Stress And Strain Rate

AbstractPolar ice is known to be one of the most anisotropic natural materials. For a given fabric the polycrystal viscous response is strongly dependent on the actual state of stress and strain rate. Within an ice sheet, grounded-ice parts and ice shelves have completely different stress regimes, so one should expect completely different impacts of ice anisotropy on the flow. The aim of this work is to quantify, through the concept of enhancement factors, the influence of ice anisotropy on the flow of grounded ice and ice shelves. For this purpose, a full-Stokes anisotropic marine ice-sheet flowline model is used to compare isotropic and anisotropic diagnostic velocity fields on a fixed geometry. From these full-Stokes results, we propose a definition of enhancement factors for grounded ice and ice shelves, coherent with the asymptotic models used for these regions. We then estimate realistic values for the enhancement factors induced by ice anisotropy for grounded ice and ice shelves.

Introduction. The presence of controversial issues and discussions on accounting of non-current assets amortization and depreciationsuggest the relevance of topic of the research. Among these problems we can determine the definition of the economic essence of depreciation in the current economic conditions, the issue of harmonization of tax and accounting amortization and depreciation, the choice of the optimal useful life of fixed assets and setting residual value, if amortization can be considered as a financial source of processes in renovation of non-current assets etc. Purpose. The article aims to investigate the basic approaches of scientists to the interpretation of economic essence of depreciation, to develop the recommendations for clarifying its nature at the present stage of economic development, to examine the actual state of depreciation accounting of non-current assets, which are received free of charge, and solve its feasibility. Method (methodology). A historical method has been applied to investigate and ascertain the economic essence, formation and evolution of amortization category within accounting. Theoretical methods of cognition (abstraction and generalization, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction and other methods producing the conceptual knowledge) have been used for the synthesis of theoretical and methodological principles in accounting of non-current assets depreciation. For analytical research the methods of tabular presentation and comparison of information have been applied. The works of domestic and foreign scientists and economists on problems of calculation and display of non-current assets depreciation in accounting, regulatory and legislative acts of Ukraine controlling the scope of accounting and financial reporting of enterprises are the methodological basis of the study. Results. In the article the author's definition of the term "depreciation" has been proved. The disagreement with the interpretation of depreciation as a way to accumulate funds for the reproduction of non-current assets has been advanced. The problem of depreciation of non-current assets obtained by the enterprise free of charge has been considered.

Stoic Logic

In the ancient epistemology, precisely stated definition of judgment (axioma) appears only in the 3rd century B.C. It was formulated by Chrysippus of Soli, the founder of the Stoic logic. However, on the other hand, the analysis of the extant utterances in which the knowledge had been objectified since the first Greek thinkers, allows us to state that the evolution of the theory of judgment was a long process. In this development, Greek epistemology had to deal with a number of problems connected with the object of the judgment –– knowledge, with the form of its objectification –– predication, and also with the predicates of the true and false judgment –– categories of “truth” (aletheia) and “falsehood” (pseudos). The first definition of the false judgement (logos pseudes) and the true judgment (logos alethes) can be found only in the late dialogue of Plato, Sophist, which delivers precisely established terminology of the theorem. Yet, such a definition could be formulated only when Greek epistemology re-defined the scope of the meaning of the key terms-concepts, aletheia and pseudos. The term-concept aletheia was identified with the term-concept being, functioning in the ontological-axiological sphere. On the other hand, pseudos did not mean false in the sense of negating the truth, but something, which is different than truth, is its imperfect copy. Thus, the pre-Platonic philosophy has not yet formulated the terminology in which predication of something inconsistent with the actual state of being, with the truth, could be verbalized. Often to express such a form of predication, a phrase “to utter things, which are not” was used. The other problem was connected with –– characteristic ofthe Greek language –– dual function of the verb to be/einai, which included both existential and truthful function. Accordingly, every utterance, in which the predicate was the verb einai or its derivates, was ex definitione a true predication –– “it spoke beings (things, which are).” In such a situation, there was noneed in epistemology to precisely define judgment as such, and to state the conditions which the true judgment hadto meet. The problem is definitely solved by Plato in his dialogue Theaetetus, in which the philosopher defines the object of the judgment, which is knowledge (however, its object is not stated yet) and introduces the project of verification of the utterances/opinion, thanks to which an opinion ––doxa can reach the status of judgment ––logos. An opinion needs to be verified with the dialectical procedures.

