This study is aimed at the evaluation of the trends of the doses from internal exposure of the adult public of the Bryansk region due to the consumption of the main dose-forming food products in the remote period after the Chernobyl NPP accident and the methodical features of the assessment of the predicted doses form the internal exposure. A new methodical approach to the calculation of the predicted doses of the public from internal exposure is based on the single exponential model of the change of the dose with a time-dependent period of a half-decrease. Results of the study allowed increasing the precision of calculation of the predicted doses to the public of the Bryansk region up to 2056. A similar method (single exponential model) can be applied for the external exposure as well. That allowed calculating predicted doses of total (external + internal) exposure. As an example, the paper includes the distribution of all settlements in the Bryansk region referred to the zones of radioactive contamination by the predicted average annual effective dose to the public and critical groups in the different time periods after the accident.

Aim of the study: analysis of the results of the radiation-hygienic monitoring of the territories of the Tula region, contaminated due to the Chernobyl NPP accident; concentration of 137Cs and 90Sr in the locally produced food products and analysis of the annual effective dose of the public. Materials and methods: the study was performed in the Tula region in 1997-2018. It included the evaluation of the indicators of the radiation safety of more than 50 thousand samples of the main food products, sampled in the areas of the radioactive “Chernobyl” contamination of the region with the simultaneous measurement of the external gamma-radiation dose rate in the stationary control points. Additionally, it included the assessment of the dynamics of concentration of 137Cs and 90Sr in food products, maximal values of mean annual effective doses of the public and contribution of the collective dose from medical exposure into the structure of the annual collective dose of the public. Results: The study allowed estimating the concentration of 137Cs and 90Sr in the main local food products. Estimated values of gamma radiation dose rate were stable and laid in the range of normal variations specific to the middle latitudes of the European part of Russia. The values of maximal mean annual effective doses of the public indicate the stable radiation environment and do not exceed 1 mSv. It should be mentioned that the contribution of collective dose from medical exposure into the annual collective dose of the public as well as the values of mean individual effective doses from medical exposure are reducing with the increase in the number of X-ray examinations. Conclusions: The lack of exceedances of the permissible levels of 137Cs and 90Sr in the locally produced food products and the reduction of the mean annual effective dose of the public indicates the possibility of the transfer of the settlements affected by the Chernobyl NPP accident into the normal living conditions within the program of the transfer of the settlements from the “Chernobyl” zone.

An article is devoted to the peculiarities of exposure doses forming of adult population due to the main dose-forming foodstuffs in the remote period after Chernobyl accident. On an example of the Bryansk and Tula regions, we carried out the assessment of the effective purification half-periods of the main dose-forming food products (milk and mushrooms) from 137Cs due to its radioactive decay and natural self-purification and the assessment of the periods of half-reduction of the average annual effective internal doses for the population of the Bryansk region divided on the 137Cs soil surface activity actual in the corresponding year (based on whole body measurements data). Obtained results allowed fulfilling the prognosis of the internal doses for the population of the Bryansk region for the time period up to 2056.

AbstractThe battle for meaning and influence between Latin American liberations theologians and the Vatican was one of the most significant conflicts in the global Catholic church of the twentieth century. With the election of the Argentinean Jorge Mario Bergoglio as head of the global church in 2013, the question about the legacy of liberation theology was actualized. The canonization of Archbishop Oscar Romero and the pope’s approximation to the public figure of Gustavo Gutiérrez signaled a new approach to the liberation theology movement in the Vatican. This article argues that Pope Francis shares some of the main theological concerns as pontiff with liberation theology. Although the pope remains an outsider to liberation theology, he has in a sense solved the conflict between the Vatican and the Latin American social movement. Through an analysis of ecclesial documents and theological literature, his can be discerned on three levels. First, Pope Francis’ use of certain theological ideas from liberation theology has been made possible and less controversial by post-cold war contexts. Second, Pope Francis has contributed to the solution of this conflict through significant symbolic gestures rather than through a shift of official positions. Third, as Pope Francis, the Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergoglio has appropriated certain elements that are specific to liberation theology without acknowledging his intellectual debt to it.

AbstractFor several years the OSCE has attempted to lobby and forge the political will to develop police reform in Kyrgyzstan. In June 2010 its police did not have the capacity to anticipate and prevent destabilisation and to maintain a neutral position in the management of the interethnic conflict. The fact that ethnic minorities are significantly underrepresented in the police contributed to this. As a result, the population's trust further deteriorated from an already existing critically low level. The then incumbent Transitional Government understood the need to support the police in restoring trust and confidence and hence requested the OSCE's assistance. A special project called the Community Security Initiative was created and a team of 28 international police advisors, supported by 21 local staff, deployed in January 2011 in twelve sensitive police stations including Osh. Using a new approach to communication/interaction these advisors try to change the perception of both the police and the population when addressing and resolving daily security problems in the communities. This requires a new and inventive approach putting peoples' security in the forefront. The main objective of CSI is to support the Kyrgyz Government in three main areas: improving relations between the police and the public, supporting and advising the MOI in respecting police ethics standards including human rights, and providing support and advice in the area of multiethnic policing.

Summary This paper examines Ann Fisher’s (1719–1778) most important and influential work, A New Grammar (1745?). In this grammar, the author did not follow the trend of making English grammar fit the Latin pattern, a common practice still in the eighteenth century. Instead, she wrote an English grammar based on the nature and observation of her mother tongue. Besides, she scattered throughout her grammar a wide set of teaching devices, the ‘examples of bad English’ being her most important contribution. Her innovations and her new approach to the description of English grammar were indeed welcomed by contemporary readers, since her grammar saw almost forty editions and reprints, it influenced other grammarians, for instance Thomas Spence (1750–1814), and it reached other markets, such as London. In order to understand more clearly the value of this grammar and of its author, this grammar has to be seen in the context of her life. For this reason, we will also discuss some details of her unconventional lifestyle: unconventional in the sense that she led her life in the public sphere, not happy with the prevailing idea that women should be educated for a life at home.

The article discusses the issues of the activity of the public catering system during the Soviet period, in particular, the policy and problems in this area affecting the issues of ensuring the material and technical base, as well as the need of the population itself in the field of public catering.During the years of Soviet rule, new directions in the public catering system were formed. A new approach was integrated in the management structure and in provision.A differentiated approach was introduced in the direction of public catering, i.e. reform in the issue of service, the cost of public catering. In other words, the cost price and service (in the public catering system) in large enterprises differed sharply from the prices in schools.

Based on the analysis of the wireless sensor networks in the application of the public utilities, a new approach which can change channel dynamically in buildings using wireless sensor networks was designed and implemented. In this paper, the WSN platform supported for AES encryption. And on the basis of the TDMA protocol, using linear regression and BBS generator, a new WSN protocol which has the ability to change communication channel dynamically was designed. Compared with traditional network protocols, the proposed method can decrease the degree of network congestion, energy consumption, program complexity and easy to achieve.
