  • Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory Annual Report 2015
    General News Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory Annual Report 2015 Introduction In 2015, Byurakan astronomers continued and developed scientific projects related to instability phenomena in the Universe resulted in a number of important discoveries, active international collaboration, a number of research grants by Byurakan astronomers, organization of a number of meetings, etc. BAO scientists had 2 ANSEF grants in 2015, as well as a French-Armenian (CNRS-SCS) joint project for 2014-2015. 5 BAO astronomers were listed among the most productive scientists in Armenia. There have been 17 publications in refereed journals, including most important international ones (ApJ, A&A, MNRAS), 3 electronic catalogs in VizieR, 2 books (Proceedings of meetings held in Byurakan), and 40 papers in Proceedings of meetings, including 18 in the Proceedings of Byurakan-Abastumani Colloquium “Instability and Evolution of Stars” held in 2013 and 19 in the Proceedings of the meeting “Relation of Astronomy to other Sciences, Culture and Society” held in 2014. There were 40 missions for research and participation in meetings and schools. Probably the most important event was the establishment in Armenia of the IAU South West Asian Regional Office of Astronomy for Development (SWA ROAD). The Inauguration Ceremony was held on Oct 13, and an attached Workshop was organized with participation of representatives from IAU and IAU OAD Officers and regional countries (Armenia, Georgia, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Russia and Turkey). The Office will operate until 2021 with further extension plans to 2030. A project of Digitization and Scientific Usage of BAO Plate Archive was conducted in April 2015. It is aimed at at compilation, accounting, digitization of BAO observational archive photographic plates and films, as well as their incorporation in databases with modern standards and methods, providing access for all observational material and development of new scientific programs based on this material.

Prepared on : March, 2001 Study purpose This project has been framed to apply Scrap & Build project of 300MW Electric power plan, to the Pridneprovskaya Thermal Power Plant owned by the JST Dneproenergo in the UKRAINE,. This project is aimed at improving the efficiency of aged facilities of the plant; enhancing its environment-friendliness; and reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. NEDO-IC —00ER01 Feasibility Study of Pridneprovskaya Thermal Power Plant Reconstruction Project March, 2001 New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Entrusted by: Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. Preface This Report is a result of the survey of the Feasibility Study of Pridneprovskaya Thermal Power Plant Reconstruction Project, which Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. received consignment of New Energy Development and Industrial Technology Organization (NEDO) to conduct this study. In December 1997, the Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP3) was held in Kyoto. At the conference, the "Kyoto Protocol" was adopted in order to prevent global warming caused by greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide. It commits developed countries to reduce their average emissions of greenhouse gases by at least 5% "in the period 2008 - 15" from the 1990 level. Japan set its target of reduction at 6%. The Kyoto Protocol also provides measures to give flexibility in attaining the goals: "Joint Implementation (JI)" and "Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)." In JI, greenhouse gas reductions are shared among developed countries through implementation of specific international projects.

  • Ukraine As Manufacturing Hub
    Ukraine as manufacturing hub Boosting value and reaching global market Introduction Yuliya Kovaliv Head of Office, National Investment Council of Ukraine As a result of changes in global geopolitical and international trade contexts, Ukraine emerged on investors’ radars as one of the key manufacturing hubs in Europe. Its beneficial location, well qualified labor force, affordably priced utilities, extensive transport infrastructure, and profound background in manufacturing make the country very attractive for export-oriented businesses. Historically, Ukraine had one of the strongest expertise in machine building among Eastern European and CIS countries. Designed and manufactured in Ukraine, sea vessels and railcars, motor vehicles and aircrafts were used domestically and exported across the world. Ukraine is known as designer and producer of a number of record-breaking machines like AN-225 Mriya – a famous aircraft with the highest carrying capacity and one the largest wingspan in the world. Up till now, expertise remains one of the principle advantages of Ukraine. In 1991, Ukraine gained independence and followed the course of economic reforms. Liberalized markets and free-trade agreements with 46 countries (the last one signed with Israel in January, 2019) resulted in the growing significance of Ukraine as a regional hub and improved its access to the global supply chain. Figures speak for themselves: export volumes in 11 months of 2018 grew by almost 10% and reached $43 billion, with exports to the EU taking over 42%. Now Ukraine is committed to further strengthen its position in the European and global manufacturing industry. For investors, opportunities are vast – from automotive spare parts production and food processing to shipbuilding and aerospace industry.

At the same time, recent agreements for the extension of Russian military basing agreements in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have drawn attention to the extent to which Russia is providing military equipment and other forms of security assistance to the region.

The article covers the phenomenon of rock music in the lives of young residents of the western regions of Soviet Ukraine, which differed significantly from the rest of the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the entire USSR. The article demonstrates the peculiarities among which this music was mastered, its existence in the youth society – from fashionable dance music to the core of nonconformitsm to the Soviet system. It was reflected in the names officially and unofficially used for rock music and its performers (Big beat, vocal-instrumental ensemble, etc.), as well as in relation to official factors (from tolerance to the prohibition). Consumers of rock music did not necessarily have to be opposed to the Soviet regime. However, the active “immersion” in rock music, and the related counterculture spheres (from the late 1960s onwards, and more and more), contributed to the formation of an alternative life style, which manifested itself in particular: listening to banned radio stations, the style of clothing that was associated with rock music, space for free performance / listening to rock music and exchanging information and impressions (“tusovka”).
