The article provides a brief overview of the main ßunctional areas of the divisions of a large transport and logistics company, JSC "Russian Railways". The main risks of railway transport are highlighted. Risks related to logistics in the context of the main business blocks of JSC "Russian Railways" and their functional divisions are highlighted.Some methods of logistics risk management for cargo transportation by rail, which are widely used in logistics, are considered. The analysis of the main logistics risks in the transport of goods by rail using such methods is carried out. This includes the classification of logistics risks. The obtained quantitative and qualitative data are systematized and structured in the form of a semantic model of the main logistics risks and risk factors that led to the violation of the terms of cargo delivery during railway transportation.When building the model, we used previously conducted studies of risk factors emanating from third-party organizations that perform work, services, and deliveries based on contracts for divisions of JSC "Russian Railways".The obtained research results in the form of a semantic model are proposed to be used as a tool for managing logistics risks.

The influence of the existing conditions of operational work at transportation of cargoes by group and single cars is investigated. An analysis of modern approaches to improving the efficiency of the car fleet and the competitiveness of railway transport in the transport market of Ukraine. The most perspective approaches and directions of improvement of cargo delivery systems are allocated. A study of the efficiency of the organization of transportation by the criterion of total car-hours of downtime under accumulation. A mathematical model of chemical cargo transportation by carriage, group shipments and transportation of container trains with accumulation to technical norms of trains in the directions of transportation has been developed. The efficiency of two models of chemical cargo shipment organization is compared and a more efficient transportation option is identified. It is established that for more efficient use of rolling stock and reduction of car turnover there is transportation of goods in cars as a part of a container train. The influence of the components of the car turnover on its final value is analyzed. A study of the cost of transportation of benzene in tanks and tank containers in some areas. According to research, the cost of transporting benzene in tank containers on railway ownership platforms is twice less than in private tanks and tanks of Ukrzaliznytsia fleet. These recommendations will improve the process of transportation and increase the volume of goods by rail.

Goal: investigate legal issues on membership of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the International Criminal Court. Methods of research: analysis and study of regulatory documents containing provisions on the international railway carriage of goods. Railway transport in developed countries takes a leading place in comparison with other modes of transport. This is due to its versatility – the ability to serve various sectors of the economy and meet the needs of the population in transportation, regardless of the conditions in which the transportation is carried out. Therefore, for almost two hundred years, rail transport remains the main means of moving goods. There are several types of international transportation known to international rail freight traffic, each of which has its own legal characteristics. Consider the following types of transportation: 1. Transportation of direct and indirect messages. 2. Rail or mixed international transport. 3. Non-reloading and reloading international transportation. 4. Neighboring and transit international transportation. 5. International traffic with reconsignment and border transportation. 6. Special types of cargo transportation. Among the listed types of transportation, in our opinion, currently the most effective are mixed container transportation or intermodal, multimodal, combined, i.e. involving two or more modes of transport, and the delivery process itself was called “intermodal” or “multimodal” transportation. Discussion: offering a comprehensive and detailed study and use of this practice in academia.

Abstract Introduction This article compares opioid use patterns following four-corner arthrodesis (FCA) and proximal row carpectomy (PRC) and identifies risk factors and complications associated with prolonged opioid consumption. Materials and Methods The PearlDiver Research Program was used to identify patients undergoing primary FCA (Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] codes 25820, 25825) or PRC (CPT 25215) from 2007 to 2017. Patient demographics, comorbidities, perioperative opioid use, and postoperative complications were assessed. Opioids were identified through generic drug codes while complications were defined by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revisions, Clinical Modification codes. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results A total of 888 patients underwent FCA and 835 underwent PRC. Three months postoperatively, more FCA patients (18.0%) continued to use opioids than PRC patients (14.7%) (p = 0.033). Preoperative opioid use was the strongest risk factor for prolonged opioid use for both FCA (odds ratio [OR]: 4.91; p < 0.001) and PRC (OR: 6.33; p < 0.001). Prolonged opioid use was associated with an increased risk of implant complications (OR: 4.96; p < 0.001) and conversion to total wrist arthrodesis (OR: 3.55; p < 0.001) following FCA. Conclusion Prolonged postoperative opioid use is more frequent in patients undergoing FCA than PRC. Understanding the prevalence, risk factors, and complications associated with prolonged postoperative opioid use after these procedures may help physicians counsel patients and implement opioid minimization strategies preoperatively.

