The article is aimed at determining the influence of manipulating the public moods on the efficiency of both formal and informal rules. It is shown that, under favorable conditions, practice of manipulating the public moods can become common. It is identified that the mechanism of formation of the public moods favorable for manipulation differs for cases of small and big game. In the case of a small game, the formation of favorable public moods is carried out passively, due to positive feedback between the spread of the small game and focusing the society on a particular problem. In the case of a big game the actor carries out a targeted formation of favorable public moods. It is proved that manipulating the public moods can have the following negative consequences: reducing the efficiency of both formal and informal rules, inefficient use of resources, and stability of ineffective formal rules. Possible mechanisms for prevention of manipulating the public moods in case of both small and big game are considered.

The article is aimed at determining the efficiency of repressive anti-corruption measures in conditions of high-level corruption. It is shown that the formal rules regulating the use of repressive methods of countering corruption are characterized by a significant level of the target inefficiency of formal rules. Resulting from ignorance as to the causes of both occurence and spread of corruption – the inefficiency of the current formal rules – repressive anti-corruption measures are fundamentally incapable of achieving a significant reduction in the level of corruptness. It has been proved that, in addition to significant target inefficiency, repressive anti-corruption methods can potentially lead to increased levels of corruption because of abusing by supervisory officials of their official duties and the spread of internal corruption within anti-corruption structures. The potential threats from the uncontrolled anti-corruption structures towards other controlling organizations were considered. It is shown that in conditions of high-level corruption repressive anti-corruption measures can lead to expansion of imitation of anti-corruption activity.

The article presents the results of the -scattering simulation at the total energy up to 27 GeV for the SPD Technical Design Report version of the Beam–Beam Counter. In the SPDRoot framework the simulation has been performed using the event generators: FRITIOF, Pythia8, and Pluto. The results have been compared with the differential cross section of the existing experimental data. The first estimations of the inclusive charged particle production asymmetries with Beam–Beam Counter have been obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The review presents investigations devoted to development of synthesis techniques and studying properties of nanosized single-domain ferrite spinels. Above-mentioned materials are used for: chemical fabrication of magnetosensitive nanocomposites with multilevel hierarchical nanoarchi-tecture and functions of recognition of microbiological objects in biologic media; targeted delivery of drugs into specific cells and organs and deposition; complex chemo-, immuno-, radiology neutron capture, hyperthermic, photodynamic cancer therapy and diagnostics in a real-time regime; adsorption of heavy-metal ions, toxins, cell decomposition debris and elimination of them from the body via the external magnetic field; development of a new generation of magnetosensitive adsorbents for medical, ecology, technical destination, composite nanostructured special materials, media and covers with beforehand set dielectric and magnetic losses to interact effectively with electromagnetic eradiation of super-high-frequency band.
