Centralized System

The economy of modern Russia is in rather unfavorable conditions for its development. Economic growth rates have lagged behind the world average for a long time, and production indicators are falling. And all this is taking place in the context of growing international isolationism, which does not allow the full use of external loans and technologies. In turn, this situation is sensitively reflected in the quality and standard of living of the population, which are declining every year. The reasons for the current difficulties must be sought not only in modern phenomena, but also in those processes that took place in the past. Simultaneously with them, it is necessary to identify examples of successful development of statehood, which allowed the country to achieve significant, in certain periods - exponential, growth of the domestic economy. In this regard, an example of such a period is the second half of the 1920s - 1930s, when in a short period of time the USSR was able to achieve a colossal increase in the gross indicators of the economy and take its rightful place among the leading industrial states. It seems to us that the reasons for such a powerful rise were the over-centralization of the economy. It helped to reveal the hidden reserves of Soviet society, to streamline the activities of all elements of the management system. This aspect determined the goal of our study as a study of the emergence of a super-centralized system of industrial management in the USSR.

Origin Of The Moon

During the last 10 years, the writer has presented evidence indicating that the Moon was captured by the Earth and that the large collisions with its surface occurred within a surprisingly short period of time. These observations have been a continuous preoccupation during the past years and some explanation that seemed physically possible and reasonably probable has been sought.

From long, long time ago until nowadays information still takes a serious position for all aspect of life, fromindividual to organization. In ABC company information is somewhat very sensitive, very important. But how wekeep our information safe, well we have many ways to do that: in hard drive, removable disc etc. with otherorganizations they even have data centre to save their information. The objective of information security is to keep information safe from unwanted access. We applied Risk Mitigation Action framework on our data management system and after several months we have a result far better than before we use it: information more secure, quickly detect incidents, improve internal and external collaboration etc.

The right to the flow of income from water is vigorously pursued, protected, and fought over in any arid part of the world. Pakistan is of course no exception. Reform of irrigation institutions necessarily changes the rights to water, whether it be those of farmers, government, or government functionaries. Those perceived rights may be explicit and broadly accepted, or simply takings that are not even considered legitimate. Nevertheless they will be fought over. Pakistan has a long history of proposals for irrigation reform, little or none being implemented, except as isolated pilot projects. Thus, to propose major changes in irrigation institutions must be clearly shown to have major benefits to justify the hard battles that must be fought and the goodwill of those who might win those battles for reform. Proponents of irrigation institution reform have always argued the necessity of the reforms and the large gains to be achieved. Perhaps, however, those arguments have not been convincing. This paper will briefly outline the failed attempts at irrigation reform to provide an element of reality to the discussion. It will then proceed to make the case of the urgency of reform in a somewhat different manner to the past. Finally, current major reform proposals will be presented. This paper approaches justification of irrigation reform by focusing on the agricultural growth rate. It does so because that is the critical variable influencing poverty rates and is a significant determinant of over-all economic growth rates. The paper decomposes growth rates and suggests a residual effect of deterioration of the irrigation system that is large and calls for policy and institutional reform. The data are notional, suggesting the usefulness of the approach and paves the way for more detailed empirical analysis and enquiry for the future.

Investment Fraud

Protecting financial consumers from investment fraud has been a recurring problem in Canada. The purpose of this paper is to predict the demographic characteristics of investors who are likely to be victims of investment fraud. Data for this paper came from the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada’s (IIROC) database between January of 2009 and December of 2019. In total, 4575 investors were coded as victims of investment fraud. The study employed a machine-learning algorithm to predict the probability of fraud victimization. The machine learning model deployed in this paper predicted the typical demographic profile of fraud victims as investors who classify as female, have poor financial knowledge, know the advisor from the past, and are retired. Investors who are characterized as having limited financial literacy but a long-time relationship with their advisor have reduced probabilities of being victimized. However, male investors with low or moderate-level investment knowledge were more likely to be preyed upon by their investment advisors. While not statistically significant, older adults, in general, are at greater risk of being victimized. The findings from this paper can be used by Canadian self-regulatory organizations and securities commissions to inform their investors’ protection mandates.

In order to improve construction site management, we make the architect’ position as the starting point for our research ,analyze the similarities and differences between the project manager and the architect and transform the traditional building construction management system from centralized system into flat -like system. Furthermore, we propose that the implementation of the system must be assisted with the construction of credit system and the establishment and implementation of personal practice insurance system.

Difficult Transition

Development of vehicles to operate on nonpetroleum fuels began in earnest in response to the energy shocks of the 1970s. While petroleum will remain the predominant transportation fuel for a long time, petroleum supplies are finite, so it is not too soon to begin the difficult transition to new sources of energy. In the past decade, composition of the fuel utilized in the internal combustion engine has gained recognition as a major factor in the control of emissions from the tailpipe of the automobile and the rate of formation of ozone in the atmosphere. Improvements in air quality can be realized by using vechicles that operate on natural gas, propane, methanol, ethanol, or electricity, but introduction of these alternative fuel vehicles presents major technical and economic challenges to the auto industry, as well as the entire country, as long as gasoline remains plentiful and inexpensive.

Abstract OBJECTIVE During the past 15 years, the concept of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors has continued to evolve. We present an interesting case of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor that showed rapid growth during a short period of time. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 9-year-old boy had been experiencing intractable complex partial seizures since the age of 7 years. Magnetic resonance imaging scans demonstrated a well-demarcated 3.5-cm lesion with a 1.5-cm ring-enhanced core in the left temporal lobe. One month later, the lesion had rapidly grown to occupy three times more space than on the first evaluation, with the ring-enhanced core reaching approximately five times its initial volume. INTERVENTION A combined tumor removal and epileptogenic focus resection surgery was performed immediately. In the pathological examination, the presence of the specific glioneuronal element with a Ki-67 labeling index of lower than 1%, as well as the glial component with a Ki-67 labeling index of 8%, led to a postoperative diagnosis of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, complex form. No adjuvant therapy was performed. Five years after surgery, there is no evidence of any recurrence and the boy continues to be seizure free without antiepileptic drugs. CONCLUSION The lesion did not behave as a stable benign entity as it is generally accepted, and is, therefore, presented as an argument in favor of an early and complete resection.