Abstract The use of a narrative imperfect in Am 7:10–17 after 7:1–9 and the abrupt shift to 8:1–3 frequently compelled critics to determine its literary form. For diachronic studies defining classifications include ‘third-party report’ and ‘apophthegma’. By contrast, synchronic studies emphasize the contextual integration of Am 7:10–17 and concentrate on a narrative analysis. Within this focus it is striking, that the passage is often associated with a ‘drama’ but without assessing the methodological ramifications of such a claim. The present article takes this ‘synchronic gap’ up and relates it to approaches to view drama as a possible genre for prophetic books. In doing so, a reading of Am 7:10–17 as part of a narrator-mediated discourse using a dramatic mode shows that the passage can be deemed an entrance with three speeches integrated into the wider context of 7:1–8:3. Particularly the classification of 7:10a, 12aα, 14aα as narrator’s discourse using a dramatic mode makes this claim plausible.

Current geopolitical and economic conditions for the functioning of railway transport in most post-Soviet states are such that it is extremely difficult to provide required quality of transport services and break-even operations at high expenses for maintaining the railway infrastructure and rolling stock. Dynamics of transportation of the Tajik Railway (TSR) is shown, which displays that most of its sections are classified as low-intensity ones. The paper proposes methodical principles, setting and qualitative analysis of the task of rationalization of operational work and organization of car flows for international transportation, taking into account the specifics of the Tajik Railway. There is a problem of complex maintenance of the efficiency of operational work in modern conditions based on the synthesis of the tasks of self-management (rational internal operational technology of the Tajik Railway) and coordination tasks (technological interaction with railway administrations of other states). Author substantiated the necessity of solving this problem. Proposed classification of technological restrictions and controlled variables in the performance of transport takes into account methods for changing external conditions for the functioning of the railway landfill and methods for increasing internal efficiency of its operation. The search for the solution of the problem involves direct search of variants along its ordered set with clipping of groups of variants that do not correspond to constraints, with the subsequent finding of compromise control over a set of effective alternatives.

Sweeping across the social and political landscape of the northeastern United States during the late 1820s and early 1830s, the Antimasonic Party has earned a modest immortality as the first “third” party in American history. In pamphlets, speeches, sermons, protests, and other venues, Antimasons lambasted the fraternal order of Freemasonry as undemocratic, inegalitarian, and un-Christian, reviling it as a threat to the moral order and civic health of the Early Republic. Because they believed that the fraternal organization largely controlled all levels of government, antebellum Antimasons first created a social movement and then an independent political party. Even before the full emergence of modern mass democratic politics, Antimasons demonstrated the benefits of party organization, open national nominating conventions, and party platforms. Scholars with otherwise different perspectives on the “party period” tend to agree that Antimasonry had an important impact on what became the first true mass party organizations—the Jacksonian Democrats and the Whigs—and helped push the political culture in a more egalitarian and populist direction.

The common problem was studied concerning the personnel safety and the operation of railway transport during industrial cargo transportation. Statistical and technical analysis were conducted related to the conditions and reasons of railway accidents caused by various hazardous factors and occurred over the past 15 years in the mining industry of Russia. The study based on natural, technical, and organizational factors showed that there is a steady tendency towards the preservation of the number of accidents such as train collisions, fires, and derailments. Despite the measures taken, such accidents do occur resulting in fatal accidents. The situation is explained by the fact that safety of rail transport is conditioned by the factors that can be divided into difficult-to-control and complex (coordinated by action). The differences between complex factors caused by the railway technology and difficult-to-control factors, which include natural factors or their combination with the stimulated factors are studied in the article. Study of the evidence including the details of the development of fires and derailments of trains from the rails, the consequences of such accidents and conclusions about their causes shows that the additional calculations and classification of the difficult-to-control factors in combination with other causes allow to give a more detailed assessment of the nature of difficult-to-control factors and the interrelationship between them. Through this it becomes possible to detect the maximum number of violations. It is concluded that improving railway safety is possible only with a differentiated approach to the role of each group of factors including difficult-to-control factors, and the ability of personnel to influence the occurrence and development of accidents. The time characteristics of railway accidents are considered. The idea of automated information filtering of clogged messages in the analysis of accidents is formulated.
