Automating Processes of Personnel Motivation Management in the Context of Implementing a Principle of Social Justice by I. A. Ivanova, O. S. Osipova, V. N. Pulyaeva

“…The work results as follows: systematization of software that automates the basic processes for staff motivation; development of recommendations for HR departments on the development and implementation of an automated system of main performance indicators. The authors have proved that the correctly implemented automation of the HR function to calculate compensation and benefits during the transition to a more complex remuneration system makes it possible in practice not just to increase the economic results of the organization, but also to implement the fundamental principle of effective management — the principle of a fair assessment of the results of each employee’s work.…”

A New Real-Time and Guaranteed Lifetime Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks by Babar Shah, Ki-Il Kim

“…However, in spite of its importance and necessity in WSNs real-time deployment, no research work has been proposed to solve this complex problem. In this paper, we present a new centralized energy and coverage aware node scheduling scheme for WSNs to analyze energy usage as well as balancing energy consumption among nodes to survive for the preconfigured lifetime. …”

Quantum circuit unoptimization by Yusei Mori, Hideaki Hakoshima, Kyohei Sudo, Toshio Mori, Kosuke Mitarai, Keisuke Fujii

“…In contrast, classical logic optimization is known to be difficult, and a lot of heuristic approaches have been developed so far. In this paper, we define and construct a quantum algorithmic primitive called quantum circuit unoptimization, which makes a given quantum circuit complex by introducing some redundancies while preserving circuit equivalence, i.e., the inverse operation of circuit optimization. …”

A Considerable Contribution to Development of Fundamentals of Scientific Knowledge in the Field of International Economic Law (review of the book «International Economic Law and Re... by L. P. Anufrieva

“…The author of the afore-referred edition, being Doctor of Laws, Professor, occupies the post of the Head of the Chair of International Law of the Diplomatic Academy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russian Federation.Notwithstanding the point that through the last years within Russia a substantial quantities of special publications related to the International Economic Law have been emerging on rather regular basis, the effective, fundamental and system analysis of the International Economic Law issues realized from the stand of the Law theory (including International Law theory) leaves a lot to be desired.Unfortunate fact, but actually Russian legal science in the most of cases is represented by textbooks and casebooks which is proper as well for the field of the International Economic Law Just the same gender is immune to the edition commissioned by prof A A Kovalev.In the Introductory Note to the textbook it is stressed out that the item was in its essence deemed for use to require the educational objectives, however it is not to be construed as an obstacle for using by the practitioners, i e those who being the members of state authorities staff, have the powers to formulate and affect the public interests pursuing in the field of international economic relations: both scholars or public executives, specialists in the theory of law, etc.The book reflects the growing complexity of the international economic relationships from the one hand, and appearance due to this of certain legal problems in the International and Municipal law systems – from the other side Having differentiated the two notions, namely: «international economic law» and «international economic activities», – the author does seek by the same very important target – to demonstrate prima facie, that the international economic activities are consisted not only of the acts and deeds of public entities (those international and municipal having the interstate nature), but also private subjects of law (natural and moral persons including transnational entities or multinational companies, their consortia, etc ); it is to be shown, secondly, that the International Economic Law is capable to regulate only certain quantity of the international economic relationships, entered into the general notion of foreign economic activities, and thirdly, that between the regulation of foreign economic activities formed by the relationship where the private subjects of law are involved, and the same which consists of public relationship (mostly between the state-powers), there is no «Chinese Wall».…”