Abstract The Asylum Procedures Directive stipulates that asylum applications are examined ‘impartially’ by the national authorities. This paper explores the meaning of the term impartiality in administrative settings in EU asylum law focussing on three levels: the Common European Asylum System, the administrative organisational level and the level of the individual immigration officer. CEAS does not provide for a definition of impartiality. The article connects impartiality to the right to good administration as in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. It includes jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights as well as the approach of the EU Ombudsman and EASO in its scope. These sources provide more concrete aspects of impartiality. The article is finalized with recommendations for a code of conduct.

Introduction. Financial technology or fintech is one of the most discussed problems of the modern digitalization. Particular attention is paid to describing what the fintech industry is, how it relates to traditional financial regulation and to what extent the official recognition of financial technologies can affect economic regulation and the global economy. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The article examines the concept of fintech and the regulatory as- pects of the so-called “sandbox”, which allows, being based on the comparative legal method and the method of legal expertise, to extrapolate specific problems to the entire situation in the field of fintech regulation. The author offers an overview of the main stages of the formation of legislation on financial technologies and examines the role of the Bank of Russia in this process. Results. Arguing about the consequences of such a concentration of regulatory mechanisms in the banking sector, the author thinks about the actual leveling of digitalization of banks with banking financial technologies in the science and practice of the Russian Federation. Based on a brief review of academic approaches to the definition of financial technologies, the author draws a number of parallels that allow one to outline the reasons for judicial errors and the reasons for excluding changes in fintech legislation from the attention of domestic courts, and draws conclu- sions about the general and particular consequences of the current situation. Discussion and Conclusion. During the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the scien- tific opinion about the development of the fintech industry and the need for its regulation in the Russian Federation is based on a narrow understanding of fintech itself and the peculiarities of introducing financial technologies into the practice of services. The author believes that the par- adigm for the development of the domestic fintech market is focused on the so-called banking fintech, when financial technologies are consumed and built into the ecosystem of specific banks’ activities and are not provided by non-banking entities. This leads to the fact that legislative regu- lation focuses on the development of banking law and, at the same time, excludes from the atten- tion of the legislator and the main regulator – the Central Bank of the Russian Federation – other areas, such as, for example, insurance or non-banking investment. This situation makes it pos- sible to ask the question of how much the image of fintech, formed in domestic law, corresponds to its actual state and market development, and in what proportion is the process of digitalization of traditional banking services understood by fintech.

In the practice of an industrial enterprise, the concept of compliance is closely linked to the management / control system in the organization, as well as to the risks of non-compliance, non-compliance with the laws, regulations, rules and standards of supervisory authorities, industry associations and organizations, codes of conduct, etc.The purpose of the article is to investigate the theoretical and methodological basis of compliance risk and the possibilities of using this category in the organizational and economic activities of an industrial enterprise in order to ensure its stable and efficient operation.The concept of compliance risk with respect to industrial sphere is not enshrined in the Ukrainian legislation, but it is successfully used in banking and can be successfully adapted to the characteristics of an industrial enterprise. For industrial enterprises, it is proposed to define compliance risk as the risk of the application of legal or regulatory penalties, material financial loss, loss of market share or loss of reputation by an enterprise as a result of non-compliance with laws, regulations, rules, standards of self-regulatory organizations or external and internal codes or regulations. concerning production and business activity. The compliance function draws attention to many different aspects of compliance risks: from financial risks to reputational risks, from corruption to the code of conduct of employees, and this comprehensive approach allows for the most effective monitoring of the enterprise activity and to make informed and thoughtful decisions, create situations where the risk of compliance risk is minimal. In the article it is proved that if an enterprise plans to enter the international market, work with the compliance function is a prerequisite for development and further cooperation, since many foreign partners work exclusively with organizations that comply with international standards, including in the work with compliance risk control.

Sustainability Framework

In 1988, FAO adopted its definition of sustainable development. In 1995 it adopted a Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, which offers an integrated comprehensive framework for the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture. The paper analyses briefly the correspondence between the principles contained in the definition and the provisions contained in the Code. It shows that both texts represent a sustainability framework (with different degree of detail) and identifies the main criteria and indicators implicitly or explicitly called for in both the FAO definition and Code of Conduct.

In the context of the vigorous development of big data and network communication technologies, the universality of personal data information processing, the openness of concept definitions, and the potential risks in practice have led to theoretical and practical changes in the definition of personal data information. With the widespread use of big data technology in criminal investigations, the theoretical and practical activities of big data investigation have gradually formed. Big data investigation activities are often accompanied by infringements on citizens' personal data and other legitimate rights and interests. At present, the traditional model of personal data information protection cannot restrict the code of conduct in big data investigation activities. For this reason, it is necessary to introduce a comprehensive governance model, which mainly includes relative control of individuals, balance of multiple interests and dynamic risk adjustment. Etc., and focus on the transformation of the legal protection model of personal information.
