Analysis of Nonlinear Consolidation Characteristics of Soil Around Tunnels Considering Self-Gravity Stress by HU Anfeng, CHEN Yuchao, XIAO Zhirong, XIE Senlin, GONG Zhaoqi

“…When Cc/Ck=1.0, a smaller soil self-gravity results in a greater influence of the initial effective stress distribution on the consolidation rate and a higher final surface settlement. When Cc/Ck>1.0, the permeability coefficient plays a dominant role in the consolidation process, and the consolidation rate decreases as the gravity increases. …”

Health аs а Sphere оf Formation оf Human Capital: the Problems of the Activation by O. Grishnova, O. Brintseva

“…If real human capital grows faster than nominal, then healthcare activities are effective, and if on the contrary – in this area the processes of fictivization takes place. Recommendations for reducing the fiktivization processes in the sphere of healthcare are proposed, which include: development and implementation of a system for monitoring the quality of medical services on the basic data of the eHealth system; the further introduction of digital technologies into the national health system and, on this basis, – increasing the availability of analytical information for both medical professionals and researchers, and for the public, the dissemination of medical literacy and healthy lifestyles.…”
