriers and protecting the rights of citizens, as the least protected category of participants in the digitalization process.

Цель работы заключается в обобщении отдельных направлений материализации дефектов указанных отраслей законодательства и оценке влияния данных дефектов на деятельность уголовно-исполнительной системы. В основе исследования лежит общенаучный анализ и специально-научный формально-юридический метод. Исследование основано на оценке технико-юридической составляющей отдельных правовых норм, имеющих значение для деятельности учреждений и органов, исполняющих уголовные наказания. Результатом работы является формирование открытого перечня разновидностей дефектов части системы права, изучаемой в рамках установленного предмета исследования. Материалы могут быть использованы для совершенствования юридико-технической составляющей уголовного, уголовно-процессуального и уголовно-исполнительного законодательства. Выводы. Объем и актуальность предмета исследования позволяют сделать вывод, что в настоящий момент рано говорить о его исчерпании. Определенное в статье направление нуждается в дальнейшей разработке. Теоретическая разработка возможна и необходима и в рамках отраслевых юридических исследований с целью выявления конкретных недостатков юридической техники, и в рамках теоретико-правовых исследований с целью обобщения дефектов и поиска универсальных путей их устранения. The subject of the study was the interaction of criminal, criminal procedure and penal enforcement legislation and its impact on the activities of institutions and bodies executing criminal penalties. The purpose of the work is to generalize certain areas of materialization of defects in these branches of legislation and to assess the impact of these defects on the activities of the penal system. The research is based on General scientific analysis and specially scientific formal legal method. The study is based on the assessment of the technical and legal component of certain legal norms that are important for the activities of institutions and bodies executing criminal penalties. The result of the work was the formation of an open list of varieties of defects of the part of the system of law studied within the established subject of research. The materials can be used to improve the legal and technical component of criminal, criminal procedure and penal enforcement legislation. Summary. The volume and relevance of the subject of research, allow us to conclude that at the moment it is too early to talk about its exhaustion. The direction defined in the article needs further development. Theoretical development is possible and necessary both in the framework of branch legal studies in order to identify specific disadvantages of legal equipment, and in the framework of legal theoretical studies, in order to generalize the defects and find universal ways to eliminate them.

ABSTRACT Impulsive encounters between astrophysical objects are usually treated using the distant tide approximation (DTA) for which the impact parameter, b, is assumed to be significantly larger than the characteristic radii of the subject, rS, and the perturber, rP. The perturber potential is then expanded as a multipole series and truncated at the quadrupole term. When the perturber is more extended than the subject, this standard approach can be extended to the case where rS ≪ b < rP. However, for encounters with b of order rS or smaller, the DTA typically overpredicts the impulse, Δv, and hence the internal energy change of the subject, ΔEint. This is unfortunate, as these close encounters are the most interesting, potentially leading to tidal capture, mass stripping, or tidal disruption. Another drawback of the DTA is that ΔEint is proportional to the moment of inertia, which diverges unless the subject is truncated or has a density profile that falls off faster than r−5. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper presents a fully general, non-perturbative treatment of impulsive encounters which is valid for any impact parameter, and not hampered by divergence issues, thereby negating the necessity to truncate the subject. We present analytical expressions for Δv for a variety of perturber profiles, apply our formalism to both straight-path encounters and eccentric orbits, and discuss the mass-loss due to tidal shocks in gravitational encounters between equal-mass galaxies.

The article considers the issues of statistical accounting of of persons of child age who have fallen into difficult life situation. The paper сarries out a comparison of the conceptual apparatus, revealing such a public category as “children” and gradation parameters of specified population groups from the point of view of revealing the object of study. The authors justify the need to characterize the subject of the study – a difficult life situation in which both an adult and a child can get, highlight particularly the age group “teenagers”. The study presents features of difficult life situations in which children and adolescents can get. The article lists the areas of occurrence of complex circumstances in which difficult life situations are formed and developed. Based on the analysis, the authors propose and substantiate an original system of indicators for assessing persons of child age who have fallen into a difficult life situation.
