REDUCING THE RISKS OF ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS by A. L. Lisovsky

“…In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the risks of existing mechanisms of protection against counterfeit products and develop measures to reduce them.The object of research in this article is labeling, which is the application of a special DataMatrix code to the packaging and the entry of this unit of goods into the database.The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations on the use of additional visual control tools on the material carriers of the DataMatrix code, protected from forgery, and to assess the probability of the level of risk reduction and the level of possible losses when using them.The novelty of this study was: identification and analysis of risks of possible threats to the security of the mandatory labeling system for various categories of goods; development of a risk register of possible threats to the security of the system with a grouping of qualitatively assessed and quantifiable risks; development and verification of a model for assessing the probability and possible losses for a group of quantifiable risks; assessment of the probability of risks and possible budget losses from non-payment of taxes and excise duties; assessment of the probability of risks and possible losses for a bona fide manufacturer and end user; formation of management measures aimed at reducing the likelihood of risks and reducing the consequences of the potential implementation of risks; assessment of the residual level of probability and exposure to risks when using additional means of visual control on the material carriers of the DataMatrix code; assessment of the residual level of probability and exposure to risks when using additional visual inspection tools on tangible media protected from counterfeiting in similar systems and Track&Trace marking systems implemented in foreign countries.The results obtained can be applied by federal executive authorities in the formation of state policy in the field of increasing the level of security of Russians, significantly reduce the amount of counterfeit and low-quality analogues, effectively combat smuggling, protect legal businesses and consumers, and also allow the state to increase tax collection.…”

Germinal Matrix-Intraventricular Hemorrhage: A Tale of Preterm Infants by Walufu Ivan Egesa, Simon Odoch, Richard Justin Odong, Gloria Nakalema, Daniel Asiimwe, Eddymond Ekuk, Sabinah Twesigemukama, Munanura Turyasiima, Rachel Kwambele Lokengama, William Mugowa Waibi, Said Abdirashid, Dickson Kajoba, Patrick Kumbowi Kumbakulu

“…Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) is a common intracranial complication in preterm infants, especially those born before 32 weeks of gestation and very-low-birth-weight infants. Hemorrhage originates in the fragile capillary network of the subependymal germinal matrix of the developing brain and may disrupt the ependymal lining and progress into the lateral cerebral ventricle. …”

Research Progress in Urban Pollinator-Friendly Landscape Construction by Guiying LI, Hanwen XIAO, Runan TIAN

“…All along, the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom have been at the forefront of research, and although China has also conducted relevant research, the amount of literature has been low. In addition, four major research clusters in the field of pollinator-friendly landscapes are obtained through keyword co-occurrence network analysis: 1) effects of habitat fragmentation on pollinator community diversity; 2) impacts of declining pollinator diversity on agricultural economy; 3) impacts of urbanization on pollinator (Hymenoptera) diversity; 4) flowering plant resources and pollinator diversity conservation. …”
