EFFICIENCY OF THE INSTITUTION OF INDEPENDENT ANTI-CORRUPTION EXPERTISE OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS AND THEIR DRAFTS by R. O. Dolotov

“…No. 4Results: the main problems are revealed associated with low efficiency of the institution of independent anti-corruption expertise; compre- hensive proposals are developed for improving its effectiveness; in particular, it is proposed to establish administrative responsibility for failure to give (ignoring) a reasoned answer to the conclusions submitted by independent experts; to stipulate additional requirements for applicants (natural persons) for obtaining the status of an independent expert (other than those currently stipulated: higher professional education and work experience in the specialty not less than 5 years); when developing the next National plan for corruption counteraction in Russia, to include instructions to the Russian Ministry of Justice on the organization of monitoring of the accredited independent experts efficiency, as well as on preparing and periodi- cally publishing the e-Bulletin, dedicated to independent anti-corruption examination; it is necessary to stipulate liability (in the form of depriva- tion of the independent expert status) for deliberately false anti-corruption expertise, and for anti-corruption examination in the case of lobbying.Scientific novelty: it is concluded that the key directions to increase the efficiency of independent anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and their drafts are: a more detailed regulation of the status of the independent expert and the interaction of developers of normative legal acts with independent experts, including the regulation of procedures of monitoring of independent experts’ functioning.Practical significance: implementation of the proposals will enhance the work of civil society representatives accredited as independent experts.…”

Robotic versus open partial nephrectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. by Zhenjie Wu, Mingmin Li, Bing Liu, Chen Cai, Huamao Ye, Chen Lv, Qing Yang, Jing Sheng, Shangqing Song, Le Qu, Liang Xiao, Yinghao Sun, Linhui Wang

“…<h4>Results</h4>Eight studies were included for the analysis, including a total of 3418 patients (757 patients in the robotic group and 2661 patients in the open group). Although RPN procedures had a longer operative time (weighted mean difference [WMD]: 40.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 14.39-67.40; p = 0.002), patients in this group benefited from a lower perioperative complication rate (19.3% for RPN and 29.5% for OPN; odds ratio [OR]: 0.53; 95%CI, 0.42-0.67; p<0.00001), shorter hospital stay (WMD: -2.78; 95%CI, -3.36 to -1.92; p<0.00001), less estimated blood loss(WMD: -106.83; 95%CI, -176.4 to -37.27; p = 0.003). …”

Express method for assessing proteolysis in cheese and aromatic addi- tives with cheese flavor by D. S. Myagkonosov, D. V. Abramov, E. G. Ovchinnikova, V. N. Krayushkina

“…The results of assessing the degree of proteolysis by the OPA method (OD340) are proportional to both the total content of soluble nitrogen and the proportion of nitrogenous substances in it with a mass of less than 0.5 kDa, which make the greatest contribution to the formation of cheese flavor.The advantage of using the OPA method for assessing proteolysis in cheeses and EMC instead of the Kjeldahl method is a simpler measurement procedure and the possibility of studying more samples in less time.…”
